Donald Trump has officially made good on his word about this “wall” between the U.S. and Mexico, today signing executive orders that begin moving towards building it – the goal being boosting border patrol forces and ordering an increase in deportations of undocumented immigrants.
Construction of the wall could begin in months, but planning for the massive project is “starting immediately,” Trump said Wednesday in an interview with ABC News. The funds will come from the U.S., but he plans to have Mexico reimburse the costs.

“I’m telling you there will be a payment. It will be in a form, perhaps a complicated form,” Trump said.
Big day planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow. Among many other things, we will build the wall!
