New White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly believes he has convinced President Donald Trump to abandon his pledge to construct a large and lengthy wall along the border separating the United States and Mexico, according to The New Yorker.
At a private meeting in tony Aspen, Colorado, two weeks ago, Kelly told a group of high-profile attendees that he had extensively discussed the border wall issue with Trump. Kelly believes he persuaded Trump to abandon his policy goal of erecting a lengthy wall along the 1,954-mile border which the United States shares with Mexico, according to The New Yorker.
Instead of a wall, Kelly said he suggested Trump could utilize a combination of complex monitoring equipment, continuous air surveillance and many miles of fencing can effectively secure the U.S.-Mexico border.
Such a combination of materials and surveillance would be called a barrier instead of a wall, Kelly told his audience.

LOL. And when Bush said no new taxes he meant a multi-pronged solution that would not raise taxes too much.
Two years ago (July 2015), when Trump visited Laredo, he declared that he was aware the there would not be a wall across the entire border with Mexico...that at some places there would be a patrolled fence, at some a patrolled natural border like a river, at some places technology would be used to prevent passage.
I’m not so sure it’s fake...Sundance at the Conservative Treehouse is worried about this.
That’s because that’s what the leakers are feeding them. Can’t blame them for that.

We need a wall because administrations come and go. A BIG beautiful wall will make it harder for future admins to revert back into old behavior.
No no no! Another administration can just stop funding for it or stop enforcing it. You can unfund an already built wall! A wall works no matter who is in charge. Build the Wall!!
Please remember that in the past, a wall was a synonym for a fence.
This article simply says we're not talking about a solid concrete wall....well duh....look at the designs that were submitted.
Wall = Barrier
I believe this is just a rehash of an old article...inserting Kelly into the mix.
Uh huh. Trump is so inept that he needs his chief of staff to tell him what to do. Trump is so wishy-washy that he needs Kelly to advise him on policy. Yes sir. /Sarc
You haven’t seen the designs. A couple are awesome.
Years ago...Hillary described a Wall along the border as a fence. I’ll try and find it.
Because they cant get back in.
Go back to DU.
Only true if Trump plans on a single term only.
We also voted for healthcare repeal.
That died.
The wall was always a vapor project for me.
The swamp won this round.
And what happens when Trump is gone and a Democrat is in office?
This is total BS. DHS just announced its waiving a bunch of environmental rules so the Trump wall prototypes can be constructed and tested.
An unpatrolled wall isn’t much of an impediment to crossing the border.
