Border policy decision made by Trump provokes widespread agreement among people
In a series of recent announcements, President Donald Trump has set the internet abuzz with his latest border wall initiative. The 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' earmarks a substantial $46.5 billion for border wall construction, but the details of how much of that budget will be allocated for painting the wall remain unclear.
In a surprising turn of events, President Trump, in a bizarre rant, discussed the plans for the wall's colour. According to South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, the President has ordered Homeland Security to paint the southern border wall with Mexico black. The Secretary of Homeland Security claimed the Trump administration hopes the black paint will make the wall too hot for people to climb.
However, the financial aspect of this project is yet to be disclosed. There has been no public statement or disclosure regarding who will finance the painting of the southern border fence with Mexico. Some users on social media platforms have pointed out that the cost of painting the wall, estimated at $6.8 million per mile, could fund healthcare for 75,000 families.
The idea of a black border wall has been met with criticism from many. Users on social media platforms have argued that people can still jump the wall at night, thereby defeating the purpose of the paint. The move has been labelled as a "billion-dollar branding for a xenophobic mirage."

It's worth noting that experts have previously confirmed that the deterrent heat from the paint vanishes within years. With the future of the black border wall still uncertain, the conversation is far from over. Stay tuned for more updates.
