Border Wall
One or more physical barriers at the United States’ international border, particularly its southern border with Mexico. Extending existing border walls was a central theme of President Trump’s administration, notwithstanding the significant costs (of all kind) and diminishing returns. Once inaugurated, President Biden ordered a cessation of additional border wall construction (although some has seemingly continued); litigation ensued.
