Oh come on, don't give them any more ideas... they might find a Hawaiian judge, or get a ticket to the Ninth Circus.

The Pentagon has notified Congress that it has authorized the transfer of $1 billion to begin new wall construction along the US-Mexico border
Finally we’re going to PROTECT OUR BORDERS... not just South Korea, or Kuwait’s or Germany’s or the EU’s or or or... FINALLY we can protect our own border.

“And YES, I mention that I met him and shook his hand every chance I get because I don’t have much else to brag about in life so let me have that!! :)”
the only thing on my bucket list is to shake the hand of this great man ... we’re going to be on the lookout for one of those 2-3K/person fundraising dinners and make flight and hotel reservations to attend ...
No doubt, they would be "deemed" a U.S. citizen by some judge due to the bastardization of our 14th Amendment.
However, if we can cut off 95+ percent of the tens of thousands flooding in monthly, it will be a major win. Then, once the bleeding is stopped, we can go for total victory and get our courts and our congress to revert back to the original intent of the 14th.
That last 5 percent of the battle will take a while fighting not only uphill as we currently are, but also with one arm and one leg tied behind our backs.
Yep! Just saw Crooked Hillary’s new tweet on Fox & Friends - about climate change. The responses to her tweet were really against her & really funny!
I'd be willing to bet he's got his eye on that Sarah :)
Winning! More please.

“Wa—Wait a minute, only 57 MILES?!”
They are putting up speed bumps right now. Anything to slow down illegal border crossings while more money is being budgeted.
Is there a percent-o-meter we can view like United Way has to show how much of the necessary funds have been spent as the $$ are spent?
The wall is being built, Trump is victorious, and leftist heads are splitting open and nothing but air is coming out.
You start with 1 billion. Once you get that first money through the entire process the rest is easier. It’s like everything else once you get the first check the rest just come.
Winning!
Great news bump!
It is already too late , 50% of our population is now Mexican
Forced reciprocity would turn the tables right around and would be a virtual takeover of mexico like they did to us
REPRICOCITY NOW or close the border until Mexico stops invading
Lots of winning today.
GET THAT WALL BUILT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s at least 10 times cheaper than Moonbeam Brown’s Kakifornia train to nowhere.
This first $1 billion was from the easiest pot of money to tap into - nobody’s ox was gored.
The Pentagon failed to meet its recruiting goals for the year, so the extra pay budgeted for new recruits that did not show up, was just left over. So nobody is having any money taken from their pet project.
This is the Pentagon’s equivalent of digging loose change from between the cushions of the couch.
Once they start taking the money from specific Military Construction projects (which required the Emergency Declaration), there will likely be much louder squealing.
I guess that any method used this year to re-program funds for the border wall, will likely be dis-allowed in next year’s appropriation (likely the authority to re=program at all). So they will likely have to get all they can done and spent before the end of this Fiscal Year (30 September).
To meet that deadline would require a flurry of contract awards, that will dwarf what we have seen so far in the wall building program. We could potentially see the first new awards as early as next month if they had some task orders all ready pre-solicited, but more likely May and June will see awards starting to drop, and continuing through Summer.
Usually ground breaking is about 10 weeks after award, so as we get toward the end of the year, more and more crews will be working simultaneously.
Its going to be fun.
We needed it in 1987. We needed it in 2001. We needed it 2 years ago.
