The US border strategy has undergone a shift, with a greater emphasis on technology. This approach is seen as a more effective use of resources. The Trump administration has moved away from its initial goal of building a wall across the US-Mexico border.

Instead, the focus is on developing a "smart wall" that utilizes technology for surveillance. This system will include additional cameras and sensors to monitor the border. Congress has allocated a significant amount of funding for this project.

Further details on the smart wall initiative are available from The Monitor, including information on the allocated budget and the scope of the project.
