Trump's border wall IS being built - with work under way on first prototypes of barrier at special site in San Diego where agents are braced for massive protestsDaily Mail/UK, Sep 26, 2017
The federal government said Tuesday that contractors began building eight prototypes of President Donald Trump's proposed border wall with Mexico, hitting a milestone toward a key campaign pledge.
Construction in San Diego began three months behind schedule after those who didn't win contracts protested.
The building process will last about 30 days, Customs and Border Protection said.
The agency may pick several winners, or none. It said in a news release that the prototypes 'will inform future design standards which will likely continue to evolve to meet the U.S. Border Patrol's requirements.'
But the agency is also braced for massive protests and is beginning construction under tight security, the San Deigo Union-Tribune reported.
Each prototype will be up to 30 feet high and 30 feet long. Bidding documents say four of the prototypes are to be solid concrete and four are to be made of 'other materials.'
