It’s already been authorized and funded, has it not?
The wall was already authorized.
Why should he get a new authorization?
Just do it Trump!
And expose the ones who oppose.
YES, goooood, First time in my life I truly feel we have AMERICAN PRESIDENT
MEXICO!!!!!
The Secure Fence Act of 2006 is all the authorization he needs.
Genius.
I see clutching of pearls, vapors, fainting couches needed.
As I recall, legislation was passed in 2004-2006 to build a wall. Then the idiots in congress de-funded it.
EPA would never allow it.
Did not require a "bill"
Why should there be a new bill?
The wall is already authorized by legislation, and at least the startup is funded.
And the next liberal Democrat president will order it to be torn down.
We don’t want constitutionally low-information Trump fulfilling his campaign promises in ways that actually help to unconstitutionally expand the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.
His campaign promise to have Mexico pay for the wall (100%) is important because there is no clear delegation of powers in the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I for Congress to appropriate taxes for the wall imo.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
In fact, Clause 15 of Section 8 deals with repelling invasions. This suggests that the Founding States didn't have a border wall in mind imo.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 15: To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions [emphasis added];
Note that Thomas Jefferson had indicated that, when in doubt, amend the frigging Constitution.
"In every event, I would rather construe so narrowly as to oblige the nation to amend, and thus declare what powers they would agree to yield, than too broadly, and indeed, so broadly as to enable the executive and the Senate to do things which the Constitution forbids." --Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Note that such a Congress will be able to drain the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices off of the bench.
He has a pen and a phone right?
