I posted a photo of what El Paso had and what they replaced it with over here: Post 104
Other freepers have posted video links and photos of what is clearly NEW CONSTRUCTION along the border.
Play on words..NEW...vs redoing old sections.

Kinda like replacing the roof on a house.
Is it a new roof, replacement or both?
