Statement From Acting Secretary Wolf on The Completion of 450 Miles of New Border Wall

 “President Trump took office with the promise to build the wall and secure our southern border - a promise he has kept. From the start, the President listened to operators on the ground and has pushed for funding for physical infrastructure, access roads, lights, cameras and sensors - a full package to secure our border. Today, we are celebrating the 450th mile of new border wall system built under this Administration. 

When our critics said it couldn’t be done - we prevailed. When our critics threw up every roadblock - we prevailed. The men and women of DHS, CBP, and USACE deserve the thanks and gratitude of a grateful nation. Their tireless work has undoubtedly made America safer and more secure.”
