And South Texas correspondent Sandra Sanchez explains why CBP says it's putting border wall through areas previously exempted by Congress, including the National Butterfly Center.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed to Border Report on Tuesday that they have awarded a contract to build 34 miles of border wall through the Rio Grande Valley from Rio Grande City to Weslaco, including through the National Butterfly Center, and other areas that previously had been exempted by Congress, including La Lomita Chapel, Bentsen State Park, Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, and historic cemetaries.
