The Republican platform committee included language calling for a border wall along the U.S. and Mexican border in the draft party platform, getting behind one of presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump's keystone proposals. "The border wall must cover the entirety of the southern border and must be sufficient to stop both vehicular and pedestrian traffic." While embracing some of Trump's proposals, the proposed GOP platform continues the party's previous stance against same-sex marriage, and other socially conservative issues. "This is why we support building a wall along our southern border and protecting all ports of entry," Kobach told Fox News. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, appearing on "On The Record with Greta Van Susteren," said that including the border wall in the party's proposed platform was a "hat tip" to Trump.
