Department of Homeland Security officials, both current and former ones like President Obama's DHS Chief Jeh Johnson, insist there is a crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. There were over 100,000 apprehensions in April alone, the highest monthly total since 2007.

At a recent hearing, Shanahan said the Pentagon has sufficient funds to build at least 256 miles of the wall.
