Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Wednesday laid out a timeline for the completion of the U.S.-Mexico border wall. 
In a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Mullin said DHS is on track to have a primary border wall stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of America completed by &#8220;this time next year.&#8221;
“On the border wall, first of all, we are on track to have the primary wall done, completed from the Pacific to the Gulf of America this time next year. We&#8217;ll have all contracts out by the end of this month. And we&#8217;re having great progress,” Mullin said.

Mullin stressed that cartels have learned how to breach and cut sections of the border wall, forcing the need for a secondary barrier to reinforce the primary wall and deter illegal crossings. 
“So we&#8217;re putting 150 foot some places, sometimes smaller than that, for a secondary wall that they got to go over, plus a smart wall, which will tell us approximately how many people are there. If they&#8217;re carrying a pack, they&#8217;re not carrying a pack,” he added. “The smart wall is pretty, pretty impressive. We can put a drone in the sky to immediately keep eyes on them.”

Mullin predicted the agency should complete the second wall barrier by the summer of 2028. During the Biden administration, Border Patrol agents saw a daily average of 5,110 illegal migrants cross the border, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-trump-closed-the-border-in-2025">The Daily Wire previously reported.</a>
Under President Trump’s second term, illegal border crossings have fallen to historic lows, and the GOP-led &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; unlocked funding for enhanced border security reinforcements.  
The routine hearing on Capitol Hill turned contentious when a Michigan Democratic congressman asked Mullin about the &#8220;great replacement theory.&#8221;  
&#8220;When will you stop DHS from using its social media accounts to spread bigoted and racist words and imagery, promoting great replacement theory?&#8221; Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) asked Mullin. 
&#8220;It&#8217;s interesting how you make those claims and give no facts, but yet your party&#8217;s the one that&#8217;s supporting the guy that&#8217;s got a Nazi tattoo on his chest in Maine,” the DHS chief replied. 
“I have the facts,” Thanedar insisted. 
“There [are] no facts. You throw out nationalism and Nazism, and that&#8217;s exactly what causes the hatred and violence that happens to our officers every single day, and you should be ashamed of using that,” Mullin fired back.
