Five miles of new wall and about 300 miles of replacement wall... with the new design
1. Being blown over by 35 mph winds in California
2. Very conducive to hiding a kind of ladder made from cheap, commonly-obtained materials
3. Not quite as unscalable as Trump claimed as immediately after installation at one point of the border, Mexicans had BBQs on the south side with contests to see who could climb the wall the fastest free-handed (best times were under a minute) and even a Mexican lawmaker climbing it to show how easy it was.
