Secretary of Defense Mark Esper has approved an additional 20 miles of 30-foot high barriers for the southern border, a section of wall that is being paid for by previously repurposed Pentagon funds...
While then-acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan had earlier approved some 135 miles of fencing requested by the Department of Homeland Security in the Yuma, El Paso and Tucson sectors, the cost of constructing that section of the border wall was less than originally anticipated, freeing up funds to support the additional 20 miles approved Monday...

Another day, another 20 miles of Trump Super Barrier in the pipeline.
Excellent. Little by little it will get done.
Sounds like typical Trump....early and below estimate
Rome was not built in a day.
Great wall of China was not built quickly.
Tajmahal construction required 20+ years.
So why should anyone expect the border wall to be built quickly?
“why should anyone expect the border wall to be built quickly?”
A lot of very hard prep work has brought us to where we are today - border wall construction contracts and building activity are starting to fall like rain. The fruits are now coming to bear.
Between now and October 1st, we will likely see a further flurry of contracts awarded, to get the money committed before the fiscal year ends.
A lot more is coming. We are now off to the races.
Rome was now built in a day.
More importantly, it didn’t have activist Ninth Circuit District Court Judges to contend with who issued Empire-Wide injunctions.
On time. Under budget...
It WOULD be built very quickly if not for the resistance. If the president had full funding, he would have that thing up in under two years. He’s a doer - and not a patient one when it comes to things like this.
Almost makes one wonder if much of the establishment’s resistance is due to them not getting kickback on a federal construction project.
When are they going to construct the border funnel so that the rapid and efficient departure of 30-to-40 million border-jumping criminals already here can begin?
Bloomberg is calling these “New” miles in their story.
I expect that they are using the word the way the Administration does - there might be some rusty old crap there now. We don’t know for sure, until the specific segments are identified.
Paging Menopausal Ann...
MORE WINNING!
Gotta send some work to "Formen Mike" and Fisher Industries of We Build the Wall. Man, they are the are gettin-r-done.

Silly you. The obvious answer is the Freepers. The most impatient group of (otherwise) good and honorable conservatives.
You understood thoroughly the point I was trying to make!
There are so many posters here who turn against Trump on a dime.
Because we're Americans?
Because you’re Americans who got a skating rink that hadn’t happened after 12 years in 3 months, once The Donald took over. If he had all of the dem shenanigans stopped, the wall would go up with the relative same speed.
Agreed...
As is his custom, Donald Trump is building his wall under budget. Had it not been for insane roadblocks raised by the Democrats, he could have built it on time as well
