Question

A map of Mexico and Southwestern United States shows the placement of new and existing border walls. The map shows state outlines in the southwest region of the United States, and labels for California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. State outlines are also shown for Mexico, with labels for Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Nuevo Leon. A Key shows a solid line labeled New border wall, and a dotted line labeled Existing border wall. A new border runs from the coast of the Pacific Ocean in between San Diego and Tijuana, across the California/Baja border. There is a short existing wall at the California/Arizona border; then a new wall stretches across Arizona, with a couple of short existing walls interspersed. The new wall continues across the New Mexico border, in between El Paso and Ciudad Juarez. At this point the Rio Grande travels in between the two countries. The Texas border shows a very short new wall midway, and then two longer new walls that follow the path of the river as it empties into the Gulf of Mexico in between Brownsville and Matamoros. The Yucatan Peninsula and the Gulf of California are labeled. A scale shows 200 miles and 200 kilometers.
