Assuming what you've posted were correct (which it isn't) why is building more fence wrong when we've already funded and built 99.5% of 652 miles of it already? What's the difference?
Wall, fence, barrier, whatever. Secure it! Alligator pits, high voltage, lasers, whatever it takes. The sieve that it is now makes our nations security the laughing stock of the world.
It's like saying the Dept. of Education thinks DeVos is a good thing....lolol.
I can't even.
When Obama was POTUS and DHS recommended more fencing you were ok with it. When Trump took office and DHS recommends more fencing you oppose it... I think I see where this is going.

The Pantagon loses their credibility with this kind of corruption. They request tax payer money, and then they they allow it to be spend on the presidents pet projects.
Going forward, the lawmakers need to tighten the purse strings, and make sure government agencies cannot donate money to anyones pet projects.
Even Politifact says it's mostly false. It clearly explains why it's false.

DHS reports there are currently 36.3 miles of double-layered fencing, the kind with enough gap that you can drive a vehicle between the layers. But the majority of the fencing erected has been vehicle barriers, which are designed to stop vehicles rather than people (see here), and single-layer pedestrian fencing (see here). The design specifications vary depending on geography and climate characteristics, but according to the Customs and Border Patrol website, it includes "post on rail" steel set in concrete; steel picket-style fence set in concrete; vehicle bollards similar to those found around federal buildings; "Normandy" vehicle fence consisting of steel beams; and concrete jersey walls with steel mesh.

How does the Department of Defense loose credibility when it works towards defending our nation? Securing our borders isn't a pet project, it wasn't a pet project when Obama spent money on it and it isn't a pet project now.
Congress didn't allocate the money for a wall. Obama divert money for border security or was it budgeted appropriately?
Did Congress allocate the money for Defense? Obama didn't have to divert anything when he built border fencing, democrats and republicans came together to support him doing his job to defend the nation.

It is quite simple: Immigration enforcement is not the duty of the military, and renaming immigration to "invasion" might fool a 5 yr old, but no one older than that.
