Things are coming along nicely for the border wall being installed near San Luis, Arizona, a specific area where illegal immigrants are pouring into the United States.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP) took to Twitter to make the announcement and accompanied it with some drone footage:
“CBP has constructed over 60 miles of new border wall system along the SW border since 2017 and expects to complete 450 miles by the end of 2020."

Before the 18-foot high wall was put in place there was a 10-feet high wall. According to CBP it “failed to impede and deny illegal entries.”
This one is improved in many ways as it is triple layered and includes an 18' bollard wall.
