Some more from it:

“For funding, Trump could ask Congress to fund wall construction through the regular appropriations process. Or he could ask Congress to re-program billions of dollars that the Obama administration intended for other purposes. Or he could look for money elsewhere in DHS.

“There are funds provided annually to the Department of Homeland Security for construction in the Procurement, Construction, and Improvements Account that could be drawn on to begin construction along the border (perhaps with the need for some re-programming),” noted a senior Republican aide on Capitol Hill.

In addition, Trump could actually try to make Mexico pay for the wall, or at least for part of it. Trump’s plan to do so — a fee on remittances and a fee on visas, which together Trump claimed might raise at least $5 billion — is actually one of the more detailed proposals released during the campaign.

Trump’s final problem, and perhaps the most serious, will be litigation.

DJT should have the wall designed with solar panels stretching its entire length and advocate it as a ‘green energy” project.
