The Border Wall: Hundreds of Miles Funded, 5 New Miles Built

It is what it is!

Three and a half years into his presidency, President Donald Trump’s signature campaign to build a border wall has yielded only 5 miles of new barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border. The administration has set aside $15 billion for 738 miles of walls and fencing on the 2,000-mile border, with the money coming from Homeland Security, the Defense Dept. and the Treasury Forfeiture Fund. It has completed 265 miles of replacement and secondary fencing, and 5 miles of walls that previously had no fencing, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection obtained by the Express-News. ~ Silvia Foster-Frau
