Live Stream: President Trump Full Speech at Department of Homeland Security | ABC News

President Trump Delivers Remarks at the Department of Homeland Security. President Donald Trump has issued an executive order for an “impassable physical barrier” to be built along the southern US border with Mexico.

He also signed an action to strip funds from US cities that are sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants. Mr Trump said in a TV interview that Mexico would “absolutely, 100%” reimburse the US for his wall. Building a 2,000-mile barrier along the Mexican border was one of his key pledges in the election campaign.

Mr Trump spoke of a “crisis” on the southern US border as he signed the actions during a ceremony at the Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday.

“A nation without borders is not a nation,” he said. “Beginning today the United States gets back control of its borders.” Mexicans might disagree about a lot – especially on the political and economic direction of the country.

But if there is one thing around which almost all of Mexico can coalesce, it is their profound opposition to the US border wall.
