President Trump is proposing that the federal government spend $2.6 billion to design and build "tactical infrastructure" for a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
Since he launched his campaign, Trump has focused a great deal of attention on the security of America's southern border.

Moya and his brother Jordan recently spent nine days traveling along the border, taking pictures and talking to people along the way.
