Location: Wall 🌎

The Mexico–United States barrier (Spanish: barrera Estados Unidos–México, also known as the US–Mexico border wall or simply the “border wall”) is a series of vertical barriers along the Mexico–United States border intended to reduce illegal immigration to the United States from Mexico. The barrier is not a continuous structure but a series of obstructions variously classified as “fences” or “walls”.Between the physical barriers, security is provided by a “virtual fence” of sensors, cameras, and other surveillance equipment used to dispatch United States Border Patrol agents to suspected migrant crossings. In May 2011, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that it had 649 miles (1,044 km) of barriers in place. An additional 52 miles (84 km) of primary barriers were built during Donald Trump’s presidency. The total length of the national border is 1,954 miles (3,145 km). On July 28, 2022, the Biden administration announced it would fill four wide gaps in Arizona near Yuma, an area with some of the busiest corridors for illegal crossings.
