A "wall" exists and it doesn't deter much. This is a con.

"will order." All bark. No change. Already neatly 1k miles of wall: most of rest is rivers and mountains. And he's punting on DACA.

There (already) is a wall. @800 miles... Lot of rest is mountains/rivers; impossible to build
Juliette Kayyem ?@juliettekayyem 10h10 hours ago
The question tomorrow is: where will the wall be built. Ask for place, state, coordinates. Is it land, water, mountain. Has TX objected.

Who pays for wall is secondary. There is no more wall to be built. Red States, tribal and geography are barriers to building more. Not Dems

Almost all of Arizona's border with Mexico already has a barrier. Interested to hear what kind of exec order is issued tomorrow.

Thoughts from TX lawmakers on the wall. Mostly, they don't want it. https://t.co/XhnOnSTAqr

@juliettekayyem I grew up in NM and it's a problem that most don't understand a "wall" exists and it doesn't deter much. This is a con.
