This is a big deal folks and you’ll notice they are building at a rate of about 3 miles per week, which is the fastest they’ve built since the Wall construction started! If you are doing the math, you’ll realize they need to get that rate up to about 7 miles per week to complete their goal of 500 miles before the end of 2020.

Here's a breakdown of where the border funding stood before the 2020 budget.

2017 DHS Budget: $294 million to build 40 miles

2018 DHS Budget: $1.375 billion to build 80 miles

2019 DHS Budget: $1.375 billion to build 55 miles

2019 Treasury Forfeiture: $601 million to build 30 miles

2019 Counter-Drug Program: $2.5 billion to build 129 miles

2019 MilCon funds (National Emergency): $3.6 billion to build 175 miles

And now with the 2020 budget, it looks like they could have about $4.5B more to use:

2020 DHS Budget: $1.375 billion

2020 Treasury Forfeiture: $600 million

2020 Counter-Drug Program: $2.5 billion.

That brings the total to $14.3 billion, which means the wall could potentially be fully funded at this point!!
