Would it be legal to get the military involved? The Army Corp of Engineers presumably?

Military will build border wall if Pelosi, Schumer don’t agree to pay for it: Trump


Sorry Donald they won’t. Not without shutting the government down. You signed the omnibus bill in which the traitor Paul Ryan inserted a “poison pill”. The new congress will do the same where you will either have to veto it or shut the government down. The bill may stall in the senate, but the result will be the same. Short term chaos to fund operations, or a government shutdown while the house proceeds with impeachment. You should have played hardball with Ryan.

Need $$$ to build the wall...Well here is a way

During WW II the government issued War Bonds to help fund the war effort. President Trump needs money to build a border wall. What would be required for the government and treasury to issue WALL Bonds? I’m sure if Wall Bonds were issued the funds for the wall would be rapidly met. If you think this plan would work, please notify the White House and President Trump

It has taken too long for the administration to take control of this stupid argument. When Clinton cut defense spending and hampered the development of stealth aircraft the CIA stepped in and kept the project going.

The wall should be considered homeland security, or national defense, or infrastructure. How about using NSA funds that are being spent logging our email?

If I were King for a day I'd declare the wall to be more important than congressional perks and travel benefits.

He can do it as a matter of national defense. Which it obviously is

The military has ongoing needs to train helicopter pilots, and to train infantry to operate in remote areas. Going forward, much of this training needs to occur on the southern border.

Our red team against their red team. Don’t shoot anybody but if anyone is found wandering around apparently dazed and confused which direction south is, give them a drink of water and help them find their way back to their homeland.

Didn’t the military build Hadrian’s Wall? What about the Great Wall of China?

Trump can divert funds from the DOD to build the wall of there is a national security risk.

...But they need Democrats to support the proposal in the Senate to pass the 60-vote threshold, complicating any funding negotiations.

Next time Democrats say they will filibuster make them do it. Stand and talk and then when they run out of gas...vote.

Could we close military bases in Blue states and reopen them as fortresses along the border?

”Republicans leading the House and Senate support Trump’s aggressive push for funding."

Republicans are extinct, and the anti-Trump RINO-controlled Congress has fought everything that Pres. Trump has tried to do.

The wall would have been built by now if it weren’t for Obama-supporting RINOs left over from the lawless Obama Administration.

On the other hand, Pres. Trump is doing better than any other president in modern history imo. His main problem is that he underestimated the size of the swamp.
