President Trump’s administration announced it is planning to build new barriers that extend within nearly 10 miles along the San Diego-Mexico border.
The proposed barriers would be built near the Tecate and Otay Mesa Port of Entries.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said they plan to build and maintain nearly 10 miles of primary border barrier.
This would consist of 30-foot-high six-inch squared diameter steel bollards, with anti-climb features.
The largest barrier would be located West of the Tecate Port of Entry and would be nearly eight miles.
East of Tecate, they plan to build a little more than one mile of the new barrier.
The third one would be East of Otay Mesa Port of Entry. That one would be a little over three miles.
