US Mexico border = 1,951 miles https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=length+of+us+mexico+border New Mexico border = 1,434 miles http://www.city-data.com/states/New-Mexico-Location-size-and-extent.html New Mexico Mexico border = 180 miles http://www.usborderpatrol.com/Border_Patrol746.htm As shown the wall would be 3,025 miles, approximately 55% longer.
And, to top it off, if we build a wall on the Mexican border, we lose access to the Rio Grande river, because I don't think the Mexicans will let us build it on their side of the river. So there's that.
When I saw this post, I thought "there's no way he said something that stupid". And for once, [I was actually right](http://www.snopes.com/donald-trump-new-mexico/).
