CBP has constructed over 60 miles of new border wall system along the SW border since 2017 and expects to complete 450 miles by the end of 2020,” the Border Patrol said in a post on Twitter.
The previous wall in the area was 10 feet high, but the CBP said it “failed to impede and deny illegal entries.”Construction crews continue work on the new border wall system along the SW border near San Luis, AZ.
