Now, I have read that a Soldier, fully loaded with gear, can march about 30 miles per day. I have also read that French Foreign Legion solders have marched up to 60 miles in one day, fully packed out...but this was marching for 24hours straight. These are hard core warriors that are in good health/physical condition.

These people obviously are not in the physical condition to do such a thing, but lets be generous and say they can do 25 miles in a day...which is probably optimistic.

At 25 miles per day, it will take approximately 60 days to arrive at the border, which I am assuming is the closest point of entry on the map that Spence provided.
How much wall can be built during that time?
