According to Ann Coulter, no new construction had taken place since MAGA took office but have not validated such claims.

These were new panels for old wall apparently.

Newly installed panels...

That said, this is not being seen as a 'positive' development even though it shows how crazy winds can be.

Trump in private meeting with donors: “This whole caravan is a positive thing because it’s showing people how crazy it is”
Jan 25, 2020
President Trump spent months publicly railing about a caravan of migrants working its way up from Central America. His fear-mongering on the issue, relentless coverage from Fox News and a heavy ad campaign from the GOP amounted to the Republican Party’s closing message of the 2018 campaign. During this dinner, just months before those elections, he made clear he was privately cheering it.

AC is a liar.

That's a strong statement about one of the earliest MAGA revolution supporters.

Noting it does not say what is "replacement wall".

From November:

The administration still has yet to fence in any new miles of border with President Trump’s wall, a top Homeland Security official acknowledged Thursday — though he said that’s not the right way to look at the problem.

Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan told reporters that 78 miles of wall has been erected under Mr. Trump, but all of it has replaced outdated fencing or barriers that had previously existed.

None of it has blocked off a portion of the border where there wasn’t previously some type of barrier.

LOL

That's been debunked already.

Replacing barbed wire fences and "vehicle barriers" with Trump's wall IS new WALL.

And they have been building wall in areas that had nothing before for some time now.

Mexican Military needs to break this up.

(Sorry media.. know ya want to enrage us)

They did break up the most recent caravan.
This thread is an old thread about an old caravan that e_d bumps because he thinks it is somehow bad for Trump and is part of his troll bump regimen.

Some Far Right onservatives may see this again as a conspiracy for politics but in reality MAGA theory on crazy display is getting confirmed yet again:

8,000 migrants in 'Devil's Route' caravan prepare to storm Mexican border from Honduras

• Massive Central American caravan hopes to cross through the Guatemala-Mexico border this weekend
• Migrants looking to seek asylum from the United States set out from San Pedro Sula, Honduras, and were scheduled to meet a larger contingent in El Salvador
• It the second time in January that migrants challenge the Mexican's government refusal to grant them unrestricted passage to the United States border
• More than 2,000 asylum seekers were deported from Mexico and Guatemala last week after a caravan of 4,000 plus reached Guatemala on January 14 and 15
• The Trump administration has enforced its policy for migrants seeking refuge since the first migrant caravan formed in late 2018

Published: 31 January 2020

At least 8,000 asylum seekers from Central America, including many who were deported last week, will test Mexico's refusal to grant them unrestricted passage towards the United States by attempting to cross the border into the country yet again.
Hundreds of migrants gathered Thursday in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, and departed early Friday after word spread through Facebook channels and WhatsApp chain messages during the beginning of the week. The caravan is expected to be made up of at least 8,000 people.
The group was set to meet up with other refuge seekers in El Salvador to continue the 'Devil's Route' through Guatemala before an anticipated showdown with Mexican security forces at the border.

Border is tight. Fake News silent!

[enhanced_deficit]

Interesting wording but yea fakenews has been known to be silent selectively. Maybe they don't see it as a 'positive development'.

Tweet was from 2018. On one hand he said the wall was secure and yet he also claimed that it was porous and open. He likes to contradict himself.

Since he frequently contradicts himself his statements can't be trusted at all, you have to watch his actions to even guess about his positions or plans.

To be fair, that is a known personality trait of his...some of his purist supporters even got upset over it.
