WATCH: The U.S. southern border wall (and its gaps)

A helicopter trip with border officials in Arizona is the clearest way to see how much new border wall was built during Donald Trump’s last months in office.

CBP Agent: This was all within the last four months, actually.

CBP Agent: They were working three shifts, 24/7.

CBP Agent: The speed that they put the wall up was absolutely amazing.

By air is also the best way to see a startling sight: hundreds of security gaps in the wall where gates were about to be installed

CBP Agent: you see that gap right back there.

but are now left wide open to drug and human trafficking.

CBP Agent: So there's another gap coming up here at the right side right now.

Sharyl (on-camera) : The Biden administration executive orders have had an immediate impact in the field. Work here on the new 30-foot-tall border wall literally stopped overnight.

Sheriff Mark Dannels: This was a 24-hour operation. This thing was lit up. You couldn't tell it was day or night out here. And people were coming and going fencing, cranes, big, huge equipment.

Sharyl: To build the wall?

Dannels: To build the wall. It's all gone.

Cochise County, Arizona Sheriff Mark Dannels is on the Homeland Security Advisory Council and is Border Security Chairman of the National Sheriffs Association.

Dannels: They just walked away from it, just walked away.

He’s showing us one of the giant work sites along the border that was instantly abandoned upon President Biden’s executive order.

Dannels: They haven't filled the six foot trenches, they left the equipment out there, they left the wood out there. It's just halted. And you can see around, it's a ghost town. The only thing moving out here is the cartels.

It’s criminal to not finish it.

But then again it was criminal to refuse to build it after promising one since 1986.

We had to elect an outsider to get it this far and both parties cooperated to cheat him out so he couldn’t finish it.

Biden allowing Covid positive illegals to be released on this nation is similar to Cuomo sending Covid positive patients to nursing homes. He doesn’t care how many American citizens it kills.

Those gaps are going to get larger and larger as biden (harris) [0bama]{pelosi} order the new Trump parts be cannibalized to provide more secure protection for the US Capitol and Whitehouse, and Democrat run State Capitols and Governor’s Mansions.

Biden’s 60 day moratorium on border wall construction is up next week.

I don’t think there is much doubt that they will refuse to complete any more - they have probably just be scrambling to see how they could divert the money to their causes, into their pockets, and up Hunter’s crack pipe.

and where are the republicans? Why haven't they taken this to court like the dems would? Where's the conservative judge to write an order blocking this EO like activist leftist judges did to most all of Trump's executive orders?

Like the old saying goes, dems are lawless and conservatives are ball-less.
