FRONTON, Texas (AP) — A Texas state trooper was wounded on the Texas-Mexico border by a bullet traced to a gunbattle underway on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande.

Lt. Johnny Hernandez of the Texas Department of Public Safety says the trooper was struck in the leg by what may have been an errant bullet from across the river.

If the wall was already standing, he wouldn't have been hit…   ;)

If I were a worker on the fence, I believe I would want armed guards around, wear armored vests, and stay on the American side of the wall.  I think the cartels might use the workers as target practice.

The wall isn't going to be built right on the border. In Texas, the border is the middle of the Rio Grande river. So both sides of the wall will face the U.S.
