re: Small boy tells Trump at Easter Egg event: 'Keep building the wall'

President Donald Trump has boasted in the past that '[w]e have already built large new sections' during his time in the White House. 
Border barriers erected between the U.S. and Mexico since Inauguration Day 2017 have consisted of supplements to existing walls and replacements for outmoded or decreipt barriers.


But '[t]he first new wall project, where no barrier currently exists, is anticipated to start in April,' CBP spokesman Roger Maier said in an email.

He identified Hidalgo County as the construction project's location, a border zone along a meandering 50-mile stretch of the Rio Grande.
CBP said last year that it was 'designing and constructing approximately 25 miles of levee wall system' in that county, whose anchor is the the border city of McAllen.

Trump really hasn't built any new wall sections. He was supposed to do that in February, didn't happen. Now it's supposed to happen this month, haven't heard anything about it.

TBH, I have very little faith in the wall at this point. It's been 2 years, and we are looking at 800k to 1 million illegal aliens crossing this year, and the construction going now is fencing and vehicle barriers approved by past presidents, long ago.

Of course, if people keep pretending he's doing great on his signature promises when he isn't, he has no real incentive to pursue this.

Exactly.


We desperately need a wall and he’s simply not delivering.

Look I’ll vote for Trump all day over the alternative but it’s amazing to me that he’s getting a pass on the wall.

Ann is that you? Calm down sweetheart, it’s going to be okay. If no new wall sections are built by the end of Trumps term, I’ll be right there with you typing out my disgust on the internet.
