Well:

California/Mexico border is 137 miles

New Mexico/Mexico border is 210 miles

Arizona/Mexico border is 389 miles

Texas/Mexico border is 1259 miles

Total length of US/Mexico border is 1954 miles.

Unsure precisely how much of this new bollard type wall has been installed. Some 18 feet. Some 30 feet.

I looked to see where the Secretary of Defense authorized new barrier, and the list is at the end of his memo, found here: https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000016c-f94d-dc65-af6f-fbcfc03c0000

This is mostly rural barrier, except around Andrade/Yuma, Calexico and Tecate.

Arizona - 68 more miles (31 is secondary barrier on Goldwater Range)
California - 20 more miles (Calexico and Tecate get secondary barrier, San Diego’s barriers extend about two miles further East, into the mountains)
New Mexico - 30 more miles
Texas - 52 miles North from outside of Laredo

Arizona is basically getting continuous wall all the way from California to the Western edge of the Tohono O’odham Reservation, with 31 miles of double barrier in the Air Force’s Barry Goldwater Range. Tohono O’odham is getting complete persistent surveillance coverage by Integrated Fixed Towers (AKA “Virtual Wall”), and about 20 miles of New barrier picks up on the East of Tohono O’odham (Sasabe). 63 miles were recently started in Arizona, with separate DoD (Counter-Narcotics) funds.

The 46 miles going into New Mexico from El Paso is getting 13 miles longer, extending 33 miles West of the Columbus Port of Entry. Also three miles on either side of Antelope Wells POE, and about five more miles near the Arizona border. About 80 miles out of New Mexico’s 180 mile border.

52 miles, running North from outside of Laredo, Texas.

Laredo is the biggest city on the border without significant barrier, and likely to catch the diverted flows from the Rio Grade Valley barrier building already announced. I guess they anticipate that Laredo itself, and its Southern Flank toward Falcon Lake will be funded in the 2020 appropriation.

Texas really needs a couple of hundred more miles through Laredo Eagle pass and Del Rio.
