The Trump administration has not installed a single mile of new wall in a previously fenceless part of the U.S.-Mexico border in the 30 months since President Trump assumed office, despite his campaign promise to construct a “big beautiful wall.” — The Washington Examiner
According to The Washington Examiner, while the Trump administration has replaced over 51-miles of existing border wall fencing, the administration has not actually added any new lengths of wall along the US-Mexico border.
In President Donald Trump's two years in office, the administration, according to a report from the department of Customs and Border Patrol, has installed an average 1.7-miles of barrier per month, none of it in areas that did not previously have a barrier already installed, The Washington Examiner reports.
One reason? Environmental approvals and reviews are more stringent along areas that have yet to receive wall segments.
