The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is unveiling a plan to extend portions of the border wall. In a statement Thursday, the DHS said it would build roughly 215 miles of border wall next year if Congress approves the president’s request for five billion dollars in funding.
DHS officials stressed the wall will help crack down on the influx of drugs and illegal immigrants into the U.S. and protect border patrol personnel.
