The border wall separating the United States and Mexico is being painted black to make it too hot for migrants to climb.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem revealed the project was a specific request from Donald Trump as the president celebrated ‘ZERO releases’ of illegal migrants into the country.
‘In the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black it gets even warmer,’ Noem said during a press conference in front of the wall on Tuesday.
She noted the structure is already hard to climb and near impossible to dig under, but said Trump’s latest measure will help to secure the American border even further.
‘There will be more added to it as far as technology, cameras, sensors,’ she added.
The black paint, in addition to making the wall so hot to the touch that migrants will not be able to grip onto it, will have a dual purpose of protecting the steel from rust.
Temperatures can reach as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer months in Texas and Mexico, along the lines of the border wall.
The paint job will restore the border wall to Trump’s initial design from his first presidency.
During his first term, parts of the wall along Calexico were being painted black, but the project was abandoned to speed up construction of the wall itself.
But now with more than three years left of his term, Trump has allocated an additional $46.5 billion to the completion of his border wall project.
‘We had an incredible amount of resources allocated to us in the big beautiful bill, because that’s going to allow us to continue construction,’ Noem said.

Solving America’s illegal immigration crisis didn’t require amnesty — just better leadership.
Last week, the Center for Immigration Studies released a study showing America’s foreign-born population dropped by 2.2 million from January to July. While the number of naturalized U.S. citizens increased, there was a staggering 1.6 million-person drop among illegal immigrants. CIS estimated that this represented a 10% decline in the country’s illegal immigrant population.
While determining the number of illegal immigrants always requires estimation, this drop is supported by anecdotal evidence.
“Nurse in US for 40 years self-deports,” a recent Newsweek headline reads.
“Lansing man self deporting to Kenya after 16 years in America,” WILX, a Michigan TV station, recently reported.
In April, the LA Times wrote, “More immigrants opt to self-deport rather than risk being marched out like criminals.”
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says that some foreign leaders have also told her this is happening.
“Over and over again, I’m hearing that hundreds of thousands of their citizens are coming home, voluntarily,” she said.

Of course Dems are going psycho on the black paint and self-deportation.
Others who likely have come in from the leftie cold are all onboard for sending illegals packing…
