The key takeaway
Before Trump: ~654 miles already existed
During his first term:~458 miles built
BUT only ~85 miles were actually new coverage
Today:~700+ miles of border has barriers totalThe US/Mexico border is 2000 miles long, so Biden is about 1350/2000 open border, Trump is about 1300/2000 open border. Do you see the significant difference between these two?
Most of Trump's claim was painting the wall, and replacing ancient fence post with an easily climbable wall.
In Texas, Trump is trying to build a wall on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande, which essentially cedes ownership of the river to Mexico.
