President Trump posts new video of border wall being built

This isn't the massive $5 billion southern border the president has declared a national emergency over.

Rather, it's a 20 mile section in the Santa Teresa section of the border in New Mexico that was finished on January 30, 2019, ahead of schedule.

Customs and Border Protection says the $73.3 million project, announced in April 2018, replaces a smaller fence seen in the before and after picture above.

The aim of the fence is to prevent vehicle crossings.

It’s 18 to 20 feet tall, depending on the terrain.
