And along the US-Mexico border, a significant development is underway. The Trump administration is constructing a "smart wall" using a combination of steel fencing and advanced technology.

The fencing itself is 30 feet tall, a substantial upgrade from the barbed wire that previously separated the two countries. This project has been made possible by a large amount of funding from Congress.

Further details about the "smart wall" project are available through KPRC 2 Houston.
