Private funds financed the construction of the first kilometer of the wall between the USA and Mexico on the last weekend of May.

I read another article that was more explicit in saying that this small new section actually closed a major gap in the existing border protection, so while it may not sound like much in the abstract, I'll bet it's a BFD to the locals.
