Correction, Aug. 23, 2021 6:44 pm:
An earlier version of this story relied upon incomplete data provided to The Texas Tribune by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, including an incomplete list of border barrier contracts begun by the Trump administration and incorrect information on dollar amounts and number of miles of wall for some contracts. The total number of contracts is 22, not 18. The total dollar amount of the contracts is $3.4 billion, not $2.8 billion. The number of miles covered by the contracts is 243, not 280.
Based on CBP’s incorrect data, the story originally stated that a stretch of about 69 miles near Laredo was contracted for $299 million at $4 million per mile when, in fact, about 70 miles near Laredo were contracted for $1 billion at nearly $15 million per mile. And based on that incorrect CPB data, the story said that the state funds set aside by Gov. Greg Abbott, combined with private donations for the wall as of July 14, would fund between 7 and 62 miles of barrier. The money would fund between 7 and 43 miles of barrier.
Can Greg Abbott actually build Trump’s border wall?
