My latest: The only way a #BorderWall will get built is if @realDonaldTrump uses executive power to do it. The president has the funds available & the authority to build the wall on his own without congressional approval.

Maybe he can get the money elsewhere.

I prefer he break the Democrats first.

I’m with McConnell. 60 votes.

Break the bastards.

And some Obama judge will stop him for who knows how long. Best to keep this in his back pocket for now.

If more people were sure the money raised for the wall on GoFundMe were really going to the wall, it would skyrocket.

I am very sad with republican party. Remember Trump worked so damn hard to get the party majority for the mid-term? And they promised to get him the wall? And now they leave him alone, siding with enemy and ignore 50 millions American who voted for the wall. Unlike Democrat, Republican party do not stand with American people. They have to stop calling themselves a Lincoln’s party because it’s such disrespected for Lincoln.

Trump doesn’t always show it because he is a skilled negotiator and clever business man. So while the media gets worked up looking for ways to make a scandal of leaving Syria they haven’t even noticed that we will not be spending billions there next year ...billions of already allocated defense dollars that can now be used to defend our border.

If any of this fails..all the border states have to do is declare secession since the federal government will not do its constitutional duty and protect its borders.

Throw the whole thing into a constitutional crisis and lets see if the scum sucker elites have the guts to do something about it.

The problem is not raising the money but the authorization to spend it. Trump can have all the money in the world but he cannot spend a dime of it with authorization from Congress.

The Wall will never get built - even if Congress does appropriate the money.

First step - federal judges will issue environmental injunctions, or discrimination injunctions, or both.

Ted Kennedy's INA 1965 forbids immigration policies that discriminate on the basis of national origin or religion, which is how the Left stopped Trump's Executive Order to block immigration from terrorist countries.

Trump has shown no inclination to do anything about judicial obstruction except to follow the usual multi-year appeal process. Since Trump uses pro-immigration Department of Justice lawyers to argue his case, the final verdicts are already in.

Trump does have the option to ignore the injunctions and spend un-budgeted Executive Branch funds to build The Wall, but he would have to risk impeachment.

Most likely, even that potential solution would fail....

Trump has retained so many Obama appointees, and Trump has appointed so many center-left executives, the Deep State bureaucracy will block, obstruct, or slow walk every decision he makes about The Wall.

Let’s do whatever it takes. We can pay for it ourselves if necessary.

We can do it out of the military budget per the 2006 authorization bill.
