Rep. Kevin McCarthy says Congress may not sign off on Trump's wall with Mexico

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy suggests Congress may not sign off on President-elect Donald Trump's wall with Mexico.
 
The California Republican tells reporters that the House will get to work right away on border security legislation. But McCarthy says there may be other ways to achieve border security than a wall -- such as drone technology.
 
"No. 1 is it has to have a secure border. That may be a wall all the way through, or there may be other ways," McCarthy says.
 
Trump campaigned on the promise to build a solid wall on the U.S. southern border and to make Mexico pay for it. In a CBS' "60 Minutes" interview aired Sunday, Trump said that he'd accept fencing in place of a wall in some places.
 
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell also refused last week to endorse a full-on wall as the solution to border security.
