WATCH: Donald Trump’s 8 Border Wall Prototypes That Cost $20 Million Demolished to Make Room for 14 Miles of Border Fence
We hardly knew thee.

Over a year ago, the Trump administration reallocated funds within the budget of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for President ’s border wall project. $20 million of the border security budget went to pay contractors to build a total of 16 border wall prototypes: two duplicate sets of four concrete and four steel designs.
Soon all 16 will be gone.
Eight of the prototypes went up in an undisclosed location to be tested by DHS to determine which wall type worked best. All eight failed in testing, taking so much damage that at least one was deemed a serious safety hazard.
The other eight identical prototypes went up near San Diego at the Otay Mesa border area. These eight served as backdrops for photo-ops by both President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
