Trump on the Wall: ‘We Have Miles and Miles of It Being Built Right Now, Hundreds of Miles Are Under Construction’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Well, I think what happened is I have proven to be right. If we were able to build the wall, now I have gotten the money for the wall and you take a look at this. I hope you are covering it because we have miles and miles of it being built right now, hundreds of miles are under construction and more importantly, they are under contract. I think 157 miles right now is under contract. They are getting ready to start. The Rio Grande, we are doing a lot of work there, that’s where a lot of people come in. I have shown the people that I was right. I mean, this is what's been happening for a long time. It’s been happening for a long time. They didn’t even put down the numbers. They didn’t used to put down the real numbers. You look at what’s happened, in the old days they didn’t mark down, they didn’t say how many people were coming in. What we’re doing is the gang members don’t get in. And if they do get in, ICE is getting them out, the bad ones. We have a lot of bad ones, you know, that want to get in. And when you look at the caravans, they are composed of people that, I’m sorry, but they are not supposed to be coming into our country and we’re stopping it. But what we will be doing is now our system is full. And I told our people today, our system is full, we can't take any more. The asylum is being scammed,, the whole asylum system. You have gang members, tough people, saying they are afraid to be in their country. They're not afraid. And then they'll come up with flags, they're holding flags from their country."
