Border-wall politics trips up Trump’s 2024 campaign (again)
In case this isn't obvious, Democrats have never said border barriers are entirely unnecessary between the Pacific Coast and the Gulf of Mexico. There are high-traffic areas, party officials have long said, in which it makes sense to have to have structures to prevent illegal crossings. Throughout Obama's term, it was not uncommon to build and repair barriers along these parts of the border.
As of last week, Trump tried to take credit for some of the Obama administration's work, either (a) hoping the public wouldn't know the difference, or (b) cluelessly unaware of reality…

They Built the Wall. Now Some in Texas Fear It May Fall Down. - The New York Times
Now, the three-mile-long barrier is essentially orphaned, functionally useless — because of a federally constructed border barrier a short distance behind it — and, according to an engineering report commissioned by the Justice Department, at risk of falling over in a major flood and floating away.
And because of its location and construction along the water's edge, federal officials worry that the fence could end up redirecting the Rio Grande in such a way that the land it sits on would end up as part of Mexico...
