Following a week of executive orders from the newly inaugurated president, several outlets have reported that Trump has signed an executive order for construction to begin on the 2,000-mile wall that will physically divide the United States and Mexico’s border.

Trump also signed a directive to punish “sanctuary cities” by stripping away their federal funding. He is also set to head executive actions limiting and banning immigration from “several Muslim-majority Middle Eastern and North African countries including Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Libya and Yemen.”

“The American people are no longer going to have to be forced to subsidize this disregard for our laws,” promised White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.

Construction could begin in a matter of months.

In August, Trump accepted an invitation from Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to visit the country while on the campaign trail. Trump and Nieto gave a joint press conference regarding immigration ideas for the U.S.-Mexico border.

There, Trump initially stated that no payment plan was discussed:

Just hours after the press conference, he doubled-down on his promise that Mexico would pay for the wall:

In January, following Trump’s electoral win, it was revealed that the American people would be the ones to foot the hefty price of nearly $12 billion. The Trump camp assured that nothing from the campaign had changed and that Mexico would still pay for the wall.

Former Mexican President Vincente Fox has stated several times that neither he nor his country will “pay for that f*****g wall.”
