RIO GRANDE CITY — Just a few weeks before taking office, President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team has already taken steps toward fulfilling his campaign promise to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo.
“My understanding is that the sectors have been asked by headquarters at the request of the transition team, ‘Tell us where you think we ought to have a wall,’” Cuellar said.
“I can tell you about the one in Laredo; they basically said no wall,” Cuellar said referring to the Laredo sector’s response. “But, nevertheless, they said ‘No, that’s not good enough, come back and tell us where we ought to put fence, wall, structure, whatever you want to call it.’”
