Why isn’t he transferring the money he promised. Why is he not spending the $1.4 Billion passed by Congress. Why are troops and razor wire not being deployed. What the hell is he doing?

He already explained some of that. He doesn’t spend the $ until the contractors get all of the work done and done correctly.

More to the point—why isn’t he stopping the inflow in the way he is constitutionally able, backed up by the courts?

To get the commies on record that they don't care about border security.

"Why isn’t he transferring the money he promised. Why is he not spending the $1.4 Billion passed by Congress. Why are troops and razor wire not being deployed."

3-6 months of contracting lead time. Bidding doesn't start until the money is received/certified, after award there is a month or two to start work.

Troops are currently deployed emplacing concertina, among other border functions. Their mission has been extended through the end of the Fiscal Year, during which time they are expected to emplace a few hundred miles of concertina.

You do know why he isn't "transferring" the money he "promised", right?

I will take you at face value and assume that you aren't someone who signed up to troll and be disruptive.

I presume you are speaking about the money he "promised" from the military fund, the asset forfeiture fund, and last of all, the Emergency fund (all separate from the $1.375 billion included in the budget?

You do know that he plans to take that money in stages except for the budgeted money? That is, he will use the $1.375 billion to build as much as he can, then he will begin to tap into the money sources if it is needed.

The key to this is (I operate on the assumption that you do indeed wish to hear this, and aren't just a newly enrolled troll or leftist) is that no lawsuits can be filed by the Left until those other sources are tapped into.

Furthermore, this contentious process has the salutory effect of bringing the cost down as vendors scramble to bid on the available funds (Company offers to build 234 miles of border wall for $1.4 billion)

Does that answer your question? I presume you really did want to know "what the hell" he is doing.

What are you talking about? There is razor wire on the border, some are throwing a fit about it. There is also military on the border.
