https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-468246491. How much 'new wall' Trump has built is up for debate
2. Most of the wall isn't 'wall' at all
3. How it's being paid for remains controversial
4. Illegal crossings appear to have fallen this year
5. A key migrant camp is emptying
6. The barrier is unlikely to stop most kinds of drugs coming into the US
Not sure what happened but my message was truncated. Anyhow, that 10B can now be used to pay for vaccines or food aid for struggling families impacted by the pandemic. Alot of work ahead to clean this up for Biden/Harris admin.

Biden can just peel it off again for his projects

Well maybe if some of it can be used to help military families. Vaccines & helping the struggling families with basic necessities - housing, food, etc. - are my biggest wishes.
