Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf hyped the administration's efforts to construct hundreds of miles of wall along the US-Mexico border while lavishing praise on President Trump less than a week before Election Day

Washington Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, flanked by several senior department officials, hyped the administration's efforts to construct hundreds of miles of wall along the US-Mexico border while lavishing praise on President Donald Trump less than a week before Election Day.

Thursday's news conference in McAllen, Texas, is the latest in a string of media events in which Department of Homeland Security officials have touted the administration's immigration policies as successes and delivered veiled criticisms of the Biden campaign's proposals. RELATED: Trump vs. Biden on immigration: Here's how their stances compareJust last week, Wolf traveled to Arizona, where he also delivered a full-throated defense of Trump's immigration record.

Under the Trump administration, $15 billion has been set aside for wall construction, including appropriated congressional funds, as well as repurposed Department of Defense funds. Despite a slew of legal challenges, the administration has been able to build roughly 400 miles of barrier at an unusually rapid pace and anticipates constructing 50 more before the end of the year.Wolf addressed the political controversy over the wall on Thursday.
