数百家企业已经表示有兴趣帮助修建美国总统特朗普的南部边界墙。不过其中只有一家来自墨西哥。

而这唯一一家来自墨西哥的企业名为Ecovelocity。公司位于临近墨西哥城的普埃布拉，主要出售廉价的工业LED灯。Theodore Atalla是该企业负责人。作为一名希腊裔埃及人，他在墨西哥已经住了将近有20年了。

Atalla said his lights, mostly imported from China, are cheaper than his competitors.He wants to provide lights for the wall that many people in Mexico hate.
Atalla表示他们公司出售的灯具大部分都是从中国进口来的，比其他竞争者价格都要低。他想要为许多墨西哥人憎恨的边境墙提供灯具。

It would only be on the Mexican side because I don’t think we would be allowed to work on the other side, Atalla said in an interview.“They said they only wanted American products.”
“我们公司应该只是为墨西哥这一侧的墙提供灯具，因为我觉得美国应该不会允许我们在他们那一侧工作，” Atalla在一次采访中如是说。“他们说只想要美国自己生产的产品。”

还有另外两个墨西哥公司向路透社表示，他们也很愿意参与这个项目。
