Building a border wall was one of President Trump’s signature policies. His administration is constructing new sections of wall as quickly as it can to try to meet his goal of building 450 miles by the end of this year.

Crews blew up boulders to clear a path for wall construction in Guadalupe Canyon, Ariz., on Oct. 5. Contractors are building parts of the wall in areas where illegal border crossings have been relatively low in recent years.

What a travesty. I live 20 minutes from the border. The only people we fear are trump supporters.

This isn’t new wall; in fact, more than 85% is old wall, correct?

How about No. Just no.

But Mexico isn't paying for it & people are digging holes to go under the wall or ladders to go over it.

At who’s expense, not Mexico

We need same North in Argentina, maybe You can sale us The old one

Can’t think of a bigger waste of money.

Of having Mexico pay for it?

Building the 'Wall', 'Fence' whatever one wants to call it, is some thing that is necessary. Entering this country (U.S) is okay....may be even questionable however; play the game that is written....follow the rules. Should you not....your home is that way. ♀️

Has Mexico paid up yet?

Some positive news to share for Republicans.

Where’s the check from Mexico?

Trump Wall..

Good one

WSJ what about Hunter Biden?

White collar criminal 'small government' regime steals Pentagon funds for no-bid contracts to build a useless border wall for segregationist Republicans. Makes sense. 🤔 Trump TrumpIsPathetic

Full stop, save people!

repairing is not building. stop lying

Waste of money.

realDonaldTrump I thought you said that the construction was on on schedule. Oh wait .... you said. Of course it was a lie.

In Texas the wall is being REPLACED (There’s been a wall for years) yards and even miles away from the international boundary. In south Texas US families and land owners have been locked by his wall placing them in no men’s land. Persons will just built a higher ladder

Name a wall that’s managed to keep out invaders? You can’t bc there isn’t one. Diplomacy has stopped more invaders than any silly wall.

Build the Wall

This is one major waste of resources I've seen in a long while

With funds stolen from the military. Funds CONGRESS never approved.

Those walls will fall over in the first wind storm. All his followers have griped about taxes and how Trump has improved things. What about my Tax dollars squandered and reappropriated by Trump?

Good! We need the wall up ASAP!

Walls have been very useful through out history but not so much since the invention of gunpowder. It's the 21st Century it's time to try 21st Century solutions ?

Lies from WSJ.. lol

Correction: His administration is stealing money from vet's pensions and military housing as quickly as they can

If you are still peddling this obvious lie, then you’re in the wrong business, “journalists”

Oh, you mean the symbolism fence we're overpaying for?

Wall is more important to Trump than schools, an actual healthcare plan, maybe wrapping up that ever loving tax audit?

I have to believe that the journal has entered the same category as the newyork times. Outlived its uselessness, not to mention horridly overpriced.

If he is re-elected, the wall will be to keep us in. No one will want to come here.

Getting better all the time.

Walls don't secure borders, policies do.

A taxpayers expense or money taken from homeland security or FEMA or privately funded (Except the money that Manafort stole). Is Mexico paying yet?

I hope that wall doesn't fuck over the tortoises. I feel like we've raped and tortured nature enough, leave the tortoises alone!

Did the wall keep out the virus?

Of course this a priority for Americans right now. ..what a joke

He doesn't have to actually build the wall, he just has to make people think he built the wall.
