Texas Builds 54 Miles of Border Wall, Spending $3.1 Billion Amid $24 Billion Cost Estimate and Land Acquisition Issues
Jan 4, 2025, 08:19 PM
Texas has constructed 54 miles of its border wall, nearly matching the 55 miles built during the Trump administration. The state has spent approximately $3.1 billion on this project, which is ongoing in Zapata County. Analysts estimate that each mile of the wall costs between $17 million and $41 million, suggesting the total cost could reach up to $24 billion if construction continues at the current pace. The wall's construction has faced challenges, including land acquisition issues, with about one-third of landowners refusing to allow the state to build on their properties. This has resulted in gaps in the wall and limited its overall effectiveness, according to border security experts. Despite these obstacles, Texas Governor Greg Abbott emphasized the state's commitment to securing the southern border, stating that Texas is the first and only state in U.S. history to build its own border wall.
