“U.S. companies kept adding jobs in February despite the coronavirus scare, as private payrolls expanded well above the pace that Wall Street had anticipated. Employment excluding government jobs rose by 183,000 for the month . . . topping the 155,000 that economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected,” Jeff Cox reports for CNBC.

More than 700 miles of new U.S.–Mexico border wall have either already been built or are in the process of being built, Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf says. Wolf added that the border wall is one of many steps being taken to curb illegal immigration and support Border Patrol officers, Matthew Boyle reports for Breitbart.
