The Trump administration has announced plans to build nearly 10 miles of new border barriers along the San Diego-Mexico border, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sources consulted by NBC's San Diego affiliate.
The proposed construction would be located near the Tecate and Otay Mesa ports of entry. The project includes a 30-foot-high steel bollard wall with anti-climb features. The largest section, west of the Tecate Port of Entry, would stretch nearly eight miles, while another section east of Tecate would add just over a mile. A third segment east of Otay Mesa would measure a little more than three miles.
