What Washington’s Nuclear Gamble with Saudi Means The US expects to complete President Donald Trump’s long-promised southern border wall by late 2027, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Rodney Scott said Tuesday.
The barrier along the US-Mexico border is made of reinforced metal beams and is intended to run from San Diego to the Gulf of Mexico, except in selected areas “where we’ve made a conscious decision that we don’t need it”, Scott said at the Centre for Immigration Studies event in Washington.
“The primary border wall will be done by the end of 2027,” he said.

“There’s a couple of gaps,” Scott said.
“The only places we’re not building a border wall is places where we’ve made a conscious decision that we don’t need it. Big Bend National Park, for example – super remote area, some very, very high cliffs.”
The wall will be supplemented by electronic surveillance and other devices, which would be installed by “about July, maybe at the latest August 2028”, Scott said.
