EL PASO, Texas—A particular half-mile of new border fencing has brought significant meaning to many Americans that the existing 654 miles don’t hold.

It was built from donations that started pouring in late last year, when combat veteran Brian Kolfage set up a GoFundMe account after Congress failed to appropriate the amount President Donald Trump requested for a border barrier.
