Q    No disagreements.  But how many — but just for a breakdown, how many miles formerly existed that have now been renovated or replaced?  And how many miles — new, where nothing existed?

ACTING COMMISSIONER MORGAN:  So, right now, the 78 miles that have been built have been built where there was an existing form of barrier. We just started breaking ground in RGV, where we’re building miles of new wall where there has been no structure there at all.

Q    So that’s just now starting the construction of new wall up against —

ACTING COMMISSIONER MORGAN:  That’s correct.

Press Briefing by Acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan

Immigration

James S. Brady Press Briefing Room

10:32 A.M. EST

ACTING COMMISSIONER MORGAN:  Good morning.  Today I’d like to talk about the latest southwest border enforcement statistics, focusing primarily on the month of October.

But, first, if you recall, earlier this year we sounded an alarm — actually, quite a bit — with respect to the border crisis and asking Congress repeatedly to act to fix the loopholes in our broken immigration system, and close the gaps driving this crisis.  Unfortunately, not a single piece of meaningful legislation has been brought forward.

And as a result, this country stood by and watched as the crisis worsened, as we reached our peak in May of over 140,000 apprehensions in a single month.  However, in the continued absence of congressional action, the President, along with his administration, as well as our hardworking men and women of the Customs and Border Protection and our partner agencies, has taken action.

Consider that the lethal dose of fenatanyl for most people is about 2 milligrams (.002 grams), a gram can kill 500 people if administered in 2 mg doses. A pound of fentanyl contains 453.592 grams, enough to kill over a quarter million people.

Are we ready to stop this crap yet? Or are the swamp critters making far too much money over this?
