A private group backing President Donald Trump's border wall has kicked off a new project on the US-Mexico border in an attempt to showcase its barrier designs and shore up support for the President's signature issue.
It's not the first time that We Build the Wall, a group founded by an Air Force veteran, has had a presence in the border. In May, the group, which had raised millions of dollars in a GoFundMe campaign, broke ground on a stretch of wall on private property in New Mexico.
Similar to the New Mexico project, the group is building on private land in the Rio Grande Valley region in Texas, a strategy that shields it from government intervention. It's also using the same contractor: Fisher Industries, a company that's captured Trump's attention.
