Army Corps of Engineers.

Let Dems try to stop it.

Yes. Plays perfectly. No shut down forces them to stop it. GOP doesn’t even have to vote on it.

Cancel one of the submarines to pay for it.

A federal judge will stop it in one second flat.

"Military funding. Army Corps of Engineers."

That's exactly where I'm at and said so on other threads. If some bleeding-heart socialist gets a judge to issue an injunction, let the President ignore it. I don't see with any legal wrangling, they could use the Posse Comitatus Act.

"The Posse Comitatus Act is an act that prohibits the federal government from using the armed forces as a posse comitatus for law enforcement, except in cases and circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress."

Obviously, the Executive Branch has Constitutional authority to protect our borders. That is NOT internal law enforcement. The Coast Guard protects our borders every day within our territorial waters.

Trump signed an outrageous bill by Ryan only to secure almost a trillion to rebuild our military. 5 billion or 25 billion would be pocket change to a trillion.

Easy. Some judge will rule it invades the privacy of copulating earthworms, and declare no wall can be built, ever.
