President Donald Trump had a suggestion for how Spain could deal with Europe’s migration crisis during a recent meeting with Foreign minister Josep Borrell, according to reports in the Spanish media. According to those accounts, Borrell told his audience that Trump had compared the situation in northern Africa and the Mediterranean to that along the U.S. border with Mexico. During his campaign, Trump had promised to build a wall along the southern border with Mexico and force the Mexican government to pay for it. Though estimates vary, U.S. Customs and Border Protection says that the border between the United States and Mexico is roughly 1,900 miles long. “Everybody in Europe is being affected by this virus, fears of immigration,” he told The Washington Post during the June visit to the United States.
