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.

Yeah, I thought there was only going to be 30 miles of chain link fence.

What happened?

Mexico will pay for 10 walls when NAFTA is re-negotiated by the businessman POTUS.

If this starts on Monday as the President says, and I believe it will, there will be liberal heads exploding everywhere.

Now all we need to hear is from Fox who makes sure he doesn’t live in Mexico. Why is that, Fox?

We all know why, don’t we?

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.

Doesn’t the bill specify that he cannot build walls that are REAL walls or look anything like the prototypes he visited in California?

It absolutely boggles my mind that some scumbag actually GOT that into a bill. And I’ll repeat what I said earlier - that scumbag, whoever it is, should be brought up on treason charges... Monday.

I think it specifies that the portion of $ appropriated for border wall repair cannot be used for the prototypes. The thought is that the National defense $ that he will use in this emergency do not have that limitation. We will see.

The President asked for $25 billion.

Rep. Ryan saw fit to give him $1.6.

$500,000,000.00 to daddy’s little princess’ favorite charity, Planned Parenthood. That means 3,000 butchered helpless babies by the end of Monday. And then 1,000 a day and counting. Probably more actually as Planned Parenthood now knows they have him in their hip pocket.

The election would have been the biggest landslide in history if Trump had the character to admit his diabolical plans ahead of the voting. Yes, I would have stayed home and so would have millions more and left my faith in God where it will continue to be as I pray for a miracle to restore some kind of sanity to this once great nation.

Has it occurred to anyone that PDJT will most likely bring the wall in VASTLY under budget and on time...for his 2nd inauguration?

MAGA! :)

The bill is a FUNDING bill. It is not an order from a judge. A funding bill is FOR authorizing spending money for stated purposes. It can not be a negative order stating not fund some thing. That $1.8 Billion was authorized for border security, and may not be used for anything such as a real wall, because it specifically states what it is for. But the monstrous military spending authorization is for the commander-in-chief to spend as he sees fit.
