Doesn’t matter.
With Biden inviting the invaders across the border it will have zero effectiveness.
A lot of it was just a wire or two or perhaps some anti-vehicle ballards. Just walk on through.
The “replacement” is very important. These weren’t walls at all and they are in the most traveled areas.
maybe already posted... but here is some great Trump news.
President Trump signed law removing lifetime benefits from congress.
He needs to declare it a National Monument so it can’t be taken down.
So, according to the communist propaganda, anyone who goes to the car dealership and trades in their old car to purchase a new car will no longer be able to say they have a “new” car...
C'mon, Man!
It’s all new barriers, because the barriers that were replaced, weren’t barrriering anything. In places it wasn’t there at all, could be walked over, could be stepped over and could be jumped over.
Arizona was the big winner, with over 225 miles completed. They also got full coverage by Integrated Fixed Towers.
There is a clear summary table above (although reported on 8 Jan, the totals seem from the start of the year, so more should be done by inauguration day).

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
maybe the best news of the day. hope it’s retro active
was this a law he signed or and EO?
satire... well.. sorry ..it woulda been great and something he might do,.
you’ve done an awesome job of keeping us updated on the border wall construction, beaubo.
I hope you get 4 more years to see it through to completion.
Another straw man. The old “barrier” was as effective as a strainer to hold water in. Does the media ever tell the truth?
Obviously, every mile of new border “wall” is new. Whether it replaced nothing or ineffective old fencing is immaterial.
(I was specifically commenting on the title.)

Well can the incoming get a law reversing that?
Pretty much all of it.
Much of what was replaced was not a barrier to pedestrian traffic and did not help the Border Patrol.
As much as the wall is important a well connected integrated road system s important. How much road work was done? Used to be that if you missed a turn it might be a 15 mile back track to get on the right feeder road.
