Texas lawmakers are reportedly defunding the state's project to build its own border wall with less than 10% of the project completed.

The Texas Tribune detailed this week that the initiative, announced four years ago, has cost $3 billion and covers 8% of the 805 miles identified for construction. Some 65 miles of wall have been built in different parts of the state, with the Tribune noting that some parts are "naturally uncrossable or already covered with spans of federal wall."
