⮞ Trump uses Military Funds to Pay for the WALL ⮜

The President Takes a Campaign Donation
From the Pentagon

Trump uses more military funds to pay for the Big, Beautiful Border Wall.

Nice 'FENCE' Mr. President, Very Nice 'FENCE' Sir!

Source: NYT
Quote:

That “big, beautiful wall” President Trump never tires of carrying on about is becoming one of the most expensive campaign stunts ever. It is a potentially unconstitutional one as well, as the Defense Department prepares to divert more billions of dollars authorized by Congress from a variety of weapons programs to generate bragging rights for Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign.

On Thursday, the Pentagon formally notified Congress that it would divert $3.8 billion to the Department of Homeland Security to build about

177 miles

of fencing along the Mexican border. That will bring to nearly

$10 billion

what the administration has taken from defense accounts for wall construction, after a skeptical Congress authorized only $1.375 billion........continued

Their own Frustrated & Biased MSM has this to say about them:

Source: NYT
Quote:

..........Congress, aware that the wall is costly nonsense, ought not allow itself to be sidestepped. It could vote down the state of emergency — and the White House veto that would follow. It could then finally embrace its duty to write a long-overdue comprehensive immigration bill, based on American traditions of tolerance and humanity, that would include a reasonable and functional border barrier...........

Congress keeps whingin' that it's Unconstitutional.......yet they haven't even tried to do anything whatsoever about their complaint......they don't even need the Supreme Court, & they know it.

So, why are they sidestepping the issue?

What are they afraid of?

Could it be they know that 'The Wall' is more popular with the People than any of their precious so called 'Pwesidential Candydates'?

Trump is going to build the WALL ....... Trump is going to build the WALL ....... Trump is going to build the WALL ....... Trump is going to build the WALL .......

The Navy’s own ability to maintain its attack submarines has been strained in recent years, as the four public naval shipyards are overwhelmed with work on the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines and the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, with Los Angeles- and Virginia-class attack subs being the lowest priority work. These SSNs have often seen delayed inductions or delays once in the shipyard due to the workforce being tied up with higher-priority availabilities such as the Mexico-class fence and Trump's limo.

Mexican enemies of America failed to pay a piece of peso and California ought to be Mexican. The wall fell south of the border and drug-lords are carving up the profits .

Has Mexico coughed up?

It wasn't necessary to threaten Mexico with a continual onslaught of draconian tariffs & the likes any longer. The new trade agreement/treaty ....
the 'USMCA'
..... was jointly signed into law, & it insured that Mexico, for it's part, would be a very willing 'partner' in helping facilitate America's desires of a safe & maintainable border to the benefit of both nations.

As you know, no longer will asylum seekers be allowed to enter the USA until they are fully vetted & cleared by the USA for entry. While awaiting a determination on their claims for asylum, the asylum seekers must await the verdict in Mexico, regardless how long that may take, & having never been permitted to set one foot onto American soil. If they satisfy American scrutiny, they will eventually be permitted to enter the USA under strict conditions of immigration & assimilation.

Mexico has agreed to accept the cost of their part of this undertaking, on their side of the border. So even though their funds aren't being used to directly pay for the Wall as such, those costs they are footing, is considered their contribution to the American Wall effort, & their financial undertaking in this matter is considered to be quite substantial.

I wasn't sure if the new wall would be fitted with electronics, but it seems it will be. Note the open ground that tribes of illegals could run across before, straight into the US. No chance now, not with all that's being installed

No no, it's a big beautiful wall, not a fence. Mr Trump promised something you can see from space. Remember, if there's one thing Mr Trump's good at, it's building things. Mr Trump said.

Why not? Mr Trump never said it had to look nice. He never even said it had to stop people climbing over, or digging underneath - or even sawing through.

Panther? That's right, no?
