100 miles of Donald Trump’s new border wall system has gone up.
.@CBP & @USACEHQ have built more than 100 miles of new border wall system. @POTUS is delivering on his promise—giving the experts on the ground, Border Patrol agents, what they’ve asked for. The border wall system is critical for operational control of our border. pic.twitter.com/jchEaOYiL5

It sounds as if they’ll be able to get around 400 miles completed by the end of 2020.
Say what you want about this border wall system, but I’d rather have it than not have it. It is obviously much more difficult for people to scale barriers that are 30 feet tall than that stupid ass shit they previously had up. Those old landing mat barriers were a joke and didn’t stop anybody from crossing.
The new border wall system has definitely resulted in a substantial drop in illegal crossings.
The powerful Trump Wall is replacing porous, useless and ineffective barriers in the high traffic areas requested by Border Patrol. Illegal crossing are dropping as more and more Wall is being completed! #BuildingTheWall pic.twitter.com/2kdHNSMM04

I’ll give the orange man some credit on this.
Let’s hope construction continues. It sounds like things are progressing nicely.
