In 2016, a staple campaign promise from Donald Trump on his road to presidency was the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and on January 18th, 2017 this campaign promise was etched closer to reality. On said day, Donald Trump signed an executive order which, coupled with other crackdowns on immigration, called for the immediate construction of a border wall (Davis).
