What Happened to Building a Wall?

Aug 27, 2026

Trump is facing anger from parts of his own base over immigration, with supporters saying the wall and mass deportations they voted for twice have not materialized.

  • The core promise that won Trump two elections — stop illegal immigration and build the wall — is being called unfulfilled.
  • Hardline appointments like Greg Bovino at Border Patrol and Tom Homan were meant to prove he meant it this time.
  • Supporters say deportations still are not happening at the scale promised.
  • The sharper complaint is about a double standard: Americans go to jail for breaking the law while illegal immigrants get benefits.

Outlook: Pressure from the right on immigration enforcement is likely to grow louder as results keep falling short of the promise.
