Just another example of why, today, our country's "best and brightest" would have qualified as "ignorant and utterly moronic" 60-to-70 years ago...
Even the Dutch knew that when the dike is leaking like a sieve, you plug the holes below the water line... The others, above the water line, can be handled later...
We have none but Congress to thank for that. Credit for that failure rests solely with our useless “representatives”, elected servants who pursue their own agendas at our expense. Yet, people vote them back in, term after term after term.
Trump himself said there would be 400 miles built by the end of this year. Didn’t specify replacement or new but at the rate it’s been going, it doesn’t sound like that 400 will be done.
I saw this article elsewhere, it’s garbage, it tries to equate all barriers with the wall so that when “vehicle barriers” are replaced with wall it “doesn’t count as new wall”.
It also just isn’t true anyway, brand new wall is going up.
Thought for the media and democrats no new border wall was a good thing..?
You must have to be a Democrat to be confused by this...The old walls which were broken down or insufficient to the point that it was never intended they would stop illegals is being replaced...In anyone’s book other than Dem politicians and the news media, those are new walls...
It’s coming. Have faith.
The only thing that matters are the numbers.
And, by that, I mean the number-of third world aliens, illegal, legal, “refugee” whatever, moving into our homeland and transforming it forever.
Walls, fences, patrols etc are tools to reduce illegal migration. They are not indicators of success. Only the numbers are that.
And by the numbers, the Trump presidency has made zero difference. By the numbers, this is Obama’s third term. Actually the numbers are so awful it is Obama’s third term and half of his fourth. Legal immigration continues at a million a year, mostly family-based chain-migration from the world’s S-holes. No laws have been changed. No reduction has been achieved. Illegal immigration, of course, is off the charts. Only in refugee admissions has there been a been a minor reduction but that’s dwarfed by the spike in illegal catch-and-release admissions.
Now I’m not saying this is Trump’s fault. His passivity his first two years is on him, but most of the blame goes to the hate-America Democrats and the cheap-labor-whore GOPe. But the bottom line, the tragedy is, that Trump’s 2016 election has made zero real-world difference in our headlong rush to demographic oblivion.
That’s it. I’m finished. It’s Pocahontas for me. Or the Indian chick. What’s her name Kali? /s
What a lawless dictator...wait what?
I don’t want the border to be totally blocked until a new girlfriend for me comes across, maybe from Venezuela or Costs Rica. Then go ahead and shut it tight.
Emissaries of certain religious charities like to disseminate that propaganda while calling for open borders from the other sides of their faces.
Because Democrats .
Maybe this is why the story was pushed out into the press now, that there are no “new” miles of border wall - almost 100 “new” miles in the Rio Grande Valley are getting ready to drop this fiscal year.

Getting the Rio Grande Valley done is the biggest single battle of securing the border. Looks like the Left is about to lose it, so they are blowing smoke to cover their retreat.
OMG! Read later.
I think they have been replacing miles of the so called vehicle barriers that a kindergarten class could swarm through in about ten seconds with 18’ to 30’ steel bollard fencing.
That qualifies as miles of new, effective fencing replacing ineffective fencing.
