White House struggles to explain Trump’s Texas border wall boast

“Yesterday I gave out 115 miles’ worth of wall, 115 miles in Texas,” Trump said on Christmas Day. “It’s going to be built, hopefully rapidly. I’m going there at the end of January for the start of construction.”

Contracts: 18 miles of wall in Texas so far in Trump administration

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) contract announcements since Trump’s inauguration list four border wall projects in Texas covering a total of 18 miles. Four of those miles involve replacing existing fencing in El Paso.

That includes 14 miles of new levee wall construction in the Rio Grande Valley near McAllen, plus the four miles of steel bollard wall construction in El Paso to replace existing chain link fencing.

CBP officials, who are responsible for awarding border wall contracts along with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, also recently announced awards to construct a series of new border wall gates in the Rio Grande Valley using money appropriated by Congress in 2017.

Border officials have long identified the Rio Grande Valley as a hotbed of illegal border crossing from Mexico. The levee wall projects there, slated to begin in February, were approved by Congress in March as part of a spending bill that provided nearly $1.6 billion for border security, including 33 miles of new levee and pedestrian fencing in the Rio Grande Valley.

No other publicly available contracts or budget documents point to the 115 miles of Texas border wall Trump said he had “just” approved on December 24. Combined with the 65 miles of new or improved barriers that could be authorized in the pending Senate spending bill for 2019, the administration eventually could lay claim to about 97 miles of upgraded border security in Texas, but that is still short of Trump’s claim to contracts in hand for 115 miles.

While some supporters have suggested that his tweet could have anticipated Texas border wall projects funded from his pending $5 billion request to Congress, Trump has doubled down on his contract claim and vowed to follow up with a trip to Texas later this month.

Combining the corruption of Nixon with the dementia of Reagan, since 2016.

There's too much there wish. What we know is only the tip of the ice berg. I feel Mueller's report may rock this country to it's core. I'll also go out on a limb here and say the republicans will vote for a veto proof bill opening up the government. And that folks ends Trumps influence.

Republican Sens. Cory Gardner of Colorado and Susan Collins of Maine are up for reelection in 2020 in states Trump lost. Both broke ranks saying it is time to end the stalemate even without wall funding.
