Corps of Enigineers have many decades of building dams.

The Seebees have many wars under their belt building infrastructure.

DJT is their CIC.

Seebees can also provide suppressive fire to hostiles engaging from the South should that occure

I disagree with you. Give the military reauthorization to build it meet the specs of national defense, then stay out of their way.

“The Alaska Highwaywasbuilt over a thousand miles over the Canadian and Alaskan tundra in a year, including the arctic winter.”

When America was great and can-do. Now everything has to be run through an army of environmental and leftist busy-body lawyers.

The military should build the wall. Lay some mines while they’re down there, too.

What countries in the world have walls or border fortifications that are not not patrolled by their military or armed security? ?
Not many
None that are nuclear powers

We built a damn wall in Baghdad to secure the Green Zone. Putting one down South should be easy. There will be a lot less gun fire directed at our troops.

It’s the only way it gets built. It will never be funded and it will never be approved l hope Trump realizes that now.

The Army Corp of Engineers and Seebees build lots of things.

See bees, corps of engineers, Joe’s construction, HomeDepot, beavers.

I don’t care at this point.

Just get it done.

It really is bizarre...We defend other country’s borders all over the world but we can’t defend our on for some reason.

Dialated pupils = cocaine, meth. Recent eye test..? Ehh....NO.

This woman did NARCOTICS right before a nationally televised interview.

I hope it starts at the Texas gulf coast, at Brownsville, then heads west all the way through Arizona. Then, once it reaches the AZ CA border, along our southern border, it stops...in Yuma.

Let CA fend for itself and come begging for a Trump Wall.

I would bet that if the Donald put out a call for retired heavy equipment operators and construction workers, he would get flooded in a week with volunteers.

I know of 4 right now who would do it, one being myself.

"...dialated pupils and narcotics..."


Hopefully their use of drugs won’t have material impact on the wall.

In keeping with Trump’s campaign promise, he must have meant that the Mexican military will build the wall.

430days in office: 0 miles, 0 feet, and 0 inches of new wall built

You are out of the loop.

Read threads from last night and this morning.

Did you read the 'Letter' to the House & Senate?

The Wall is funded.
