EXCLUSIVE: Trump's border agency admits he has built ZERO new walls despite claiming otherwise for months — as the president prepares to veto lawmakers' attempt to kill his emergency declaration and keep his signature campaign promise alive U.S.
Customs and Border Protection told DailyMail.com that no new border wall has been erected
President Trump has boasted that he has built new walls, a claim that appears untrue given CBP's statement on the record
All the construction along the border to date has consisted of replacement and 'secondary' fencing
DailyMail.com asked CBP to identify where border walls exist in places where nobarriers existed on Inauguration Day 2017
A spokesman conceded that '[t]he first new wall project, where no barrier currently exists, is anticipated to start in April'
The United States government has built no new border walls during the Trump administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed exclusively to DailyMail.com on Thursday. Border barriers erected between the U.S. and Mexico since Inauguration Day 2017 have consisted of supplements to existing walls and replacements for outmoded or decreipt sections.

I’ve gotten to the point that I no longer trust any source. Even Fox News has their moments. Drudge is dead to me. One America News seems good on TV and The Liberty Daily and WhatFinger online. I don’t think anything in print is worth it anymore.
Quote: “What do the courts have to do with national security? The only way PDJT can be ‘overruled’ is if he lets himself be overruled.”
So he should what, ignore the rulings of the courts? I am sick of hearing this kind of impractical tripe. For better or worse, our Courts have grabbed way too much power in this country and have mythical status amongst the electorate as being “above” the other branches of government. If you want to solve that problem, and I 100% agree it needs to be solved like yesterday, then the Convention of States is our best chance.
In the meantime, if Trump were to pull a “ignore the courts” stunt, he would be impeached and REMOVED in five seconds flat.
The Courts have ruled on detaining illegals, DACA, etc. and until the cases make their way to the Supreme Court, where we can only hope Lil Johnny Roberts doesn’t stab us, we are stuck obeying the rulings as is the President.
The illegal alien invaders respond to reality, not to Twitter posts about phantom “wall building”.
On the ground, in the real world, Trump is letting them in.
The awful numbers reflect this reality.
Thanks Jim.
Thank goodness they did not send a veto proof bill stopping the emergency funding to the President.
It should not have even been as close as it was.
I sometimes post articles and let others hash it out.
It seems kind of poor form to post something and then tell folks what to think about it before they even get a chance to read it.
There are times when I’ll comment too.
Here, I think he was taken aback by the tone of the article, which wouldn’t be all that hard to be, in light of the volume of B. S. being shoveled.
Yes it is...
The SPECIFIC INTENT of the whole “news” story (that Trump is lying) is written to generate your exact reaction: “Gee, Trump is lying about the wall. Again. I will never trust him again, I will believe everything the enemy’s ABCNNBCBS press corpse says about him.”
Trump IS replacing useless fences in areas with “new walls”, busted fences with “new walls”, car barriers with “new walls” .... Yes, “A wall” needs to be along the border, but the first fences and barriers were put up years ago in the very places where the most illegals walked over. Those MUST be updated and replaced with adequate barriers - which are ALL parts of the “new wall”.
See how (and why) you have been misled by his enemies?
...said old sections consisting of chicken wire.
Agree. This could be a lot of splitting hairs.
If we tear out our old backyard deck and replace it, are we wrong to say we put up a new deck?
Most excellent.
Loved your post!!!!! Kudo’s!
Replacing crap fencing with a wall is what I call new wall. One doesn’t stop people and the other does. A strand of barbed wire is not a wall, a vehicle barrier is not a wall, a 6ft rusty piece of crap is not a wall. Trump is building walls starting in the most critical places.
“In the meantime, if Trump were to pull a “ignore the courts” stunt, he would be impeached and REMOVED in five seconds flat.”
Goron, If PDJT and his idiot advisors are going to cede all executive authority to the corrupt courts, he might as well resign. They’re doing injunctions(unconstitutional edicts) on everything. I’m surprised they didn’t do one on his grounding the 737’s.
If farkhead congressman try to impeach PDJT from using his authority under the Constitution to protect America, it’s go time anyway.
Stunt? LOL.
Think about it. The NEA of 1976 specifies the “remedy” and the responsibility for terminating an emergency declaration. That is on the congress. you re witnessing the intelligent design of our system.
You can’t respond to an mergence by judicial fiat of 1 or a handful of judges. The country could be destroyed din that time. Oh a judge in Hawaii stays the emergency response to a historical storm in Florida. You see the illogic of having the judiciary have role. We’re invaded by islamic terrorist cells and a muslim court in Minneapolis and the muslims n the district court put an injunction on the FBI and the president from responded. Does that work for you.
These are on congress and the president to battle it out. No role for courts in emergencies. The MNEA incorporated previous court opinions in order to prevent such idiocy.
with even better spell check

Does that work for you?

More stunts please.
BS!! I’ve seen the wall at Santa Theresa, NM. It’s a very nice wall and I was talking to a BP agent tonight and they are going to build all the way to the county line.
See my reply before this. I will grant that the new wall replaced some wimpy Normandy-type barriers that you could just walk around and it replaced some 5-wire barbed wire fence, so if they are saying it was just a replacement it is just semantics and Fake News.
Trump is telling the truth, I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
Very good posting providing an update on the border barrier.
They had miles of Normandy style, welded Jack-barriers that would stop a car, but which didn’t even connect, so you would just walk right by them, or ride a mountain bike. That is obviously a far worse trafficking route than the place where there is nothing at all. SO when allocating resources, they calculated a 30’ wall there was better than leaving the jacks there and doing to 30’ wall somewhere it wasn’t as needed.
Shills are pushing hard lately. Something big must be coming down.
