Which border is this claim referring to? The US-Mexico border. Did the US-Mexico border have barriers before President Tump took office? Yes About 654 miles of the 1,991-mile border already had some kind of fabricated barrier when Mr. Trump took office. Much of the rest has natural barriers; approximately 1,295 miles of the border are river, and 696 miles are land. Did the US-Mexico border have barriers before President Tump took office? Yes Before he took office, there were 654 miles (just over 1,000km) of barrier along the southern border - made up of 354 miles of barricades to stop pedestrians and 300 miles of anti-vehicle fencing. How much of the border has barriers as of October 2020? Now, according to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in its 6 October status report, the southern border has 669 miles of "primary barrier" - the first structure people heading from Mexico to the US will encounter - and 65 miles of "secondary barrier" - which usually runs behind the primary structure as a further obstacle.

This means that in areas where no barricades existed before, they have built 15 miles of new, primary barrier or "border wall system", as it is called by CBP.

​​About a further 350 miles of barrier has been built, according to CBP, made up of replacement structures and some new secondary barrier.

More is planned, too, with 378 miles of new and replacement barrier either under construction or in the "pre-construction phase". Less than half of this will be in locations where no barriers currently exist, according to CBP. How many border encounters were there in 2018-2020? Fiscal years
2018 - 521,090
2019 - 977,509
2020 - 458,088 When did the Covid-19 pandemic emerge? The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19 first emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan in 2019 and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO)
Illegal drug, border crossings, and human smuggling activities have decreased in areas where barriers are deployed in the United States.
