Prototypes for Trump's Border Wall Now on View in California
The U.S.-Mexico border between San Diego and Tijuana received eight controversial additions over the weekend.
The New York Daily News is sharing an image gallery with supplemental text that reveals the latest development in the Border Wall proposal pushed by the Trump Administration since the early days of the presidential campaign.
Over the weekend, eight prototypes of the border wall were installed near the border south of San Diego, and the New York Daily News was present to catalogue and share the prototypes. According to the text supplementing the image gallery, four of the eight models use concrete, while the other four use "alternate or other materials."
The last time Planetizen picked up on news about the Border Wall, The Washington Post was reporting that four companies had been selected to build the prototypes.
