Fact Check: Trump gives incomplete border wall update, misstates Biden's immigration plan
President Donald Trump made several claims about U.S. immigration policy during his Republican National Convention speech Thursday night.abcnews.go.com
Trump says US has built 300 miles of border wall
"We have already built 300 miles of border wall -- and we are adding 10 new miles every single week," Trump said Thursday night. "The Wall will soon be complete, and it is working beyond our wildest expectations."
Trump recently traveled to Yuma, Arizona, where he also touted the completion of the 300 miles. But it’s far from a complete fortification of the southwestern boundary line.
The Trump administration has overseen the construction of just over six miles of barrier where none previously existed, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, while the vast majority of those 300 miles Trump is referencing have replaced existing barriers with towering steel structures.
An additional 25 miles of barriers where none previously existed are layered farther from the borderline as a “secondary” layer, according to USACE.
Last month, a federal watchdog found that U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not have a “sound, well-documented” approach to planning border wall construction and failed to consider alternative measures that could have provided better security.
The Democrats are upset that walls are being built instead of the cut up barbed wire fencing. They feel that anyone should be allowed to cross. How else are they going to get cheap drugs and cheap labor.
