“most people think this wall business is a newer idea than it really is”

The Secure Fence Act of 2006 (H.R. 6061) authorized and partially funded the construction of 700 miles of “fencing” along the Mexican border. (which included bollard barrier, as well as Normandy style vehicle barriers).

Other barrier building programs date back further - even some from WWII and earlier.

Have been waiting for an update from you. I read Border Report once a week. Trying to keep up with what the opposition is up to. They are screaming about loss of habitat. Disfiguring Tohono O’odham Native American artifacts, etc. I equate the level of screeching to the success Trump is having.

Thanx again for posting!

In this debate question both the fence parts and the wall parts are mentioned, the 7.3 billion dollars are for the Texas part alone.
