“And still there is no wall.”

A Note on Wall Funding

It could take until October 1, 2031 to build the wall.

It won’t be finished for over nine years simply because of annual funding limitations.

From the “moderate” bill:

“AVAILABILITY OF BORDER WALL SYSTEM FUNDS.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Of the amount appropriated in subsection (a)(1)—
(A) $2,241,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2018;
(B) $1,808,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2019;
(C) $1,715,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2020;
(D) $2,140,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2021;
(E) $1,735,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2022;
(F) $1,746,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2023;
(G) $1,776,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2024;
(H) $1,746,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2025; and
(I) $1,718,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2026.
(2) PERIOD OF AVAILABILITY.—An amount made available under subparagraph (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H), or (I) of paragraph (1) shall remain available for five years after the date specified in that subparagraph.”

By restricting funding, they are making it impossible for Trump to build his wall system during his Presidency.

I have a feeling Trump will figure it out.

So what you are saying is the wall will be built by 2031.

As long as the Presidency, House, and Senate NEVER falls into the hands of the Democrats for the next 13 years.

Very little faith that is going to happen.

They want him to fail. The traders! The wall will pay for itself as soon as we get to quit educating, feeding, housing, and providing medical care for illegals.
