    "
    The Trump administration say they've completed more than 400 miles of border wall since then.


    It's 452 miles (727 km) in total, according to the latest US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) information (4 January 2021).

    However, only 80 miles of new barriers have been built where there were none before - that includes 47 miles of primary wall, and 33 miles of secondary wall built to reinforce the initial barrier.

    The vast majority of the 452 miles is replacing existing structures at the border that had been built by previous US administrations.

    President Trump has argued that this should be regarded as new wall, because it's replacing what he called "old and worthless barriers.""

    Curious if you thought you had a point?

    I'm a lefty and I think that at least some processing of illegal immigrants on the Mexican side is a good idea. I also think any US administration has the obligation to make sure that, within their best and reasonable ability, the process is done humanely.

    How many have they simply let go into the US with no Covid testing?

    Joe has flung the doors open and welcomes Covid Positive immigrants. The wait in Mexico was a good policy, Joe tried to get rid of it and got his nose rubbed in the dirt.

    He built 500 miles with Democrats kicking and screaming all the way. Most all materials were purchased and delivered. What are you talking about?

    It certainly counters all the claims about trump builing a wall. Let alone bannon getting caught for fraud with his organization.

    That said, i agree with pushing them back to mex, we need to work with mex to help stem the tide.
