President Donald Trump has issued an executive order for an "impassable physical barrier" to be built along the US border with Mexico. Mr Trump said in a TV interview with ABC News that Mexico would "absolutely, 100%" reimburse the US for his wall. The executive orders are among a flurry expected on national and border security this week. But if there is one thing around which almost all of Mexico can coalesce, it is their profound opposition to the US border wall. Others go further, and consider the entire border wall to be a racist and xenophobic policy.
