U.S.-Mexico Wall

The entire US-Mexico border wall will be painted black to make it hotter and harder to climb, said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, attributing the idea to Donald Trump.

While detentions and deportations to families have been the main focus of the current immigration crackdown, Trump's policy bill passed earlier this summer also allocated $46 million for additional wall construction.

About 0.8 km of wall is being built daily along the nearly 3,218 km border, according to Noem.

The number of border crossings has fallen significantly in recent months, and the Trump administration says comprehensive arrests and detentions are acting as a deterrent to illegal migration.

Speaking to reporters along part of the border in New Mexico, Noem said on Tuesday that the black paint was "especially at the request of the president."

"[He] understands that in the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black it gets even warmer and will make it even harder for people to climb," she added.

Border Patrol officials also say the black paint will help prevent the wall from rusting.

Additionally, Noem said the administration is planning to install more "water infrastructure" along the Rio Grande, which accounts for more than half of the border between the two countries.

While Noem did not provide more details on these projects, Texas authorities have previously installed floating barriers and fortified riverbank fences guarded by state police, local police officers, and the Texas National Guard along portions of the river.

Crossings and detentions of undocumented immigrants have fallen significantly since Trump returned to office, with record levels of approximately 4,600 in July and 6,000 in June — a 92% year-over-year decrease.

During the Biden administration, bans sometimes reached an average of 6,000 per day.
