The US-Mexico border wall cost US taxpayers billions of dollars.
Portions of the US-Mexico border wall created under the Trump administration have been compromised by migrants using $5 ladders to climb over the structure, according to a new report in Texas Monthly.
The United States Border Patrol reportedly often finds discarded ladders left alongside the wall when patrolling the area.
Scott Nicol, a local artist and activist, told Texas Monthly that the ladders used by undocumented immigrants proved how the border wall, which President Donald Trump boasted about as part of his nativist appeal to Republican voters, was useless in its intended function.
"Unlike the wall, these ladders are functional," Mr Nicol said, adding that "border walls are just backdrops for politicians who want to rile up their voters."
