Border Wall Construction Breaks Ground In South Donna – 71 Miles Completed So Far – 509 Miles By 2020 Election


9 Oct 19 ~ By Jim Hoft
So far 71-89 miles of construction have been completed. 509 miles are slated for completion by next November.
That’s 509 miles of border wall completed without ONE SINGLE DEMOCRAT VOTE! A new website Trump Wall Construction - Track the Status of Trump's Border Wall! went live recently with information on the current progress of the Trump Border Wall.
The website includes an interactive map that has information on planning and current work in progress of the prominent sectors of the border wall.

Comment:
The official count was 66 miles two months ago. 17 crews are completing a combined one mile of border Wall a day. Seems to me the wall should be closer to 100 to 120 miles.
While the self flagellating Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Leftists have abandoned the "Wall" in preference to impeaching president Trump, he has quietly been keeping his promise to build the wall and slow illegal immigration into America.

Don’t worry the next progressive democrat that is elected will tear it down.

You know, Trump admitted the building of the wall is a stunt to get himself reelected. He admitted the wall itself is not much of a barrier.
 
The wall is now a non-issue.

When the Dems retake the government, they will tear down any existing walls.

The matter has been settled for all intents and purposes: Anyone who wants to come to this country is welcome.

The consequences will become apparent by the year 2100. But, of course, it will be too late.
 
Jim Hoft? Can't find a reputable source?

They're hoping it will be after Jan 2025. If they continue their attacks it may a lot longer before they're in power again....

Any word on dealing with the American traitors that hire them?

Or do they still.donate too much money to Republican for that to ever happen.

But hey, trump needs his monument. And that's what's really important.

Perhaps you've forgotten that the main subject during the 2016 election. The icing on the cake is to complete as much as he can before November 2020. Was it a stunt or a promise to the people kept?

Trump wall
Trump wall - Wikipedia
The Trump wall, commonly referred to as just "the wall", is a colloquial name for a proposed expansion of the Mexico–United States barrier during the U.S. presidency of Donald Trump. Throughout his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump called for the construction of a much larger border wall, claiming that if elected, he would "build the wall and make Mexico pay for it." At the time, President of Mexico …
 
Didn't Obama just do that as he left office? They're in Chicago and now in Martha's Vineyard....

Don’t understand. Trump’s obsession about the wall is on part Pharaoh, one part Ozymandias, a monument to his ego that has little to do with the problem he claims to address. “Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.”

Indeed. I too stand in awe at his “unmatched wisdom” and “stable genius.”

Meanwhile #44 had an obsession with his Phone and Pen to skirt around Congress and the Constitution. Example DACA.... Your hate for Trump and those that elected him is duly noted, while your ideological obedience is to a messiah has been found to have feet of clay....

Border wall construction advances in South Texas




Border wall construction advances in South Texas - Brownsville Herald: Local News
October 23, 2019 | Associated Press

(AP) — Work crews in South Texas are laying steel along the U.S.-Mexico border in preparation for the installation of new segments of border wall. The U.S. Border Patrol said workers were installing steel rebar at a site south of Donna. The rebar will reinforce concrete panels that will in turn be topped with 18-foot steel bollards. Crews will also clear vegetation 150 feet in front of the wall. Environmental advocates and opponents of the wall have warned that construction will destroy critical habitat and require the seizure of land from potentially hundreds of people in South Texas.
The Border Patrol says a wall will deter drug and human smuggling. The ongoing construction was funded by Congress last year.

If Walls don't work, why does the Pope have a 30 foot wall around the Vatican?

FACT CHECK: Did Hungary Reduce Illegal Immigration By 99%
https://checkyourfact.com/2018/10/28/fact-check-hungary-99-percent-border-wall/
Oct 28, 2018 · Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk claimed on Twitter that illegal immigration in Hungary decreased by 99 percent after the country built a border wall. Did you know: Hungary built a wall and illegal immigration collapsed by 99%. Illegal immigration went from 391,000 in 2015, to 18,236 in 2016, to just 1,184 in 2017.


Yet the wall haters are still screaming that the sky is falling.

The consequences will become apparent well before the 2100.

The Hungary border wall is 325 miles long.

The US/Mexico border is 1,933 miles long and has completely different landscape. Also there is the tricky part about taking American landowner's property from them which the fence act from 2006 still has active court cases fighting it.

Not comparable.

he Great Wall of China. The official length of all the sections of the Great Wall in all dynasties is 21,196 km (13,170 mi). Today, only a few hundred kilometers of original wall are left for you to see. But it worked and was effective for centuries.....

What might have worked in China centuries ago isn't feasible in this day and age and for our border.

As someone you look up to once said:

The Berlin Wall was effective at keeping Eastern Germans from crossing into Western Germany. Because it wasn’t just a wall, but it was constantly manned and patrolled by soldiers with the order to shoot anybody who tried to cross the border to West Berlin. There were 5075 successful escapes between 1961 and 1989, 574 of whom were deserting guard soldiers. The estimated number of fatal escape attempts is 138. There is a number of 75,000 that were caught, but that is about the whole border - I don’t have a number for Berlin alone. Also for all of the border, roughly two-thirds to three quarters of the escape attempts weren’t successful. The total length of the Berlin Wall was 96 miles.
Israel cut its illegal immigration rate by "99 percent" by constructing border walls totaling 435 miles has been more than 90% effective.
Then there's the 2,500 mile East Indian border wall around Bangladesh.

Indeed, anyone that is right of center and not a dyed in the wool Leftist like Jim Acosta is considered dumb. Eh?
