Amiright?

Umm, it was Trump's sweeping generalizations of Mexicans and central/South American immigrants as rapists and criminals that were called racist.

Not the wall.

The wall was called stupid. 

The article suggests that the plan is to add 20 miles of wall to a distinct problem area in one county. 
When added to the 450 miles Trump managed to build over 4 years (that Mexico never paid for) that means 470 miles of a 1,954 mile border will have a "wall." 

24% of the border 

Yippee

All of that is true, and I agree.  However, it is heartening that we seem to be finally doing something about this border problem.  Even if it's a small piece of wall where a small piece of wall is needed badly.  One of the things I find most frustrating about the Biden administration is the silence on certain issues that are important.  For a long time, it's been like, Hey, the border is broken and people are streaming across in record numbers.  And the response was silence.
