    ALMOST a year into US President Donald Trump's first term, the border wall he passionately promoted throughout his election campaign amounts to eight prototypes, no more than 30 feet long each, sitting in a desert outside San Diego.

    No funding has been appropriated by Congress to advance the project beyond the testing phase. There's no final design. And despite Mr Trump's rallying cry that Mexico would pay for the barrier, that country hasn't contributed a peso.
