      The building of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border is expected to become a reality.

      U.S. President Donald Trump will put several U.S. national security measures in motion tomorrow.

      A White House official confirmed with CNN that U.S. President Donald Trump will take action on Wednesday (January 25) to direct federal resources into the construction of a border wall.

      Today, Trump himself tweeted that he would do so.

      While Trump has repeatedly stated that Mexico would pay for the wall, Mexico has also reiterated it will not do so.

      Meanwhile, Trump is also expected to sign executive orders that will restrict immigration from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, by blocking visas from being issued to these countries.
