Washington: The arrest of Indians trying to sneak into America has dropped by a whopping 56 per cent due to the construction of a concrete wall along the US-Mexico border in California, a top official has told President Donald Trump. The Trump administration is building a wall along the southern Mexico border to prevent the influx of illegal immigrants into the country.

Felix Chavez, Chief Patrol Agent of the Del Rio Sector, told Trump during a round-table in California on Friday that the border wall in his sector was constructed in eight months from February to October. The President visited the Del Rio Sector to have a first- hand inspection of the wall. Chavez said illegal entries decreased by 75 per cent.
