Texas Border Wall Project Faces Decades-Long Timeline and $20 Billion Cost

Governor Abbott's state-funded initiative has completed just 34 miles in three years, hindered by land acquisition challenges.

Current construction rate is half a mile per week, aiming for 100 miles by 2026.
State law prohibits the use of eminent domain for land access, complicating progress.
The project has received over $3 billion in funding since 2021, with ongoing legislative support.
Critics argue the wall is a costly and ineffective solution to immigration.
Governor Abbott continues to advocate for the wall, citing national security concerns.
