The wall would do nothing about the current immigration crisis, so who cares that it's not done?

It no doubt feels like a real slam dunk for President Trump’s opponents to point out that he’s done very little in terms of completing his “wall” on the southern border, but consider this: Of the nearly 700,000 undocumented foreigners apprehended at the border so far this year, about 525,000 of them will almost certainly have been turned loose into the country. No “wall” would have prevented that.

The Drudge Report on Monday blared a Washington Examiner story that said the Trump administration has yet to build “a single mile of new border fence” during this entire term in office.

The story by my fantastic colleague Anna Giaritelli is 100% accurate and yet, again, 75% of the people who crossed in to the U.S. illegally this year are now here for an indefinite stay, and that’s not because a wall wasn’t there to stop them. Some of them may have even encountered pieces of wall when they arrived in South Texas, which is where the vast majority of them cross. But by that point, they will have already been on American soil for up to an hour searching for a Border Patrol agent so that they could seek asylum.
