Perhaps my attitude is wrong but I think this was wrong-headed from the start.

It is very important to me that the Wall is built.
But it is especially important to me that the GOVERNMENT build the wall.

Defense against foreign invasion. It's in the Constitution. I need to see my government care about that, and shoulder the responsibility.

“UPDATE: JANUARY 11, 2019
WE ARE BUILDING THE WALL! You can still donate right now on this Gofundme!! The media is falsely reporting all money is being refunded and it’s over. They are WRONG. WE ARE BUILDING THE WALL and you can STILL donate or opt in if you donated before January 11th TO SUPPORT the plan...

By submitting this request, I am confirming that I would like my donation(s) to go to WeBuildTheWall Inc., the new 501(c)(4) organization created to manage the money raised on Brian Kolfage’s campaign:

Stupid, wrong headline.

I received an email asking me if I wanted them to automatically forward my contribution to the 501(c)4 account OR refund my money. Painless and totally non-panic inducing.

We need to get the funding for the wall and it will be built. This President isn’t a haberdasher from Missouri or a peanut farmer from Georgia or an actor from California or a charlatan from Arkansas or an undistinguished law school lecturer and community organizer from Illinois but a professional builder with a history of success. He knows who will get the job done and he’ll put them in place to do it.

I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t believe a private venture is capable of withstanding the multitude of lawsuits this project will generate.

i’m glad to see Tom Tancredo Still in the fight. He must feel vindicated after all these years.

I donated when the money was intended for the wall directly. I’m suspicious of this redirect. Besides, private construction of the wall seems even more iffy than giving the money to the government to build it. Will it be part of the wall or some private property sections? Messy. Congress should do this directly.

I clicked to have it re-directed — certainly to send a message. And who knows, a privately funded wall might help some families who have illegals running across their property all the time.

My dad always told that “a fool and his money are soon parted” Looks like there are plenty of fools out there.

This will be demolished when the federal government wall is built.

Just say “No!”

Why are all of the stories about this saying that the money is being refunded. It is not! Donators are being given the choice of refunds or contribution to a new organization. I bet most of the money will go to the new organization (mine is). The media is trying to make it look like this is a failure and the money is being returned when it is simply taking a different direction. It is still an amazing achievement and will still result in wall being built.

"-Our highly experienced team is highly confident that we can complete significant segments of the wall in less time, and for far less money, than the federal government, while meeting or exceeding all required regulatory, engineering, and environmental specifications."

PDJT is a successful builder so I’m not sure where Mr. Kolfage is coming from. Maybe there would inevitably be more “chefs” involved in building a government wall than Trump.

Insights welcome.

The GoFund me venture is good to keep the pressure/publicity but it seems folly to me. I can easily see a judge striking this down for however he/she feels fit just like the "national emergency" aspect.

I also think the real cost of the wall is vastly more than $5.7 billion by a long shot in the long run so I think the left will eventually hoodwink us again as in previous immigration battles.

IMHO, we are a citizen ruled nation, our military is staffed with citizen volunteers. Our freedoms and liberty were won with citizen volunteers in the American revolution.

The way I see it our politicians have failed us at every turn...they are disgusting, self-centered, pigs of greed and power for only themselves. They care neither for the safety & security of American citizens or the furloughed Federal Government workers. Both Democrats & Republicans are in the same boat.

Trump is far from perfect...but, at least, he stands for the American people coming first. Therefore, this wall funding by average American citizens in badly needed, for, if five to ten million or more Americans contribute they way they have been doing, with small donations, I can assure you the politicians of both parties will follow suit, in order to protect their low life, useless skins.

Support the Brian Kolfage Wall fund ...today, Americans. the time has arrived for the American people to take back their country from the human scum & vermin politicians of all political stripes!!! Support, our POTUS, Trump.....Build up the Wall Fund, Destroy our disgusting politicians!!!!

I’m going to give my OK to the new approach and look forward to Trump donating $100 million or so to it.

How would the Dems respond to something like that?

More lawyers?
