Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said last month that each week, about two miles of additional border wall is being built.

"[It’s] coming along aggressively,” McAleenan told Trump during a meeting at the White House on June 12. “By the end of next year, over 400 miles [will be built].”

Math doesn't match. 2 miles a week means 100 miles a year, 400 miles in a year and a half would be 5 miles a week. Hopefully it is 400, because if 400 miles are built by election time, Trump will win. If only 150 miles are built, it'll be a tough sell that he kept the promise to build the wall.
