The Endless Wall: Trump's Pledge Becomes a Perpetual Promise Over a decade has passed since President Donald Trump first vowed to build a wall along the US Mexico border.
Despite over 700 miles of construction, with thousands more planned, the project remains unfinished.
According to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) tracking, approximately 458 miles of wall were installed during Trump's first term, mostly replacing pre existing barriers rather than constructing new ones.
