The government has committed multiple prototypes to be built, and the best prototype for the wall, like a game show, will be picked by the government. So giant slabs 30 by 30 feet wide and tall are being built on the Mexican border as a trial run for the material to build the wall.
Crazy enough, one of the prototypes is also transparent, as Trump mentioned at one of his many speeches - to prevent people getting clocked in the head with drugs fired from the other side.

Yeah I think they announced this a few weeks back.
The thing is, without the funding, it's all meaningless. Even with partial funding, this will end up being a bridge to nowhere type situation.
If the GOP actually cared about border security and preventing illegal immigration, they'd spend any funds on increased technology for the existing walls and fencing, and do something about the issue of overstaying visa from our friends to the north or other allied nations. Building a wall as a monument to Trump isn't going to do much - because A) it's incredibly expensive for the small benefit (and any study showing it pays for itself is complete bunk) and B) there's just no way to build it across some of the areas, and/or acquire all the private land theyd need.
