Length of Mexican Border - 複眼インデックス
Let’s make this more relatable. The border is longer than the entire coastline of California. It’s more than four times the distance from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.

If you drove the border at 60 miles per hour without stopping, you’d be stuck behind the wheel for over 32 hours. That’s a full day and a half of non-stop desert scenery.
Here’s a fun comparison: the Great Wall of China is about 13,000 miles long, but the Mexican border is still longer than the distance from London to Moscow. It’s a massive line by any standard.
Not Just Dirt and Fences
You might picture a solid wall from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico. The truth is, only about 700 miles have any kind of fencing or barriers.
The rest of the border is just open desert, rugged mountains, or flowing river. In some spots, you’d need a machete and a good pair of boots to even find the line.
There’s even a place called Border Field State Park in California where the border fence literally runs into the ocean. You can stand on the beach and watch the waves hit the fence—talk about location, location, location.
Building trumps wall
