Despite Trump’s tough rhetoric, Mexico’s foreign minister said he had spoken with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who had told him the border would not be shut.

Officials said facilities for handling the migrants – who for the moment cannot be sent back after they cross the border and request asylum – are overtaxed and understaffed, creating hazardous conditions. Mexico “made a big step over the past two days,” he said, adding that they would have to continue if they don’t want the border closed.

I can agree that President Trump may build the wall to try and avoid the Mexicans to cross over to the USA,but I don't think building a wall will be enough though as who ever want to come to America from Mexico will have other alternative ways to cross over to the USA.
