President Donald Trump on Wednesday ordered construction of US-Mexico border wall to begin.
The President spoke tough on immigration as he moved to fulfil his key campaign pledge.
"A nation without borders is not a nation," Trump said, echoing former president Ronald Reagan, as he visited the Department of Homeland Security to sign two executive orders for the concerned officials to begin design and the construction of the physical wall.
During Trump’s election campaign, he pledged to stem down on immigration crisis. He vowed to build a 3,200-kilometer border between the United States and Mexico and make Mexico pay for it. Subsequently, Mexican government has repeatedly said it will pay for the border construction.
Some of the border is already fenced with President Trump saying it sole purpose is to bar illegal immigrants from crossing over from Latin America.
