Trump shows off section of border wall in San Diego

The President was riding a string of wins on the wall and immigration. He called it an "exciting project," adding that, "we have a wall that the likes of which very few places have ever seen."

San Diego: President Donald Trump on Wednesday capped a three-day trip to the western United States with a visit to the border wall in San Diego, where he showed reporters details of the ongoing construction.

Trump called it an "exciting project," adding that, "we have a wall that the likes of which very few places have ever seen."

The President was riding a string of wins on the wall and immigration.

Arrests on the Mexican border arrests plunged well beyond the usual summer dip in August.

Last week, the Supreme Court gave Trump a green light to deny asylum to anyone who passes through another country on the way to the US border with Mexico without having sought protection in that third country.

At the same site last year Trump saw wall prototypes, which were destroyed to make way for 14 miles of steel bollards currently under construction.
