Monumental 450 miles of border wall completed, funding for hundreds more secured, acting CBP head says

The head U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Tuesday announced the Trump administration has completed its goal of 450 miles of new border wall along the Southwest border, and said Congress has given the agency enough money to finish 738 miles. Mark Morgan, CBP acting commissioner, in a call with media on Tuesday afternoon called it a "monumental achievement" and once again defended the strategical importance of constructing the 30-foot-tall metal bollards through desert, mountains and thick brush from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. And in response to a question from Border Report, he defended that Congress believes in the border wall saying it appropriated $1.375 billion recently to build it.
