History

The border between the United States and Mexico stretches for 1,954 miles along four U.S. states (California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas) and six Mexican States (Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas). The border took its present form after the Gadsden Purchase in 1854.  

In January 2017, President Trump signed Executive Order 13767, which directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to:

· Plan, design and construct a wall along the southern border and detention facilities using existing federal funding; and

· Hire 5,000 additional Border Patrol agents.
