...and it’s believed Trump’s folks have identified $4B for which they can reallocate to the wall.

Sounds like 250 miles of new barrier are on the way.

There is 4 billion in a treasury fund that's just sitting there unappropriated.

By giving him any money at all they are identifying there is a need for a wall, no?

So couldn't he then just reallocate miltary funds to build the rest? How could a court step in at that point?

BUILD THAT GD WALL

Yeah? Try driving into one. Be sure to wear your seatbelt for the outside chance it might do something. Don't be going over 30- we want to hear about the results.

I was going to post this earlier.

Everyone is freaking out saying NO DEAL.

1. 1.3BB has been funded and is mainly for maintenance of existing wall and could build an additional 25-30 miles of wall...I know, big deal

2. 1.7BB in new deal that will add +60 miles of new wall.

Trumps team has hinted at identifying 4BB to reallocate that would build over 200miles. How is this different than Declaring a State of Emergency?

So Trump would get the Wall (250-300 miles of big beautiful steel barriers), $3bb coming from negotiations from Dems funding a wall that is "immoral" and $4bb of money just sitting there that congress has no idea what to spend it on.

That's a WIN...unless you are in the mindset that Trump HAS to get the Dems to fund the 5.6BB he requested and no other way will work. Pretty shortsighted.

Get shite done and let the results speak..."economy".

No Dem can be a part of giving Trump money for a Wall...period. It's all about words, and political cover. Both sides.

Bottom line. Wall is going up, and that is what counts. And Trump has said that it will go up "fast". The buildup for next years election will be Dems protesting/resisting a Wall that is proving it's purpose, I.e., stopping the flow of drugs, human traffic, gangs and outright Socialist slackers who come to cash in on OAC's "not willing to work" stipends.

Trump is in the catbird's seat to '20. Once He wins then, it's game, set and match for the Global Democratic Socialist Movement. At least in their current (anti-American) form.

It doesn’t really matter what you or I think.
The folks who have made careers out of border security say it will...so I’ll default to them.

No shite, why are there walls around a Nascar track? Why are there walls around animal exhibits at zoos? Why are there walls every where you go? It's definitely not because they keep things in or out.

SO that is $4bn from Congress and another $4bn he can lay his hands on with out declaring a National Emergency.

Just do it and each side can claim victory
