Midknight Review -- new and revised: 189 miles of new replacement fencing has been or is currently being built plus Pentagon funding for several hundred miles of additional fencing.

189 miles of new replacement fencing has been or is currently being built plus Pentagon funding for several hundred miles of additional fencing.

So far in Trump's presidency, more than 60 miles of existing barriers and fences have been replaced with new wall, according to a Department of Homeland Security official.

DHS has been referring to replacement wall as "new," but to date, not a single mile of wall has been built where no barrier previously existed. (So what. The replacement wall is nonetheless "new." This 30 foot wall replaces a nominal 6 foot barbwire fence that does nothing to prevent illegal border crossings ~ editor).

DHS is currently replacing 124 miles of fencing with new wall in the El Paso, El Centro and Tucson sectors. In mid-September, the government expects to start building an additional 5 miles in the Yuma sector.

A recent Supreme Court decision has enabled the Trump administration to begin building new wall with Pentagon funds (2.5 billion dollars) through Trump's emergency declaration. Some of that money is now being used on border barrier projects, AP reported.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
