Campaign Promise: Border Wall and Executive Orders

campaign promise: Trump will find some excuse to turn on Canada, Agustin Barrios Gomez said Wednesday in an interview on CBC News Network's Power & Politics, according to CBC. Barrios Gomez made his comments the same day President Donald Trump moved on his campaign promise to build a wall along the U.S., Mexico border. It's just a matter of time before this administration turns its eyes towards Canada. Trump signed executive orders to jump-start construction of a border wall and block federal grants to immigrant-protecting sanctuary cities. Trump's top economic adviser says Canada isn't in president's crosshairs Trump's 'great wall' How much will it cost Who's paying As a Mexican, I think this is a horrible symbol of ignorance, Barrios Gomez told host Rosemary Barton, adding that it was zero likely that Mexico would pay for the wall or that it would factor into NAFTA renegotiations. Sanctuary cities are jurisdictions in the U.S. that refuse to use municipal funds to enforce federal immigration laws, essentially allowing illegal immigrants to remain there even though they are not supposed to be in the country.
