In a speech before congress Saturday, Abinader said the barrier would start going up in the second half and would include \u201cdouble fencing along the most complicated stretches, and a simple fence along the rest.\u201d He also said new border controls would include facial-recognition technology, motion detectors, and infrared cameras.<\/p>\n
