NEW SECTION OF WALL COMPLETED WHOPPING 47 DAYS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE & TRUMP HAS THE VIDEO

President Donald Trump has been under heavy fire from all sides over the southern border wall. He has been criticized for not doing enough [3], for signing a bad bill [4] and for declaring a national emergency [5] to pay for the barrier.

But in typical Trump fashion, the businessman with building experience has been working hard to keep his campaign promise about building the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

So while the hits have been coming, construction has been taking place along the border.

As you might expect when the president is more of a builder than a bureaucrat, the work on one section in New Mexico was completed early.

While this construction being finished 47 days ahead of schedule should leave some eating crow, not everyone eased up on the attacks against the president and the wall.

A common theme has been the semantics of the thing.

In his tweet, Trump called what was built a “wall.” To some, it is a “fence” or “steel slats.” Others have taken to calling the border security construction a “barrier” instead of a “wall” now.

Whatever name it is given, the purpose remains the same.

Trump addressed the question of building materials late last year.

So while some are upset about various aspects of the wall and its funding, Trump is, in fact, working to get the border secured.

Does it really matter what it looks like if it works? This speedy construction in New Mexico raises new hope.

The faster the barrier can be completed, the better for national security.

Politifact is very interesting when you follow the money and connect the dots. Politifact is owned by the Poynter Institute. The Poynter Institute is supported by donations from liberal billionaires such as board member and billionaire Craig Newmark. Newmark has donated to the presidential campaign of Democratic Senator and former United States Secretary of State John Kerry. He also supported former President Barack Obama. In 2015, Variety reported that he contributed to the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton. My guess is that Craig Newmark did not and does not support President Trump and I'm willing to bet Politifact does not favor Trump either.
Thirty feet high and made of steel and concrete? It sure looks like a wall to me.

That area is west of El Paso, but the article is only partially true, there has been a tall "fence" for quite some time. One of those fences that look like tall I beams.

That's right dog. The old fence was removed and replaced with the steel/concrete bollard wall.

There was a correction to the original article that was posted. This is part of the correction, the rest is in the article. They only removed some of the vehicle barriers, not the original wall like the upright beams.

Quote:CORRECTION: Feb. 25, 2019: The headline of this article, “New Section of Wall Completed Whopping 47 Days Ahead of Schedule & Trump Has the Video,” seemed to imply that a wall had been built along a section of border where no barrier had existed before. That implication is incorrect, and our article did little to clarify the matter, essentially taking President Trump’s tweet as our only source, in violation of The Western Journal’s Editorial Standards.
We have added additional clarifying information to the article, and apologize for any confusion we may have caused.
 
That's right dog, the new bollard wall replaced the old fence in some areas where the fence existed. I referenced a few sources not only the article you are referring to.
 
Let's see, Clarence referenced 7 different sources in his original post, and the opposition referenced one (1) source that is funded by "left wingnuts."
Guess I'll try and guess which opinion is more well informed.
