New Homeland Security Chief vows to finish 500 miles of Trump's border wall by 2020 deadline
President Trump promised during his campaign to “build the wall.” But nearly three years later, the only new barrier erected along the 1,900-mile southwestern border stretches just 32 feet.
“We must secure the border,” he said. “President Trump has been clear. To do this, we must build a border wall and we are on track to do that.”Whether the government meets that goal depends in large part on what counts as new construction. The new 32-foot section is part of an eight-mile stretch in Donna that is expected to cost $167 million. Construction was slated to start in February but was delayed until October.
“They are fudging to please Trump,” Nicol said of Wolf’s assurances that the government will meet the president’s deadline. “They put out a contract, but they put out a contract on land they don’t actually own.”
