Gohmert: Funds Already Appropriated for Border Wall — ‘It’s Going to Happen’
Breitbart ^ | 11/11/2016 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 11/11/2016 11:22:58 AM PST by JustaCowgirl

Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) was optimistic about the prospects of President-elect Donald Trump being able to follow through with his campaign promises of a border wall.

Gohmert told “Fox & Friends” co-host Steve Doocy that there has been money already appropriated for the wall and that he was excited about the prospects of Trump “actually following the law.”

“It’s amazing what you can get Congress to do when you lead and push them in the right direction,” Gohmert said. “And actually, you know, we had appropriated money during the Bush administration that didn’t get spent for the wall. So, yeah, it’s going to be great to have somebody that’s actually following the law.”

“I’m surprised money was set aside and wasn’t spent.”

Surprised? I’m not, it was those sorry bastards “the Globalist Booshes” who didn’t spend the money per the Congressional mandate. And while we’re litigating the Clintoons and the Obolas, how about taking a hard look at both Boohes? No one should be above the law. Some high-level people from the last four administrations should have to get lawyers. I’m damned tired of these people being able to skate.

President-Elect Trump, WTP are not yet to the point of STOP!! We’re winning too much.

At the moment it seems the tooth fairy has dropped a bundle under our pillows and Santa left his completely unopened sack of gifts under our Christmas Tree. This WINNING THING...man it sure generates a nice feeling of optimism!

Buildings a wall along the border of the Great Lakes might be a problem. Razor wire doesn't float well! 😉

What happened to Mexico paying for it?

They will. Trump will withhold enough from payments the US makes to Mexico until it's paid for. Let them sue us in the Hague.

Then we can start shipping back their murderers and rapists.

Which will be...

Simple...it’s called a “transfer fee” on all the remittances to Mexico! That’s it!

Yes we do. The flood of illegals is like water. You can't stop it...but you can certainly redirect the flow to wherever you want it to go.

Shipping ports will also need to be beefed up. Miami, Boston, NY, San Diego, Gulf ports, etc.

Louie is right; They not only have the funds from prior fiscal years, they probably still have contracts still in place but not closed out. All sorts of magical things can happen using unused prior year dollars. We may not need new money.

What I’m saying is - I’m surprised they didn’t spend it on something else. Like SS $ and other budgeted money that gets squandered away.
