Trump: Border wall construction will start on Monday
President Trump said Friday that construction of his promised border wall would start “immediately” after signing the omnibus spending bill, which included $1.6 billion in funding for the wall.
“We’re going to be starting work literally on Monday,” Trump said during an event Friday at the White House. “We have a lot of money coming to the border.”
Although the White House requested $25 billion in funding for wall construction, lawmakers included just $1.6 billion in the final version of their omnibus. That money can only go to fencing, however, and cannot be used to build a concrete wall anywhere along the border.
“Not happy with $1.6 billion for the wall,” Trump said.
Still, Trump described the sum as an “initial down payment” on the wall that would allow his administration to begin building it right away.
“This is short term funding, but it’s immediate,” Trump said.
Since he cannot use concrete right now, maybe he could start with a REALLY deep, REALLY wide moat and fill it with gators or land mines or something. He could build a fence on the US side and man it so anyone that did get a across would just be shot. :-)

[Trump: Border wall construction will start on Monday]
PRESIDENT TRUMP is a modern day NEHEMIAH. If you read the account in the Bible, he got the job done despite his enemies.
BUILD THE WALL!
But the NeverTrumpers around here that are flinging themselves on the floor willy nilly kicking and screaming like 2 year olds said there was nothing in the bill to build them wall.
