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.
Hey, pal, that means he has declared a WAR on the US border between Mexico/USA.
War cannot be declared against borders. Only countries, of course.
He certainly has authority to order the military to build things. The only thing I can think of that might stop him from doing this is the eminent domain requirements to for private land holders near the border, as it may require a law passed to seize that land. I don't know.
But I think it's likely that the president could have an avenue this way. The amount of money cited for the whole wall is far less than the military budget that was passed.
He better claim a national emergency and I doubt he will do that.
I understand the USA has been in an official state of continuous national emergency since it was declared by President Franklin D Roosevelt, in which case, that part is already done.
Perhaps they should establish a state of "extra" national emergency.
If Trump t.r.u.m.p.s the Congressional Omnibus Act (the budget without parsing words) after signing it, he is in BIG DEEP DOODOO.
Yeah, right.
And so is Hillary for having a private email server with classified info on it. And for doing pay for play as Sec of State. And stealing the D nomination from Sanders. And a couple dozen other things.
There is no provision of a US/Mexico WALL construction project. There is just a few miles of fencing reconstruction.
Yes, that's generally understood.
Buck, look, you hate Trump. A lot of people really, really hate Trump. I get it, and it's okay. I do see his personal shortcomings. Everyone does. Yes, he's a womanizer. And I don't even care for his policies on civil liberties and foreign policy. He sucks there, though I am hoping that maybe he'll figure out soon that Putin is not the Great Satan that everyone around him has been telling him.
But please just admit your personal hatred and don't pretend that all these lines in the sand and political criticisms are anything but disguised hatred. For anyone who does that, my respect for them will definitely go up. Why? Because I respect honesty. Trump may very well build the wall with the military funds. Certainly, a defensive wall at the country's border can fall within the domain of national defense. But unlike you, I don't have hopes staked on whether it happens or not because the USA is already totally screwed anyway. But good luck to you.
I don't "hate" Trump; I don't like the fact that he represents self-interests and not the common man, is all. I will say, unlike others before him, he doesn't hide behind a "fork tongue."

I think that's the stereotype given he's a billionaire or whatever. But I don't think that's really true. I think he is patriotic and really does want to do what's best for the country and middle class. It's politicians like Hillary that claim to be for the little people who in no way are. The Dem's demonstrated it is first class fashion when they completely threw away the chance to make a permanent deal for Dreamers. Dreamers should understand now that the D's are only using them as a tool, that their predicament is a valuable thing for the D's only as long as their predicament exists, and that after any deal is made for them, the D's will have no more use for them.
Politicians are used to being bought and bribed, but since Trump doesn't need anyone's money, he's not bribeable. At least not with money. Maybe with women, but not money.

And I think that's his appeal to the average person. They are sick and tired of standard political double speak & BS. Trump says what he really thinks. It's sometime vulgar. It's sometimes offensive. But it's real. And people are hungry for a real president who says what he really thinks. That's a *very* refreshing thing, even for women who are otherwise offended by his sexist personal behavior.

I am not concerned with his wealth. I am concerned with "conviction of principle."

Don't they all?

It was part of their strategy to move the 1.3 Trillion dollar Omnibus Act. They won, too.
