San Diego Officials Say New Wall Is Working, Driving Border Numbers Down


8 views

President Trump’s border wall is working, just ask the men guarding the border in San Diego!

In May 2018, a project to install a new, better border barrier along the California-Mexico border in San Diego started. This project is now complete, and a new project to build new miles onto the border wall began February. An additional 2 miles of border wall have been added so far, but its far from over, as Trump’s end goal for the region is to erect around 500 miles of border wall by the end of 2020.

Although not yet complete, the border wall is already doing WONDERS to curb the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States. Border patrol agents are speaking out to praise the border wall for the drastic change in border numbers.

Last November, before the wall was put up, a trove of immigrants simply trampled over the old landing mat barriers. Now, according to Chief of Border Patrol in San Diego Douglas Harrison,

“It’s incredibly different…I’m able to see the old landing mat right next to the bollard and I’m able to see the old mesh right next to the new bollard and the difference is startling.”

The wall can’t be easily scaled either. As Harrison said,

“It’s an intimidating barrier. I’m an old Army guy, I was in the 101st Airborne and I would not try to cross that.”
