Because of the $700 & $716 Billion Dollars gotten to rebuild our Military, many jobs are created and our Military is again rich. Building a great Border Wall, with drugs (poison) and enemy combatants pouring into our Country, is all about National Defense. Build WALL through M!
There is no specific allocation of funds for building a wall. Trump is full of shit.
YOU are full of shit. That money is allocated to the military,and the President can just order the military to do the work without it adding a dime to the budget.
Most of the military has nothing to do with fighting and everything to do with rebuilding and stabilizing countries through medical clinics,airports,train stations,roads,water,sewer,etc,etc,etc. Which means there are a LOT of Army Combat Engineers and their USAF,USN,and USMC equivalents in reserve and national guard units that need construction projects to keep their training up to standards.
On the plus side,all of these units also not only have individual automatic rifles to discourage attacks,they also have crew-served weapons mounted in trucks. Any narco terrorist gang that thinks they can attack these work areas and disrupt blocking their infiltration routes is in a heap of trouble if they try.
Yeah, he needs a little ACT BY CONGRESS to declare a war, correct? He can not misuse or re-allocate funds based on prerogative. It would lead to impeachment.
Section 2 Authorization For Use of United States Armed Forces
(a) IN GENERAL- That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
This authorization has NEVER been rescinded.
Business Insider has reported that the AUMF has been used to allow military action in Afghanistan, the Philippines, Georgia, Yemen, Djibouti, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iraq, and Somalia.

Building a wall or barrier is textbook combat engineer countermobility operation.
