The Border Wall hasn’t been in the news as much recently, but work is most definitely progressing!

Check out this new video shared on the AP’s YouTube channel from the U.S. Border Patrol showing massive construction going up:

The U.S. Border Patrol unveiled a section of the new border wall being constructed in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas on Thursday. In October, Border Patrol said workers were installing steel rebar at the site south of Donna, a small city in South Texas’ Rio Grande Valley. The rebar will reinforce concrete panels that will in turn be topped with 18-foot (5.5-meter) steel bollards. Environmental advocates and opponents of the wall have warned that construction will destroy critical habitat and require the seizure of land from potentially hundreds of people in South Texas.The Border Patrol says a wall will deter drug and human smuggling.
