The question remains, however, how much of the border wall will actually be constructed? While President Trump requested $23 billion for border security (much of which would be designated as money to be used for the construction of the wall). President Trump asserted on the campaign trail that he wanted the border wall built and that Mexico would pay for it, but Mexico hasn’t agreed to do so.
Additionally, businesses (such as Cards Against Humanity) and private citizens aren’t exactly thrilled about the prospect of losing their property; especially land owners in Texas who went through the process when the government seized land in 2007 to essentially attempt to do the same thing.
If the border wall does come to fruition, Texas would have more than 1,200 miles of border wall. U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced in October 2017 that they’ve completed prototypes (yes, plural) for the potential border wall.
