SAN DIEGO — President Donald Trump signed his name on a newly constructed section of the U.S.-Mexico border wall, calling it a"world-class security system" that will be virtually impenetrable.
"It was like a sheet metal, and people would just knock it over like just routinely," Trump said, referring to the initial layer that was replaced. He stood with construction workers and top Customs and Border Protection, Army Corps of Engineers and homeland security officials. Trump highlighted features of the wall, which he said have been studied by three other countries. He said the wall absorbs heat —"You can fry an egg on that wall." The concrete goes deep into the ground to prevent tunneling. And agents can see through it to spot possible threats on the Mexican side of the border, he said.
"We're all thrilled," Trump said."You know Mexico has never done anything to impede people from pouring into our country and now they're doing just the opposite. They've really been incredible." It has built 66 miles , has 251 miles in various stages of construction at 17 sites and has contracts for 163 miles planned in the next 90 days, the general said. Additional land on private property is expected to take more time.Trump, whose construction targets have shifted, said he expects to build up to about 550 miles of wall along the 1,954-mile border and said the administration will pause at about 400 miles to assess what more is needed.
