Wednesday at the White House press briefing, while discussing President Donald Trump executive order on the southern border wall, press secretary Sean Spicer said, “One way or another, as the president has said before, Mexico will pay for it.”
Spicer said, “The first order is the border security and immigration enforcement improvements, t addresses long overdue border security issues and the first order in that will be to build a large physical barrier on the southern border. Building this barrier is more than just a campaign promise, it’s a common sense first step to really securing our porous border. This will stem the flow of drugs, crime, illegal immigration into the United States and yes, one way or another as the president has said before, Mexico will pay for it.”
“The executive order also provides the dedicated men and women of the Department of Homeland Security with the tools they need and the resources they need to stop illegal immigration from entering the United States,” he continued. “Under the Constitution, the American people get the final say what can and cannot enter our nation and they’ve spoken loud and clearly through our laws.”
