    Couldn't get the whole headline in the title but it is: Trump border wall: not a single mile has been built where no previous barrier existed.

    That's right, not a single mile of new wall has been built.

    Link

    Yet this afternoon Trump tweeted: "The Wall is going up very fast despite total Obstruction by Democrats in Congress, and elsewhere!"

    He lied.

    No. New. Wall. Period. None, nada.

    Oh and the Mexicans aren't paying for it.

    I can't hear you over how long and high this new wall is.

    You're the false narrative they're talking about in the video.

    Go get a ladder and show us how easy to breach it is.

    Not a single new mile has been built. They're only replacing what was already slated for replacement. No new sections, not paid for by Mexico.

    Is the fencing new? Yes.

    Have many miles been built? Yes.

    Has Mexico now started to improve their own border enforcement, and agreed to have immigrants housed on their side of the border? Yes.

    Seems clear.



    To Mexico paying for the wall construction.

    The costs might not be directly paid by Mexico, but the last point on Mexico's enforcement, and housing position NOW, sure has helped cut our costs down, and allowed for some of that savings, to be rolled into the wall efforts

    No new wall. Just replacement fencing. Which Mexico isn't paying for.

    No new wall. Nada, zip.

    The sections are new yes?

    The burden on our CBP is lessened yes?

    Everything is a money and word game today anyway.

    On both "Sides"

    Nope, not new. Replacement of existing sections. Not one mile of new wall.

    Not hard to understand I would think but apparently it is.

    Let's try this again since you didn't understand the OP. Here's the point as I made it in the first post:

    "Couldn't get the whole headline in the title but it is: Trump border wall: not a single mile has been built where no previous barrier existed."

    Can you comprehend that? Can't see how it possibly could be dumbed down more for ya.

    Those sections are new constitution yes?
    Really simple to grasp.

    Unless one is a fan of Partisanism.

    LOL!

    Classy.

    Enjoy your fantasy world where politicians speak much truth.

    Honestly, Axios makes their bread and butter with misleading stories.

    Ciao.

    The crap being replaced with a REAL barrier, in many cases, could hardly qualify as any obstacle at all. So yes, a real wall is being built.

    The fake news media of the far right have no objective sources than any new wall has been built on site where a wall had never been built before.

    The wall before was downright pathetic in many places. Wasn't that difficult for people to slip through. It desperately needed an upgrade.

    What I heard on the radio is much of it was designed to stop cars, not people.

    WaPo's triggered too ... Trump's goal is 500 miles by election day and the "resistance" nuisance lawsuits won't stop him from reching it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/immi...e9-a4f3-c081a126de70_story.html?noredirect=on
    Trump hating open border liberals ought to be cheering construction. Maybe if Trump completes the wall, voters won't give him a 2nd term to finish his 2016 mandate to secure the border.

    Nah......Trump's Wall is a joke. He said it would cost (Mexico) $10 - 12 Billion and be up and running in 18 months, because he knows about construction. He's an expert on that as well, you know.

    The bloke's a flake, Team USA. History will tell you soon enough.

    Think I have said this before.....I am not party partisan in US issues. I am outright anti that person, that grub Trump, an accused paedophile and former close mate of Epstein, just your average poozie grabbing good USA bloke who is POTUS, right? You all do that, don't you? Nah.
