construction project of great size and scope. and then the l.a. times came along and ruined everything with this headline. trump tweets that his border wall construction has started. it hasn t. they quote a spokesman for the border patrol, and forgive us for thinking that the former spokesman for the border patrol as saying the following during the media tour of the sector earlier this month. quote, first and foremost, this isn t trump s wall. this isn t the infrastructure that trump is trying to bring in. this new wall replacement has absolutely nothing to do with the pro toe times that were shown over in. indeed, the kill joys of the l.a. times say the wall construction the president is talking about and tweeting about today is a replacement project that started back in 09. so that is our roundup of the real news tonight from america s southern border and that is,
