Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Thursday seized upon news that the White House would be raising the height of its fence, to promote his plan to build a wall along the southern border.

“President Obama understands that you build strong, tall, beautiful walls to keep people out who don’t belong,” he wrote in a Facebook post, sharing an NBC Washington article on the Secret Service’s plans. “People who get permission can enter the White House LEGALLY!”

{mosads}The move by the Secret Service is in response to a series of fence-jumpings in the past year. One man who was carrying a knife made it inside the building before being stopped by officers.

Trump’s signature policy proposal is to build a wall along the southern border to keep out illegal immigrants.
