Border Wall Status

We are 11 days into the Biden Administration, and for now, this link still works, although it's labeled at the top as Archived from a previous administration.

Here's a screenshot of the Border Wall Map, with the Red lines marking the New Border Wall system, most of it replacing the grossly inadequate fencing that existed there previously.  This Map unfortunately does not differentiate with different colors which parts of the wall were Completed vs. Under Construction vs. Under Pre-Construction.  The border is about 2000 miles long.  About 450 miles of New Wall was completed before Biden foolishly stopped the building.  I think another 290 miles was under Pre-Construction or Construction.  The little gaps you see in many places below are where the mountainous terrain created a natural barrier.  The New Wall would run up to the mountain and then start again on the other side.  It would be easier to climb the 18-30ft. fence than climb over the mountain.  The biggest gap along the Western 2/3 of the Texas/Mexico border is a very mountainous section where the Rio Grande runs between large cliffs on either side.  A wall is not needed in hardly any of that section.  Again, scaling a 30 ft. fence is far easier than traveling through a remote mountainous area for days and crossing that treacherous terrain.  Other areas of the Rio Grande further East in Texas which are not near any roads are much better suited to use aerial surveillance to spot people and stop them if they try to get across the river at those points.  All in all, the 450 miles of completed wall is a huge accomplishment and greatly helps our Border Patrol's ability to control the border.  The question is whether Democrats will even try to control the border or not.

UPDATE:

As of October 23, 2020 (4 months before this post was written), construction of the wall system breaks down as follows:

• FUNDED: 738 miles
• COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION: 386 miles
• UNDER CONSTRUCTION: 195 miles
• PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE: 157 miles

This site below has another map which tries to break down each section of the border wall project by construction phase.  I'm not sure how up-to-date all the information is.  But it also has a great picture to help people understand the benefit of this New Wall system vs. the previous fencing it replaced.
