President Donald Trump said that his promised “great, great wall” along the United States’ border with Mexico will put an end to what he called “lawless chaos.”

“We want all Americans to succeed, but that can’t happen in an environment of lawless chaos,” Trump said. “For that reason, we will soon begin the construction of a great, great wall along our southern border.”

He said that “bad ones,” including “gang members, drug dealers and criminals” are being deported.
