It's a new stretch of fencing, but Nielsen is tying it to "The Wall".
"It's a wall," said Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, standing in the shadow of a newly built stretch of a 30-foot border wall in Calexico, Calif., which she said would help U.S. agents secure the border.
"Let me be clear: Walls work," Nielsen said. "That's not my opinion, it's not a tagline, it's not a political statement — it's a fact."

All Republican and Democratic congresspersons lobbied for new and improved fences along the borders.
This fence was built using the $1.6 billion border security funds approved by Congress when they rejected funding for The Wall in the last spending bill.
