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 doesn't even have to give a reason,never mind explain anything.
If the USA operated under your oversight, I could understand the perspective. But, the USA doesn't; it operates under the US Constitution, which has three major groups to keep a check on the government.
The US Constitution requires communication between the major divisions of the federal government and particularly, the US Congress and the Administration.
