President Trump said Wednesday he will only sign an immigration bill to protect thousands of younger illegal immigrants if it includes money for a southwest border wall, quashing speculation that he is open to a deal that boosts border security without wall funding.
“It’s got to include the wall,” the president told reporters at a joint press conference with his Norwegian counterpart. “We need the wall for security. We need the wall for safety. We need the wall for stopping the drugs from pouring in.”
