1) Three (3) miles in areas where there was previously no barrier.— S.V. Dáte (@svdate) July 3, 2020
2) Trump promised Mexico would pay. Mexico has paid nothing. Americans have paid through raids on their military budget. https://t.co/VjSa712oiO
And people are climbing the barrier with ease, or cutting through it almost equally easily.
And a federal court has stopped construction because it's using funds not appropriated for that purpose by Congress. Sure, the Supreme Court could reverse that, but they won't this year. By next year it may be a moot point.

GOLF UPDATE -- 3 JULY 2020:— S.V. Dáte (@svdate) July 3, 2020
Trump is back at his golf course in Virginia today.
He has now spent 256 days on a golf course he owns in his 1,261 days in office.
It is his 83rd day trip to Sterling.
Taxpayer-paid golf tab remains at $138.7 million.https://t.co/2nZJqTDg1h https://t.co/hd0Ag4tmL8
Oh, and don't forget:
New, by @ErinBanco & me: top Trump officials have directly pitched POTUS on, in response to the bounty intel, rescinding his offer to Putin for a G7 invite. At least twice in recent days, Trump was noncommittal when briefed& instead pivoted to trashing NYT https://t.co/p3WIaH7P5B— Asawin Suebsaeng (@swin24) July 2, 2020
Is it because Trump "loves" dictators? Or for darker, more personal, perhaps financial, reasons? If this isn't investigated in 2020 (assuming Trump loses), we will have issued a national blank check to the next would-be dictator, but one who actually knows how to exploit government power.
As it is, we got lucky: we got a golfing nincompoop.
