President Donald Trump began to give a vision on Friday about what his proposed border wall with Mexico would look like saying that it would be "see-through," The Hill reported Friday.
"The wall is happening. In fact, you probably saw, you know, we have a wall up there now, and re-renovating it already. It's being made pristine, perfect, just as good as new, though we may go a little higher than that, but that's OK. And we are building samples of a new wall. You know, it has to be a see-through wall," Trump said Friday night at a rally in Alabama.
"If you can't [see] through it, you don't know who's on the other side. Let's say we build a pre-cast concrete wall and now we have people on the other side," he continued. "It's going to stop drugs. It's going to stop a lot of bad things."
Since taking office, Trump has hammered Congress over his campaign promise to build a wall along the southern U.S. border with Mexico in an effort to stem the tide of illegal immigrants coming into the country.
Trump wants Mexico to pay for the wall, but Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has said his country would not and Congress has not fully funded the plan.
