Trump's WALL

President Trump has announced his desire for a new wall along the U.S. Mexico border, stating ‘Build it ‘big’ and build it ‘beautiful,’ with Mexico paying the bill. President Trump still does not have the funding from Congress, and Mexico has stated it will not pay for the wall. However, in this year’s budget, Congress has set aside $20 million for prototypes.

Each company also incorporated some unique design elements. Here are what the designs look like.
