150 Agents Headed for Texas Border

November 14, 2016

U.S. Customs and Border Protection plans to send 150 extra agents to the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas. Authorities report a surge of undocumented children and families trying to cross into the United States from Mexico, according to CNN.

 

In October, 46,195 people were apprehended on the border, compared to 39,501 in September and 37,048 in August, Department of Homeland Security Director Jeh Johnson said in a statement.

President-elect Donald Trump has called for building a wall across the U.S.-Mexico Border. But how plausible is this plan? The documentary team Field of Vision capture the size of the task with a video titled “Best of Luck With the Wall,” illustrating the expansiveness of the border between the two nations.

The team painstakingly stitched together 200,000 satellite images from Google Maps into a just under seven-minute visual journey following our border with Mexico. Take a look at the video below and get a sense of how massive an undertaking the wall would be.
