If the 63 million who voted for Trump each contributed $60, that would amount to $3.78 Billion !!
RE: but it does appear that using private funds in that way would have to be approved by Congress.

RE: Who is the douchebag that wrote this article?
The author’s name is prominently shown in the post.
I’m interested in knowing why you consider him a douchebag...

Number one, if you give this money to the government it will disappear. Most to bureaucracy. That's what government does.
Number two, if you try to do it privately the government will say this is federal land, only the government can do this, blah, blah, blah.
See number one.
The legal aspects remain unclear. Private citizens are allowed to raise money for the federal government, but they cannot specifically direct the government how to spend those funds.
A citizen can make a general donation to the U.S. government that is placed into a Gifts to the United Sate fund and be used for general use, according to the Treasury Department. Approval from Congress would be needed before the GoFundMe cash could be directed to the Department of Homeland Security.
Kolfage said his group is working with a law firm on several possible options to ensure sure the funds go toward the wall. Republican Mississippi Rep. Steve Palazzo, for example, introduced legislation that would allow for private funding of the border wall. The Border Bonds for America Act of 2018 would let citizens purchase revenue bonds to finance the walls construction.
