Trump’s ‘Impenetrable’ Border Wall Was An Expensive Failure

Fresno CA

Description

Former President Donald Trump promised his supporters an “impenetrable” border wall between the United States and Mexico. Instead, the $15 billion wall was reportedly breached thousands of times in the areas where it was completed, and the smugglers who cut through it were able to do so with cheap power tools available in retail stores. According to The Washington Post, unpublished data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection obtained via the Freedom of Information Act found that Mexican smugglers cut through the wall 3,272 times over three years. In some cases, they replaced the areas they cut with a tinted putty, essentially creating their own secret passages.
