Trump’s New Border ‘Wall’ Resembles Fence Obama Constructed That Illegal Aliens Recently Hopped Over

A new fencing project underway by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the United States-Mexico border is being touted by President Trump’s administration as his border “wall.”


The barrier going up in the Santa Teresa, New Mexico, is similar to that of the fencing that was constructed in Sunland Park, New Mexico, under former President Obama. The slight difference between the two fences? Height.


A DHS official told Breitbart News that the Santa Teresa border fence, to be constructed this year, will stand 30 feet tall. In some areas, though, the border fence will range between 18 feet to 30 feet tall.

Meanwhile, the Sunland Park border fence project—which started under Obama and was completed under Trump—stands at about 20 feet tall, but is, for the most part, the same type of bollard-style fence.

Here are photos of Trump’s new border fence set to go up in Santa Teresa, New Mexico:

In 2013, Breitbart News noted how the only border fence in Sunland Park was a chain link fence. That fence was replaced by the Obama administration, which began building the bollard style fence in the last year of his presidency. The project was ultimately finished in mid-2017 under Trump.


Most recently, illegal aliens were photographed jumping over a portion of the Sunland Park border fence, crossing onto American soil. The photographs, as Breitbart News reported, went viral online.


Here, illegal aliens can be seen crossing the bollard border fence just last week:

The Trump administration has made headway with building new border fences without the help of the Republican-controlled Congress. For example, DHS is underway with a project in Calexico, California, building new bollard fencing in the region to stop illegal immigration.

Meanwhile, the Republican-controlled Congress has stood with Democrats in the way of Trump’s vision for a larger border wall project made from highly effective wall prototypes that he visited last month.

The recent spending bill that congressional Republicans and Democrats sent to Trump, and he signed, actually bars the administration from building a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico using the prototype walls, Breitbart News reported.

Instead, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Republican leadership tied the Trump administration’s hands on the border, leaving them forced to construct only about 33 new miles of border fence using fencing that has been used by DHS in the past, like the bollard style fencing being erected in New Mexico.

While dealing with an uncooperative Republican leadership, the Trump administration has seen border-crossings tick back up to Obama era levels.

Last month, the Trump administration saw a more than 200 percent increase in illegal immigration when comparing March 2017 to March 2018. Trump was warned this month by allies that his base of supporters is increasingly fed up with a lack progress on ending illegal immigration.

Taking matters into his own hands, Trump has called for 2,000 to 4,000 National Guard troops to be sent to the U.S.-Mexico border to shore up Border Patrol agents so that illegal aliens can be more effectively arrested, detained, and deported.

You can't have the bar they stand on. Look to the left where there is no bar, so who put the bars there? No standing bars for climbers, thank you. Get a crew over there and torch those bars off. I don't think the new ones will have standing bars anywhere. I sure hope not anyway. Some crook put those bars on there to help the cartels. The corruption in this illegal immigration is mind-blowing. Maybe the cartels welded those bars in there.

Yep, Trump needs to quit attempting to pass this off as part of 'his' wall. This is not the 30' wall he promised us. In defense of Trump though, the U.S. Congress made it a point to stop Trump from building the wall. Trump needs to harp on that fact, not try to fool us into believing he's building the wall he promised us ...... we're too smart for that!

Need a big roller on top, grease it up, rolls one-way...back to Mexico.

And I do not want to pay for ANY medical care if they fall on our side.

Now start a policy where the Mexican EMT's have to pick them up!

I'd electrify it.

Legislation to build a wall would do more to end human trafficking in the U.S. than any bill you have written.

@SpeakerRyan


Perpetrators of sex trafficking have used bad actor websites like Backpage to expand their reach. Pleased to see legislation Congress passed to help authorities crack down on these websites start to take effect. (link: https://spkrryan.us/2v16zLA) spkrryan.us/2v16zLA

1. Trump Admin says “updating or building” existing fencing is “the Wall.”2. Trump Admin says “the Wall” construction will begin in New Mexico.3. Obama was building same fencing in NM during final months of presidency.4. This means Trump is finishing the wall Obama started.

We need a president to run on the issue of ending the anchor baby policy! (That's all it is: a govt policy, not a law or S. Ct ruling.)

Unfortunately, they need more...or less. Even with only vertical bars, just like a tree climber, if they can loop a rope through and around the bars, they can shimmy up the wall. A solid wall prevents that. Then, as Beezer said, the big rolled pipe top is needed to prevent the use of grappling hooks. Electrifying is also a nice touch, although easily insulated against.

Nothing is perfect. If they can't tunnel under it, they can catapult over it. But any/all of these measures makes it extremely difficult for breaches. I don't think there are that many skilled high wall climbers there. And with these and sensors, it can create more time to Border Patrol to arrive on scene.

I totally agree. All President Trump has to do is sign an executive order stating that only children with at least one American parent at birth will be allowed to get automatic citizenship. The other side will sue and the case will go before the Supreme Court. If we win, it will be a GREAT victory! If we lose, nothing will change. I say, "Lets go for it!"

Trump did run on it. Doesn't Ann know that? He talked about it at many of his rallies, not everywhere or all the time, because there would be different current events he would spend his time on at certain locations where these issues were more important than the anchor baby issue to those voters. But Trump supports the anchor baby legislation sitting in Congress and if Congress passes it, he'll sign it in a heartbeat.
