Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, visiting Mexico, says that the United States has the right to build a border wall to halt illegal immigration. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
If Donald Trump is not elected President he has a professed future of being the "Secretary of Not Allowing Businesses to leave" and particularly to Mexico where he will build a wall and they will pay for it. When it comes to jobs Donald Trump believes in American protectionism and maybe that isn't a bad thing with so many jobs and businesses leaving the United States for cheap labor.
Migrants attempt to pull down a section of a barbed wire fence installed by Texas authorities on the Mexico-US border. The tensions on the border come amid an ongoing legal back-and-forth over a Texas law that would allow state police to arrest and deport migrants who cross illegally into the United States from Mexico.

A makeshift migrant camp looks nearly empty in Mexico's Matamoros, at the border with Brownsville, Texas, where Democrat US President Joe Biden is expected to meet border patrol and other law enforcement agents. Also heading to the border is Republican former president Donald Trump, who will be about 300 miles (480 kilometers) to the west in Eagle Pass. The Texas showdown comes at a time when record numbers of migrant crossings into the United States are posing a threat to Biden's chances of preventing a Trump comeback in November's presidential election.
