Trump Making Change To Border Wall To Make It Harder To Climb—
The Department of Homeland Security plans to paint the border wall black to make it harder for would-be illegal immigrants and others to scale.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Tuesday that, under President Donald Trump’s direction, the border wall would be slapped with a new coat of black paint, which will absorb more heat from the sun and make the wall more difficult to climb.
“Now, if you look at the structure that’s behind me, it’s tall, which makes it very, very difficult to climb, almost impossible. It also goes deep into the ground, which would make it very difficult, if not impossible, to dig under,” said Noem at a press briefing in Santa Teresa, New Mexico.
“We are also going to be painting it black. That is specifically at the request of the president who understands that in the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black, it gets even warmer, and it will make it even harder for people to climb,” she continued.
