Is Trump's border wall being built? Here are the facts
Instead of building new walls, the Department of Homeland Security has replaced old barriers in some border areas and erected new fences in a few locations.
Those metal barriers mostly are 12 to 18 feet high. They are the same design fences built under Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush.
Indeed, Congress funded the projects with a stipulation that the new border structures built under Trump must use existing fence designs — meaning the new prototype wall designs couldn't be used.
But in practice, the distinction between "wall" and "fence" has begun to blur.
More than a year ago, Trump and the Department of Homeland security began labeling all border barriers as "walls," even though they are the same fences he belittled during his campaign.
Today, as the president pushes Congress to finance funding for his most symbolic and concrete campaign vision, it is undecided whether a border wall already is under construction, whether the "big, beautiful wall" will ever get built — or whether, under the new definition, it already has been.
The answer, arguably, has become a matter of interpretation, as well as congressional approval.
