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.

Have you been on the Mexican border? I have. There are sections with simply Barbwire, sections with practically nothing, sections with some form of a fence or wall. Trump came in promising to build a wall, to get Mexico to pay for it he had opportunities to negotiate a deal with Congress, which we wouldn’t have liked, but he could’ve gotten the wall built. The end of his term saw less than 500 miles built most of it just fixing existing wall. Sorry that doesn’t work is 1500 miles that are in need of securing. The fact that he didn’t finish what he promised, made it easy for Biden to open the border which Trump left open. And the idea that Trump would do different in a second term with regards to the border is ludicrous. Whether DeSantis or someone else can accomplish something, we can only hope.
