Ha ha ha.....why did He have to do an end around congress to come up with funding?
I'll take spineless Republicans for $800.
Border walls do not keep people out.Border walls work, idiot.
DEPLOYED:
As of October 23, 2020, construction of the wall system breaks down as follows:
Bottom line: The Trump administration is well on its way to meet the goal of having 450 miles of new border wall system deployed by December 31, 2020.
- FUNDED: 738 miles
- COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION: 386 miles
- UNDER CONSTRUCTION: 195 miles
- PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE: 157 miles
EFFECTIVE – DISRUPTING CRIMINALS AND SMUGGLERS
The results speak for themselves: illegal drug, border crossings, and human smuggling activities have decreased in areas where barriers are deployed. For example:
San Diego Sector:
Yuma Sector:
- In one short 12 mile section in the San Diego Sector, the wall reduced CBP manpower requirements by 150 agents every 24 hours. That is approximately a $28 million return on investment per year in salaries and benefits. These agents were redeployed to fill resource gaps in other areas of the border -- further improving our security.
- CBP’s San Diego Field Office continues to be a significant source of narcotics seizures. From FY 19 to FY 20, seizures of fentanyl, marijuana, and methamphetamine all increased, with meth seizures jumping at alarming rates in the past several years – demonstrating that the border wall is forcing drug smugglers to where we are best prepared to catch them – our ports of entry.
RGV Sector:
- Illegal entries in areas with new border wall system plummeted over 87% in FY 20 compared to FY 19.
- In FY 19, CBP deployed a temporary barrier, which it has replaced with a permanent system, at the Sanchez Canal, which resulted in illegal entries decreasing in this area by more than 1,000 per month.
- In FY 19, in areas of older existing border fencing or barriers, Yuma Sector apprehended 12 large groups (over a 100 persons) compared to zero large groups in FY 20 with new border wall system.
- Family Unit entries have decreased over 95%
- FY 19: 51,961 vs. FY 20: 2,940
El Paso Sector:
- In a section of RGV (Zone 1) apprehensions have decreased since the construction of the border wall system. This is a location that has never had any border infrastructure.
- CBP has seen 79% decrease in apprehensions in this area (Zone 1) since the completion of border wall system.
- CBP has seen a 26% decrease in narcotics seizures since the completion of border wall system in this area.
- In another section of RGV, prior to construction of the border wall system it was common to see illegal aliens running across a heavily traveled road, putting themselves and members of the community at risk.
- Smugglers are now forced to take their groups further west into areas that are less dense with brush and easier for CBP surveillance cameras to detect illicit activity.
- El Paso Sector has experienced a significant reduction in drug and smuggling activities in areas where the new border wall system was built.
- Most notably, in Zones 14 and 15 of the Santa Teresa (STN) AOR where apprehensions have decreased by 60% and 81% respectively when comparing the last half of fiscal year FY 20 to the first half of FY 20.
- El Paso Station has experienced similar results from the new border wall in Zones 20 – 23, with a reduction in apprehensions of 70% during the same timeframe.

Effective physical infrastructure works to secure our Southwest Border. Since the U.S. Border Patrol began constructing border barriers nearly 30 years ago, these barriers have proved to be a critical component in gaining operational control of the border.www.dhs.gov

1. You type lies I linked to the truth.
usafacts.org
Look leftwinger, as a liberal-Socialist I have some pretty right-wing opinions on a few things.
They funnel them to other ports of entry, decreasing the mass insanity of an open border along its entirety.
A wall by itself will not stop the invasionBorder walls do not keep people out.
There are literally dozens of articles, some from conservative think tanks that state this.
Our focus should be on providing a path to citizenship (oddly, proposed under Reagan first) for the ones we want to keep, and deporting the undesirables (Biden's been doing a pretty good job of that).
Also, restoring the speed and efficiency of the asylum process
This article and others like it...are still relevant, Squishy. Oh..and stop spamming in bold.
The Wall: The real costs of a barrier between the United States and Mexico
In her Brookings Essay, "The Wall," Brookings Senior Fellow Vanda Felbab-Brown explains the true costs of building a barrier on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Zero idea how your three original points became five.1. You type lies I linked to the truth.
2. Again, I linked to the truth and you type lies.
3. Again, I link to the truth, you can't refute it.

The US has reported nearly 11 million unauthorized border encounters between October 2019 and June 2024.
4. Trump had the border solved. Remain in Mexico until your hearing date.
5. Walls work, ask the CBP.
You are welcome. 10,000 is a pretty good crowd huh?
Why would I ask a convicted felon.
They aren't the most credible people.
