Impact analysis
The focus on wall construction could divert state funding away from local infrastructure projects that might actually help businesses grow.
State-level policymakers and contractors involved in the border wall project stand to gain the most from this current focus.
Local business owners and residents who need better roads, utilities, or economic development support are losing out.
