Democrats slam the wall effort as a waste of money despite agents at the border saying that the extra time these obstacles afford “would be greatly appreciated.”
The tests may choose one or multiple designs as some areas will be best served by tall concrete structures while others will need openings to deal with water flow or to allow visibility.
