A wall on the 2,000-mile border between the U.S.and Mexico was a signature campaign promise for Trump as part of his pledge to cut down on illegal immigration.
Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly says parents and children caught crossing the Mexican border illegally won't be separated unless the "situation at the time requires it".
Kelly replied that he's not as concerned as he is with the southern border with Mexico and would actually like to see the northern border "even thinner", reiterating comments he made during a visit to Ottawa last month.
"President Trump knows that I'm looking at every variation on the theme-the wall makes sense here, high-tech fencing makes sense over here-I have no doubt he'll tell me to go and do it", Kelly said.

His numbers climbed in Southeastern Conference games, where he averaged 14.0 points and 6.1 rebounds. Key released a statement later Monday afternoon about his decision.
With a budget thought to be somewhere between US$10 billion and US$25 billion, truly anything is possible when it comes to the unprecedented project. It is "unlikely that we will build a wall or physical barrier from sea to shining sea", he continued, adding that he is "committed" to constructing a physical barrier wherever it is recommended. Namesake of the Roman emperor who built the wall that once marked off the northernmost edge of the ancient empire - the wall that still stands in ruins in the United Kingdom today - Hadrian Construction Company has proposed a wall constructed in prefabricated panels.
"We confront sophisticated and adaptable adversaries and we are dedicated to maintaining our vigilance as we work to counter these threats to our national security", said Kelly, named to his post in January to oversee a DHS staff of 230,000.
Senator John McCain asked if Mr Kelly's agency was receiving help from Mexican officials.
"It's not going to happen. We're not going to sign a blank check for a wall that we know isn't going to get built". But Democrats have vowed to block funding for the barrier and Republicans are wary of lumping the border request in with a broader spending bill to prevent a government shutdown before the April 28 deadline. It's embarrassing. It makes no sense. "It's frustrating to me", McCaskill said. Part of the president's "extreme vetting" plan involves scanning people's social media accounts for suspicious content and probing their ideological beliefs. That's a signal that fewer people are trying to sneak into the U.S. Duke was grilled on wall costs by the Democratic members of the same committee in early March during her confirmation hearing. The company also wanted to know if they would be indemnified against any liability in case they had to use their firearms. At the time, a full 442 lawsuits were filed by the United States government against American property owners, who were either trying to keep their land or get more money for it. CNN's investigation found that most of those landowners lost their court battle, and 93 of them are still going. And guess what they're going to do with ideology?
