This is the website that Trump set up to show the progress on the wall.
275 miles, so far.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and you’ll see the last update was 8/10.
We’re nearly at 300 miles now and are at the rate of 10 miles per week.

I knew we were more than 275 miles. I go there to see if there are any updates.
This year its the Deplorable against the Despicable.
The Deplorable want a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. Since that amnesty was granted already, a second amnesty is off the table. What remains is the enforcement the Democrats have disallowed since then.
The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.
Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.
We need to pass these protections in order not to make out Democrats as liars who promised the protection in exchange for a ONE TIME AMNESTY. The Democrats got the amnesty already. Now its past time for the protections we were promised.
They're all several feet in the ground and set in concrete.
First off, there was already a substantial border wall to begin with. So it’s NOT like we put up on 275 of 1954 miles of open desert anyone could walk across.
Two, much of the old wall needed replacing, and the 275 is new wall, so doesn’t address the old wall replacement in that number.
Finally, remember how hard the fight to even get this was? We had Trump starving government employee’s babies because he shutdown the government over it? Nanzi was adamant not one dime would be spent? He finally used money in an emergency act from the military? And THAT went through a host of court challenges?
So it’s not like he’s piddling around with this.
Not really. There are large sections that are so mountainous you cannot build a wall, or they are almost impossible to get through.
Coming along nicely. Over 750 total miles built, in construction, or in pre-construction where land has been acquired and cleared.
I can’t believe the ignorant MORONS on this site.
How, after all this time and 300 miles of new fence and videos and videos of Trump at wall building sites, can you NOT KNOW that the walls are buried into concrete? How is that possible?
Are you aware that Hillary lost and that Donald Trump is president?
I know know there are large sections without building planned (and it remains to be seen how unneeded a barrier will be there once current plans are completed).
I’m only saying the map with its legend is misleading and of limited informational value in that it doesn’t specify that most of that red line hasn’t been completed yet.
YOu all seem to be arguing against what I haven’t claimed.
My beef is with the site and map having limited informational value and its presentation is misleading in terms of how much has been built.
Chill ass-weep-eh. Did I make a study of the fence? No. My comment was based on how they construct it so quickly. (I know it’s sped up footage) Also, I work. And volunteer for Nick Freitas. So I’m not 100% tuned in to every nuance of every foot of the fence. Don’t have time. Glad you do though. Chump roast.
OK, apologies to you and then my mistake.
It appeared to me that you were saying Trump’s efforts weren’t worthy.
Trump’s the only game in town. I am behind him 100%.
AND I think his base needs to keep pressure on where he falters, such as selling out to Big Pharma and the Deep State on the vaccine and the Covid hoax.
Perhaps.
But I’m confident that over 700 mi are as good as built. I think the generally accepted estimate is that we need 1200 -1400 actual miles of wall.
I’d be good with that estimate.
*But last I heard Trump was only promising about 450 miles before the end of his current term?
I think he’s saying “actually built,” not in construction or pre-construction.
Right. Which is all that matters if there is a change in administration. (Though we’re of course all doomed if that happens anyway...)
