As Donald Trump campaigns for the Republican nomination for President, Trump vows to build a massive wall to keep out illegal Mexican migrants. “Building a wall is easy, and it can be done inexpensively,” he said Thursday in an interview with The Washington Post. “It’s not even a difficult project if you know what you’re doing.
