Trump can use other money in the DoD and DHS budgets for border security


Congress would have to approve president using other funds for the wall.

I’m a bit flummoxed as to how we’ve gone from $5.7billion to $1.375billion now all the way up to $23billion.

I’m confused, but if he says that he has it then I’m all in.




The $23 billion for "border security" only permits $1.375 billion to be spent on an actual physical barrier.

A wall/fence/barrier was started under W, continued under Obama, and will be fixed and finished under Trump over the next 2-6 years.



Bush and Obama collectively spent way more than $1.375 billion on the border wall. Their secret is that they didn't campaign on it or tweet about it or really say a whole lot about it. They didn't politicize it. They just got it done. See the difference?

This is the part where you tell me that the stable genius in charge is a great dealmaker depsite getting less than even a democrat

President Trump knows that he didn't even need any money in this budget for the wall. He has access to 5he money.

If the Dems weren't so damn anti-American, this President could have our country in such great shape it would make your head spin.

Screw Democrat politicians (and several GOPe).

Screw the biased and corrupt news media.

Screw the bought-and-paid-for bureaucrats.

Screw Hollywood.

Screw Academia.

23B is spent to study chinese hookers and some endangered rat in a field in Cally, and 500 dollar hammers for the Navy. Chump change.

physical wall for 23 billion is the best deal Trump can negotiate with contractors, it’s no no wonder he had to file for bankruptcy. There are some contractors and vendors that will dancing in the street.

Graham said this afternoon that there was language in the other funding bills that would make this possible without going back to Congress.

This is as legitimate as when he said he'd end Obama care and lock Hilary up.

Obviously if 1.375B is for just 55 miles of wall that's more than just a bollard wall.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP)—The U.S. government has awarded a Montana-based company a contract worth more than $73 million to design and build replacement fencing along 20 miles (32 kilometers) of the U.S.-Mexico border in southern New Mexico, officials confirmed Wednesday.

Existing vehicle barriers west of the Santa Teresa port of entry will be replaced with taller bollard-style barriers under the contract awarded in January to Barnard Construction Co. Inc., which has its headquarters in Bozeman.

Yep, TDS. Campaigned on it or not, if the orange man wants it it's bad and the obstructionists, I mean the Democratic party, will oppose it regardless.

So how much money is actually going for Wall funding?

Of the 23 billion?

Is that number still 1.37 billion and the rest for other priorities?
