"In the fields south of this farm town, unfinished segments of the U.S. border wall jut from the ground with gaps between them as wide as a house. The steel structures, painted jet black at the order of Donald Trump when he was president, are the largest objects for miles around, looking more like an abstract art project than instruments of U.S. national security."
"Polls show there is more public support for the border wall than ever. But a resumption of major construction would contribute to a peculiar issue with the barrier in South Texas."
"The U.S.-Mexico border is defined in Texas by the Rio Grande, but the government does not install 30-foot-tall steel barriers in the middle of a river, let alone on its looping, unstable banks. So the border wall in South Texas isn't built on the border."
