President Trump will take dramatic actions to fund his long-promised border wall and declare a national emergency, which will enable his administration to move $8 billion from various federal agencies to fund the project, a senior administration official told Fox News late Thursday.
The news comes as Trump is expected to sign a House border security package that provides $1.4 billion for the project, which is far below the $5.7 billion Trump insisted he needed and would finance just a quarter of the 200-plus miles he wanted.
Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, said earlier today that Trump will sign the spending bill and declare a national emergency at the same time tomorrow morning.
The White House said he’d sign the legislation but act unilaterally to get more, prompting condemnations from Democrats and threats of lawsuits from states and others who might lose federal money or said Trump was abusing his authority.

Crawl-over-broken-glass to do the same. Go Trump.
Russel Crowe was great in Gladiator and Cinderella Man. They say the title of Cinderella Man was bad marketing for a boxing movie and hurt sales.
Dear TexasCruzin,
If you think signing this 1000+ bill is fine, it is YOU who is the dummy here. Either that or you are a globalist sympathizer which, by the way, still makes you a dummy.
Get a clue.
“It’s over and Trump has more important things to do.”
More important than stopping a foreign invasion?
“With the bill he’ll sign tomorrow, why waste money on a wall?”
Because it is outside the scope of a national emergency. Which means things like beds, buildings and infrastructure will not be impacted by this bill. Everyone can call it a win. The Republicans keep the government funded, the Democrats get a law passed that won’t do anything and Trump gets a down payment as well as at least 8 billion in national emergency funding that nothing in this bill can touch.
Win Win Win...
Are you just as sick of the President kneeling before them?
It is easy to bitch and bellyache, but tell us if there is someone that could have done more for the country than President Trump.
He has been fighting the Dems, Repubs,and all the media. The house and senate passed this terrible bill with veto proof majorities.
He is doing everything possible.
What’s with the rumor that the Dems inserted poison pills into the language and if he signs the bill it will provide ammo saying he cannot spend any money on a wall?
Or. Everyone know by is about dead an that Trump will prevai!
“With this spending bill, it gives amnesty...”
WRONG!
SMH, if you didn’t read the 1300 pages in the bill; no, it’s not real.
Wow.
Did anyone else just hear the DNC Communication director say (on FNC) “our party doesn’t throw temper tantrums... that’s not what we do”?
Everything these people have DONE for two years+ has been a temper tantrum!
Our God, our President, are being good to us!
Not a rumor. They did.
Good analysis of the Demoron and RINO complicit border bill shit sandwich:
Best President since Reagan. Maybe better. Remains to be seen.
With the immigration provisions in this bill, the wall will NOT MATTER.
There are literally MILLIONS of central american leftists who will arrive within 7months of this bill signing. They will NEVER go away.
In 10 years WE will be a leftist central american country.
If trump signs this bill, the wall will not matter.
Read the provisions.
There will be MILLIONS of people arriving in the next 7 months who will NEVER leave.
B$. A start would be to militarize the border. Declare Martial Law along the entire border and police it with the military.
We don't need high tech cameras to monitor illegals crossing the border any kid with a smart phone can record that activity, it is what happens after they cross the border that matters, nothing else.
Didn't vote for Ike served in Military under Ike. Made 80 a couple three months back.
