President Donald Trump visited a new barrier on the Southern border on Friday, touting success for his campaign promise to build a “big, beautiful wall.”
“This is the wall,” Trump said to reporters who joined him on the trip. “It looks great.”

The steel border barriers were at the Mexican border of Calexico, replacing existing fencing.
“It’s better and much more effective than the previous wall. And we actually can do it faster and it’s less expensive if you can believe it,” Trump said. “So it’s better, faster, and less expensive.”
Trump spoke in front of a concrete barrier that was shorter but pointed to a barrier constructed of steel slats that could be up to 30 feet high.

“This is – the majority I would say would be in this style,” he said.
Border Patrol chief Gloria Chavez explained to reporters that the wall had already made a big difference on the border, noting that illegal entries had dropped by 75 percent and that assaults against border patrol agents had dropped by 65 percent.
Trump supporters came out to celebrate the president’s trip, waving flags and signs next to the road to the border.

Trump headed to the border with Mexico to make a renewed push for border security as a central campaign issue for his 2020 re-election.
Earlier in the afternoon, Trump hosted a roundtable to highlight the crisis at the border and told migrants an illegal immigrants to turn around.
“The system is full whether its asylum, whether its illegal immigration, our country is full, our area is full, the sector is full, we can’t take you anymore,” he said. “I’m sorry, so turn around, that’s the way it is.”
