The Minister of Internal Security Christie sleep said on Tuesday that the entire border wall along the southern border with Mexico will be painted in black to make it hotter and deterring illegal immigration – and it is the credit for the idea.
During a visit to a portion of the wall in New Mexico, Naim spoke, where she also picked a cylinder brush to help the painting.
The peak of the wall as well as depth was described as ways to deter people who seek to go to the walls or under the walls. Nom said that internal security would try to paint black to make the metal more hot.
“This is precisely at the request of the president, who realizes that at hot temperatures here when there is a black thing, it becomes warmer and it will make it more difficult to climb.
The US Border Patrol, Mike Banks, who attended the event with Naweeem, said the paint will also help deterish the rust.
During the first period of Trump, building the wall was the main axis of strict immigration policy. During his second term, the public deportation agenda with arrests in the interior of the country was the main focus, but internal security will get about $ 46 billion to complete the wall as part of a new financing approved by Congress this summer.
Naim said that they build about half a mile of the barrier every day.
“The border wall will look completely different based on the terrain and geography that has been built,” she said.
In addition to the barriers like the barriers it visited on Tuesday, the department also works on the “water infrastructure.” Long sections of the border with an area of about 2000 miles between the United States and Mexico are located along the Rio Grande River in Texas.
The Trump administration is pushing forward to complete the wall at the same time that the number of people crossing the border illegally decreased.
