Acting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) commissioner Mark Morgan provided updates on wall construction during a press briefing Monday, explaining that the administration has erected 65 miles of border wall...
The new wall largely consists of 30-foot tall structures that are embedded in concrete.
“If you go to those areas where there was pedestrian barriers or their old landing mat, where they can just knock it over with a car, or cut a hole in it in seconds — where new wall was going in, that’s exactly what it is,” Morgan argued. “And if you go out there and ask the agents, they’ll tell you that’s new wall.”...
Morgan did acknowledge a difference between what he calls “new wall” and “new linear miles.” The new linear miles would encompass border wall being built in sectors where no barriers — no matter how small — previously existed. He noted that by 2020 the Rio Grande Valley sector could “easily reach 100 new linear miles of wall.”...
A senior administration official told the Caller that the administration’s focus on “new wall” rather than “new linear miles” is due to the priorities of border agents and logistical roadblocks.
“These places were actually priority, not just building in areas to say we are making progress,” the official said.
Another official added, “Every new mile that’s been built is because CBP have asked for it there.”
Building new linear miles is also more difficult because, in most cases, the administration has to purchase or otherwise acquire the land for construction.

Build a beautiful Wall.
Control the border and our autonomy.

Damn I wonder how a new highway ever gets constructed?
Seems like the same applies to it also.
Since May when Trump laid down the law to Mexico, border apprehensions are down by 56 percent. That shows what can happen when we stand up and say “No mas!”
AMERICA’s border wall.

Check out what happens in CA. People fight the highways now - leftists delayed new freeways for *decades*.
Eminent domain has limitations.
Are they going to put land mines on the Mehican side? If not,why not?
Well, Trump finally got a few judges to overrule the open borders commits that were filing every time Trump said border wall and now the ball can start rolling again...I just want to spit at all the legal blockades the libs have put up against this president. Never has 1 president faced so much opposition like President Trump.
“That there is piss poor writing (just like mine). Make it clear when you write, please. Are you saying the new wall is just as weak as the old wall? That’s what it reads like, dear woodblock.”
The Daily Caller has poor editing, from what I have noticed. Their news is top notch, though.
Highways take years.
Those are quotes - so he was talking about it. But yeah - not very clear. Although the sentence right before it states “The new wall largely consists of 30-foot tall structures that are embedded in concrete.” So he is talking about a new wall that is better - so it makes sense.
Yeah. Need to be fair insofar as the author was quoting someone else. If I were writing the article, I would look for a work around on that quote. Thanks!
only one democrat sane enough on this one issue to speak actual truth in 2020. If we don’t have a secure border we don’t have a country.
Now, what she believes constitutes a ‘secure border’ may not match up to what we think, but this simple truth is ignored and stamped down by the current batch of socialist leftards.
Don’t tell the DenocRATS and their media; they hate the wall just as they Hate America.
It’s a direct quote. The speaker wasn’t clear but the reporter should have asked for clarification instead of just printing the statement, because it is confusing.
“No mas!”

Remember when Roberto Duran said that in his losing match with Sugar Ray Leonard?

Well and truly said and every word of it! And put another way, it’s because they hate America that they hate the wall. I’m committed to a complete shunning of every professed Democrat I know, INCLUDING family members because they are putting our very lives at great risk! I never tire of telling people that every Democrat I’ve ever met was either evil or ignorant, or BOTH!
Evil or Ignorant,
It’s a Spiritual
Thing.
