The 100th mile has been completed on the new border wall that President Trump promised as part of his campaign, according to the White House

This new border wall will consist of a total of 885 miles that will be complete by 2022. The latest push comes after the U.S. Court of Appeals reversed an earlier decision by the El Paso Federal District Court. This $7.2 billion from the Department of Defense is coming from the counter drug programs at $3.5 billion. Another $3.7 billion will be added from military construction funding. The new total of border wall funding has now reached $18.4 billion.

Jared Kushner has been appointed by President Trump to complete an additional 450 miles of border wall by the end of 2020. Customs and Border Patrol officials have, on occasion, reported their average completion rate is constructing one mile of border wall per day.
