EXCLUSIVE: Trump's border agency says he has built ZERO new walls despite claiming otherwise for months — as president prepares to veto lawmakers' attempt to kill his emergency declaration and keep his signature campaign promise alive

•U.S. Customs and Border Protection told DailyMail.com that no new border wall has been erected where there wasn't a barrier before

•President Trump has boasted that he has built both new and replacement walls, a claim that appears untrue given CBP's statement on the record

•'We have already built large new sections,' he wrote in December

•All the construction along the border to date has consisted of replacement and 'secondary' fencing, CBP now says

•DailyMail.com asked the agency to identify where border walls exist in places where no barriers existed on Inauguration Day 2017

•A spokesman said '[t]he first new wall project, where no barrier currently exists, is anticipated to start in April'
