Only 35 miles of the good double barriers were completed and 700 miles were supposed to be the same but weren't. Whatever else was erected was flimsy fencing that could be breached and this is what Trump wants fixed.
What was ultimately approved, after the amendment, is what was built. Period.

Doesn't matter. What we have now is mostly mere fencing and that needs to be fixed. Why do you and yours oppose that? Trump also wants an additional 300 miles built. a total of good barriers on 1,000 miles of our border. The rest is nearly impassable terrain.
For the money spent on illegals otherwise, view the wall as an INVESTMENT.
Think about it, all the liberal states that extend them free healthcare, food stamps, and assisted housing at the tax payers expense while they do not work or work under the table, pay no taxes, and do not contribute anything back to the system. Even CBP merely detaining, processing, and returning those caught crossing the border illegally costs millions if not billions annually.
As a bonus, reducing the drug smuggling, sex trade, crime, murder, theft, and everything else that happens along our southern border, is PRICELESS.
To those so against the wall, try putting yourself in someone else's shoes. You, your loved one, relative, or friend that would still be here if their life hadn't been taken by someone who shouldn't have been here.
Still wanna argue? Why, and who are you, if you want to discount all that I've touched on above?

End the war on drugs, end welfare,abolish govt schools, abolish victimless crimes and let property owners manage their own borders.
You're proposing another boondoggle to protect the other boondoggles.

I don't oppose it, necessarily. I'm not a fan of stealing money from DoD's civil engineering projects to do it, though.
Simply trying to separate truth from hyperbole, for the most part.
