"Again, we want to see what the final piece of legislation looks like. It's hard to say definitively whether or not the president is going to sign it until we know everything that's in it.

But there are some positive pieces of it. But one way or the other, and one thing you can be sure of is at the end of the day the president is going to build the wall. He said he was going to get it done and he will."
