Painting the Dems in a corner in 2020 is a winning situation .
This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Tell Kamala no matter where Trump goes, he sees the same hoes...

10 USC 284 (B) (7)

No national emergency declaration is needed to income this law. He’s already sent Army Engineer, Engineer Sapper, and military police Batallions there in the thousands of troops
And equipment too. Along with Public Affairs & Preventative Medicine troops
Something’s up.

[Huskrrrr]

Never, I mean NEVER underestimate this man. OK, Dems carry on as usual.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The shutdown was over nothing if we accept less than the Senate had passed before the shutdown.

[ETCM]

How about the Governors of Texas and Arizona both declare a State of Emergency due to the incoming flood, and the POTUS grants each state a few Billion $ to build border barriers.

[SharpRightTurn]

This is an interesting approach.

Also, Mulvaney keeps saying the administration has already identified other sources of funding in the federal budget that is available to them for use in wall construction. I have not heard any specifics on that, but would like to.

[bigbob]

That’s brilliant! And he can tell Congress this now, and give them a chance to up the ante now and avoid it later.

[Carriage Hill]

“In 10 months’ time...”

BS, give them 10 days, THEN DO IT.

[AndyJackson]

without a shutdown

Why, when we can do the same thing and get a shut down too. It's only my self-absorbed idiot neighbors in DC who think that a shut-down is bad [I do feel for the CG, but that is on Bush. He created DHS, he didn't need to give one of the best outfits in the US to arguably the worst].

[HChampagne]

“El Chapo” could pay for it.

Never do what Bezos wants you to do Mr. President.

Game, set, match...

For whom? He could've done this without the first shutdown, and without a restriction on beds for invader criminals. Heck, he could've done it the first budget Paul Ryan wrote, demanding some wall money back then and maneuvering for more.

[Jim Noble]

The money is only the beginning of the problem.

Congress will pass a law forbidding building a wall. They may very well override a veto. Their donors simply are not going to stand for a wall.

Every foot of wall is going to disturb the migratory pattern of some worm, or squash a butterfly. Every single foot will be the subject of multiple lawsuits.

[SkyPilot]

So cut the military to the bone via re-enacting the Sequester? That’s the “brilliant” idea. Harm the one institution that is most loyal to his administration? The same military that everyone wants to now use to defend our southern border and build the wall? Screw the military, huh? Yeah, what a GREAT PLAN.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

What utter nonsense. This plan isn't in the president's hands at all - it's in the hands of Congress. The sequester can only take place if Congress does not agree to lift the 2011 caps - and does anyone really believe that McConnell and the GOP will not agree to do so? Have we all forgotten that the GOP controlled both houses of Congress for the last two years? Are we all supposed to pretend that McConnell is not pressuring Trump right now to accept the current funding deal which does not give money for the border wall?

This is not a plan at all - it's simply a way to ensure that the Congressional GOP will continue to thwart Trump's campaign promise to build a wall.

how bout using the $15Billion confiscated from Chapo

There goes the Green New Deal.
