One of the great mysteries of the past year or so is why righties continually claim that Donald is succeeding in building the wall.

It's just not true:

Trump administration can't say when first section of new wall will be built

Quote:
•So far in Trump's presidency, more than 60 miles of existing barriers and fences have been replaced with new wall, according to a Department of Homeland Security official.
•DHS has been referring to replacement wall as "new," but to date, not a single mile of wall has been built where no barrier previously existed. The official did not provide an answer when asked when the first section of "new" wall would be built.

I agree with you that that Mexican wall is NOT going to be built. It has been said that a lot of level headed Rationalists talked Donald Trump out of that Mexican Wall thing and he realized how horribly stupid that idea was.

Saying that a wall will not work and wanting open borders is what is stupid. Funny how walls work where we already have them. Funny how walls work around the Gaza Strip. Look at who is against it and how the same people care more about illegal aliens at the border than problems in our cities here.
The President is a fink.

Only the most extremist people are totally against any secure barriers. I saw Simon and Garfunkel in Central park, and half a million people listening to soft rock can do a lot of damage, simply because they are half a million people. AFAIK there is only about a dozen people who want "open borders".

I think roughly 70-100 miles of barriers were constructed under the Clinton administration, covering the border urban areas in San Diego/Tijuana, Mexicali, El Paso/Juarez, and Laredo/Nuevo Laredo.

In October 2006 George W. Bush signed the Secure Fence Act into law. It sailed through Congress with big bipartisan majorities. Among the Democratic senators voting in favour were Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Over the next four years the law added 548 miles of fencing along the border with Mexico—five times the previous length—built at an over-budget cost of $2.3bn.

From today:

SANTA TERESA, N.M. — The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol has released drone video of 60 miles of new border wall constructed since 2017.

CBP

@CBP
Construction crews continue work on the new border wall system along the SW border near San Luis, AZ. In partnership with @USACEHQ, CBP has constructed over 60 miles of new border wall system along the SW border since 2017 and expects to complete 450 miles by the end of 2020.

Looks like someone didn’t read the original article/post:
