The Story

President Donald Trump is demanding Congress fund the construction of a wall along America’s border with Mexico. Work has already begun, with eight prototypes of new structures recently being showcased in San Diego.

In the new series "America's Wall," KPBS and inewsource obtained previously unseen federal documents that detail the existing barriers along the border built under several previous administrations. The series also profiles people on both sides of the border, and both sides of a contentious issue.
