President Donald Trump ordered the entire southern border wall to be painted black to increase surface heat and make climbing more difficult in hot temperatures. The wall is described as tall and extending deep into the ground to impede climbing and digging. The paint color choice is framed as a deterrent to illegal entry and an incentive for individuals to use legal immigration channels. The measure aims to reduce federal lawbreaking and promote pathways to citizenship. U.S. Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks approved the move and noted that black paint would help prevent rust.
Remember that a nation without borders is no nation at all and we're so thankful that we have a president that understands that, Noem said Tuesday during a press conference at the southern border in Santa Teresa, New Mexico: 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, and today 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.
So we are going to be painting the entire southern border wall black to make sure that we encourage individuals to not come into our country illegally, to not break our federal laws, but that they will abide and come into our country the right way so that they can stay and have the opportunity to become United States citizens and pursue the American dream.
