President Trump slammed news outlets that were misleading Americans by sharing videos of migrants scaling segments of the fence along the U.S. southern border before it was updated with concertina wire as an extra deterrent.
Trump tweeted: The Fake News is showing old footage of people climbing over our Ocean Area Fence. This is what it really looks like – no climbers anymore under our Administration!

They are on the Mexican side of the border waiting to make asylum claims in the U.S. The Trump administration recently implemented a new policy that allows migrants to claim asylum only at official ports of entry. Approximately 100 cases per day are completed and wait times can be as long as six months. More

You built a wall of big Slinkys? What’s it made out of? Will it rust or collapse, it doesn’t look very sturdy.
