Donald Trump orders wall to be built on Mexico border

President Donald Trump has issued an executive order today for a wall to be built along the southern US border with Mexico. Building a 2,000-mile wall along the Mexican border was one of his key pledges in the election campaign. Some of the border is already fenced, but Trump says a wall is needed to stop illegal immigrants entering from Latin America. <br/><br/>In 2014, there were an estimated 5.8 million unauthorized Mexican migrants in the United States. Experts have voiced doubts about whether a wall would actually stem illegal immigration. Mr Trump said in a TV interview that Mexico would reimburse the US for this wall. Meanwhile, Mexican opposition figures urged President Enrique Pena Nieto to cancel next week's meeting with US President Donald Trump to protest his demand of payment for a border wall.Mr.Trump also signed an action to strip funds from US cities that are sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants.
