“Drugs are flowing into our country. We need border protection. We need the wall. We have to have the wall. The Democrats don’t want to approve the wall because they think it’s good politically, but it’s not," President Trump told reporters Thursday during his tour of Joint Interagency Task Force South on Florida's Key West.
