Trump: Border wall construction will start on Monday
Washington examiner ^
Posted on 03/24/2018 5:00:01 PM PDT by MNDude
President Trump said Friday that construction of his promised border wall would start "immediately" after signing the omnibus spending bill, which included $1.6 billion in funding for the wall.
"We're going to be starting work literally on Monday," Trump said during an event Friday at the White House. "We have a lot of money coming to the border."
Trump had threatened earlier Friday to veto the spending bill Congress passed on Thursday because it did not include sufficient funding for the wall and because it omitted expiring protections for young, undocumented immigrants.

From what I am reading, the president as commander-in-chief of the military, can use funds from the record breaking big military funding for the wall. All he needs to do is declare wall is necessary to defend the homeland.

Thought Mexico was paying for it all. Doesn’t need the crappy spending bill he back-stabbed us with to start the funding of the wall. Maybe he has a Lego set he’s playing with.

It's a start. We've got 7 more years.
Remember: Obama was going to close Guantanamo on day one.

Mexico is effectively paying for it. Lot less border jumpers since President Trump.
To: Confiscator
They will over time as the President implements FAIR trade.

You are very witty. Do you write jokes for the late-night talk shows? If not, send your resume to Jimmy Kimmel ASAP.
That "maybe he has a Lego set he's playing with" line is pure genius - it is guaranteed to make people fall into the aisles with laughter.
To: entropy12
So THAT’S how!
I read about “Satellites” being funded that nobody wanted.
Suck one LIBS!
