President Donald Trump visited a border wall construction site at Otay Mesa in San Diego, California on Wednesday.
In a daily news summary sent out by the White House, the Trump administration also touted Trump's border wall visit, saying the project was possibly"President Trump's most important promise kept to the American people."
Meanwhile, it said,"as a matter of symbolism, it reassures Americans that after years of empty promises from Washington to fix immigration, their voices mean something." While the agency has been overseeing the construction of additional sections of the border wall in recent weeks, it is unclear how much more of the barrier has been built.Even with the handful of miles that the agency is likely to have seen constructed since late August, it will still have hundreds of miles to go before the end of 2020.
However, just this week, the border wall bid was hit with yet another setback, with the Defense Department deciding to ax three border wall projects in California and Arizona, citing"insufficient contract savings,"Secretary of Defense Mark Esper had approved the construction of an additional 20 miles of barriers using $2.5 billion pulled from a counter-drug initiative, using the authority to spend money on the border wall bid to block off"drug-smuggling corridors.
