Trump's 'smart wall' combines steel fencing and surveillance
The Trump administration is rapidly advancing a $46 billion project to build a "smart wall" along the US-Mexico border, combining physical fencing with advanced surveillance technology such as sensors, cameras, and autonomous towers. While proponents claim it enhances border security and productivity of Border Patrol agents, critics argue it militarizes the border, infringes on local residents' privacy, and is implemented despite declining border crossings. The project involves constructing hundreds of miles of new barriers and retrofitting existing structures with advanced tech, raising concerns about cost, oversight, and impact on communities.
