Reuters reports: “The funds were drawn from a variety of sources, including cost savings, programmatic changes and revised requirements, and therefore will have minimal impact on force readiness,” Shanahan said in a statement.

About $600 million comes from money we were going to spend on the Afghan Military.

No word yet on where the 80 miles of barrier will go, but DoD has been very fast on the draw awarding contracts so far, just weeks after the money is transferred.

The Democrats claim this is a humanitarian crisis. They obviously don’t care about the suffering many aliens children go through to get here or the suffering of US citizens who are victimize by some of them once they get here. All they care about is the political points they can score against Pres. Trump and the votes they think they can garner from the illegals. Except for about a third of Congress, the rest have failed America in a big way.
