Service customs and border protection (CBP) the United States presented their progress in implementing the election promises of Donald trump on the construction of the border wall.
From 2017 on the southern border States were built more than 60 miles of the wall.
«Construction crews continue work on a new system of border walls,» said CBP on Twitter on Sunday, sharing a video on a newly built border fence in San Luis (Arizona).

However, the 60-mile development is a little more than 13% of the 450 miles of border wall, which trump promised to install before the end of 2020.
This means that CBP will have to build about 390 miles of the border wall over the next 16 months, if the service wants to do one of the main presidential promises.
Own rhetoric trump of project boundary wall has changed since then, as he began his campaign. So, for example, in August of 2015 at a press conference in Iowa, Donald trump noted that «it is easy to build a 1900-mile wall.» By 28 October 2015, this figure dropped to 1,000 miles.

«The Chinese built the Great wall of China. Is 13 000 miles. We only need 1000, because we have natural barriers on the border,» said trump.
As of July of this year, CBP received sufficient funding only to support the construction of approximately from 201 to 205 miles of new border barriers.
By the way, the survey conducted by the Pew Research Center in January of this year, showed that 58% of Americans oppose the President’s plan to expand cross-border barriers, while 40% expressed support for the wall of trump.
