WASHINGTON Mexico never paid for any of it. Its less than half finished. And on Jan. 20 or soon thereafter, construction will come to an abrupt halt on the big beautiful wall that President Donald Trump promised to build along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The project has cost $15 billion so far, most of it diverted from the military budget after Congress refused to provide full funding.
President-elect Joe Biden vowed during the campaign to kill the project, but leave in place whatever the Trump administration leaves behind.
At the moment, thats about 400 miles worth of levee wall and 30-foot-tall bollard fencing, though nearly all of that mileage already had some sort of barrier before Trump took office. Only 12 miles did not.

(111,313 posts)I have two other cats that I need to add to the mix. I have a female cat that is about 3.5 years old and a female kitten that is four months old. The older one is a mottled calico that has gray as the base fur. The kitten is striped with extremely symmetrical markings and she is definitely a lap kitty.
