Renewed efforts are underway to construct barriers along the US-Mexico border. A region of focus is where a national park and state park are located. Historically, this area has seen relatively few illegal crossings.

The administration has awarded contracts for infrastructure to deter crossings, with a value of billions of dollars. Concerns have been raised by residents and environmentalists. Further information is available regarding the plans and the concerns of various groups, including elected officials.

Details about the proposed infrastructure are being discussed.
