Turns out Donald Trump is a certified time-travelling God-Emperor, a master of the spatiotemporal continuum itself. He snapped his fingers and altered the course of history in the blink of an eye. 'The wall' just miraculously emerged out of thin air. It's already here! What the bloody hell?!

If you zoom in and look real close. No, no, really close. You can actually see the patrolling white supremacist Muslim hating Nazis.

This Is What the U.S.-Mexico Border Wall Actually Looks Like
Our photographer visits the most talked-about stretch of land in U.S. politics.
Story and Photographs by James Whitlow Delano
PUBLISHED March 4, 2016
The candidates for president of the United States, particularly on the Republican side, have hotly debated how to handle the roughly 2,000-mile (3,200-kilometer) border between the United States and Mexico.
Donald Trump has famously and repeatedly promised to seal the border with a wall if he's elected. He and others have promised to send people who illegally crossed the border—a number that appears to have leveled off—back to Mexico. For these people, the border wall isn't an abstraction. Many parts of the border are already covered in fences. In other spots, the wall is not made of bricks, but out of scanners, drones, and guards.
Photographer James Whitlow Delano has visited the border several times in the past decades as these walls have gone up. These are his photos and stories:
In the photo above, the border wall separates Jacumba, California, from Jacume, Mexico, in the high desert. Even after the first border barricade was built here in the mid-1990s to disrupt human and drug traffickers, residents of Jacume could cross freely into Jacumba to buy groceries or to work, and children would be brought across to go to school or to the health clinic. Since September 11, 2001, security has turned a ten-minute walk into a two-hour drive through the official border crossing in Tecate, segregating these communities from each other. After ten years, Jacume, a village of 600, was called "a black hole," where even Mexican federal agents had been held hostage for attempting to extort money from smugglers.
