Trump just told ABC News that construction on the southern border wall will begin soon:

All the media heads who will cry foul over the idea that America will pay for the wall, at least initially, need to suck it up and move on. Trump is obviously sticking by his intent that Mexico will pay for the wall. The White House is saying that Mexico will pay for the wall “one way or the other”. Whether Trump can come through on that or not is certainly fair game in the end. But honestly, I don’t care if Mexico never reimburses us for it. The border needs to be secured, period, and it would be a good use of taxpayer money.
