As of December 18, construction crews had completed 438 miles of border wall since January 2017, according to Customs and Border Protection. There are 37 border wall construction projects in motion along various points of the border with Mexico, according to the US Army Corps of Engineers. Brandon Judd, President of the National Border Patrol Council, the union that represents border patrol agents, celebrates the construction and hopes Biden will finish what Trump started. Chilton says he has spent several years lobbying for border wall construction on his land, but the construction hasn't been approved. But he says he's pleased that the border wall construction is moving closer to his property.
