Donald Trump hopes to complete the construction of a physical barrier spanning the entire US-Mexico border by the end of his second term, according to Vice President JD Vance. Vance made this statement in March 2025 during a visit to Eagle Pass, Texas.
During his first term, Trump's administration built or replaced over 450 miles of border wall. However, it's worth noting that the total mileage built by the Trump administration during the first term varies depending on how it's counted, with some analyses indicating a smaller number of new miles and a larger number of replaced miles.
The US-Mexico border is approximately 1,954 miles long.
When will
the southern border wall be completed according to trump's plan
Vice President JD Vance has indicated that President Trump hopes to complete the construction of a physical border wall along the entire U.S.-Mexico border by the end of his second term, which would be in 2029
This follows
a first term where Trump oversaw the construction or replacement of over 450
miles of border wall.
Further funding for the wall has recently been secured. The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," passed by the Republican-controlled Congress on July 3, 2025, allocates $46.5 billion for border wall construction.
The Department of Homeland Security's plans involve using this funding for hundreds of miles of additional barriers. DHS has also already made progress on over 85 miles of wall planned or under construction with prior year funding.
It is important to note that the completion date is an aspiration and dependent on various factors, including continued funding and overcoming potential obstacles such as legal challenges and land acquisition difficulties.
