Trump called the construction of the border wall “vital” because human and drug trafficking take place at what he called “soft points” of the border – or parts without fencing. “Hundreds of miles are already under construction or soon to be under construction," the president told host Sean Hannity. “We’re capturing people that are coming in illegally,” Trump told Hannity. “If you go to a lot of the generals they will tell you this is a national emergency,” Trump said. In February, construction began in San Diego to replace up to 14 miles of barrier along the Mexican border, the fifth border wall project of his presidency.
