Behold: prototypes for Donald Trump’s Mexico border wall in all their glory and anger.
These tester walls are what the real thing could look like — and each one is more aggressive than the last.

The president is making good on his campaign promise to divide humanity.
Trump’s still insisting that Mexico pay for the 2,000 mile monstrosity.
Contractors have spent the last few weeks mocking up how they envision the border wall.
Who's building the wall prototypes?
Caddell Construction Co., (DE), LLC, Montgomery, Alabama
Fisher Sand & Gravel Co., DBA Fisher Industries, Tempe, Arizona
Texas Sterling Construction Co., Houston, Texas
W. G. Yates & Sons Construction Company, Philadelphia, Mississippi
Trump had previously revealed an image of how the government imagines the wall operating.
Each prototype is costing between $400,000 and $500,000.
A CBP spokesperson said: ‘These concrete prototypes will serve two important ends. First, given their robust physical characteristics, like reinforced concrete, between 18-30 feet high, the concrete border wall prototypes are designed to deter illegal crossings in the area in which they are constructed.
‘Second, the concrete border wall prototypes will allow CBP to evaluate the potential for new wall and barrier designs that could complement the wall and barrier designs we have used along the border over the last several years. As the border security environment continues to evolve, CBP will continually refresh its own inventory of tools to meet that evolution.’

Worker falls down 40ft hole
A man plunged 40ft down a hole at a Mexico border wall construction site.
The worker fell in south San Diego County as firms building wall prototypes for Donald Trump.
He survived without suffering serious injuries and was back at work shortly after.
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesperson Carlos Diaz described the incident as a ‘misstep’.
