As the Senate-Congressional conferees kick-off their negotiations, the MSM is still harping on the political-emotional hysteria and continuing to insinuate that Trump wants a Chinese-like concrete wall that runs the entire expanse of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Very misleading…
Let’s take a step back and put the “demand” in context:
The U.S.-Mexican border is about 2,000 miles long … 1,954 to be precise.
About 700 miles of walls and fencing are already in place (e.g, the wall separating San Diego from Tijuana)
- About 400 miles of the barriers are designed to stop pedestrian traffic
- About 300 miles is “vehicle fencing” which blocks vehicles but allows people on foot to cross easily.

So, what exactly is Trump demanding?
