Look at the numbers, there’s only about 50 miles of new wall, the rest was refurbishing old.

If you consider replacing a 6 foot wooden or wire fence with a 30 foot steel wall with built in security features, a refurbishment, then you are correct.

They put up ~460 miles of new Trump wall. They didn't "refurbish" anything. Useless barricades and fences were replaced.

DeSantis is repeating a lie.

You don’t call it refurbishing when you replace a chain strung between posts with a steel bollard and concrete fence.
One you can limbo under, the other is a much different proposition. When you gaslight you lose all credibility.

Were you better off under Obama than you were Trump? Were you better off under Trump than Obama? Are you better off under Biden than you were under Trump?

Okay, genius, can you explain why the engneers woould want to build a new wall to replace one that was entirely satisfactory and doing the job?

In case you don’t know, the walls that were replaced were only markers that informed the illegals when they entered the United States.
