South of a McAllen & there is only piecemeal fencing between the Coast & Nuevo Laredo & anywhere further West. Those parts were mainly achieved by local efforts & are not intended as a "border barrier" but only to divert drug smugglers & illegal immigrants to areas where hopefully Border Patrols can concentrate in order to stop them.

You are misinformed &, as you say, lost!

There were a couple of small, relative to the entire border, pilot programs done in Arizona before the Feds put a halt on any border wall expansions not long after Obama took office, as well, but they are just a couple of short spans too.

There is no contiguous border wall in Texas & to say is competely disingenuous &/or ignorant! The piecemeal barriers that do exist are maybe 10 ft. fence anyway & a great part of the border relies only in the natural border of the Rio Grande itself for protection which is & has been easily penetrable since Texas established its independence.
