What part of hiring 100K civvies, basic’ing them in the COE building the wall while training for their best-fit position in their chosen new branch after a year, producing near-instant readiness, don’t you like?

I didn't read the entire 2,232 page bill, and I am not sure what you are talking about.

Here is the PDF of the entire bill that is now law (because President Trump signed it):

http://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20180319/BILLS-115SAHR1625-RCP115-66.pdf

Multiple new reports, and multiple GOP House and Senate members have confirmed that this bill prohibits contruction of the border wall.

Here's another:

The measure does include $1.6 billion for physical barrier construction along the U.S.-Mexico border, but prohibits a concrete wall in favor of secondary fencing and 33 miles of new barriers.

That's it.

No agency, including the Army Corps of Engineers, ain't building the wall. Not under the guise of training, a flood plain,or anything else.

Some fencing repair, and some new "barriers" for 33 miles.

No more.

I read that, but when I looked up the difference between the Omnibus and Budget this is what I came up with:

Budget Bill - definition of Budget Bill by The Free Dictionary

Define Budget Bill. Budget Bill synonyms, Budget Bill pronunciation, Budget Bill translation, English dictionary definition of Budget Bill. n. 1. a. An itemized summary of estimated or intended expenditures for a given period along with proposals for financing them: submitted the annual budget...

Omnibus bill - Wikipedia

An omnibus bill is a proposed law that covers a number of diverse or unrelated topics. Omnibus is derived from Latin and means “for everything”. An omnibus bill is a single document that is accepted in a single vote by a legislature but packages together several measures into one or combines diverse subjects.

So what I am thinking, President Trump can use some of the ‘for everything’ monies and do the wall in some parts the way he wants...

Also, when all of this came up while he was President-Elect, there were some contractors who said they would help build the wall without any pay from him or the Government...and there was talk that anyone who wanted could buy a ‘brick’ with their name on it to raise funds to build the wall...

American People who love this Country will do a lot of things to help, they just need to be pointed in the right direction so many either one of the above could be looked at...

I’m not giving up on Our President EVER and I’m not giving up on Our Country EVER...so let us get our heads together and see what WE can do!!!

Take a look at the wall samples. A couple made from steel and not concrete. Today there are many new products on the market.— Even poured plastics made of soy and corn. ( They weather better than concrete too). Let our farmers and steel workers provide the materials TRump would know He’s a builder.

Don’t confuse a US border wall with a training defensive barrier built to defend against enemy ground forces. They are not the same thing and just because built along the current border is simply to set up a joint exercise with the Mexican Army for simulated war games. It would also double as a security forces training site over various terrain features to prepare our troops to defend against ground threats over a variety of terrain challenges. What is all this talk of an ‘unauthorized border wall’? Series and Hugh disconnects and disinformation alive here. MAGA!

I just went to the bill and searched the following words: wall, concrete, fence, cement, and border.

None of those words come up in a search. So you tell me where this ‘prohibition’ is and how it’s worded if I can’t find those words?

There is a lot, however, on security. And there is a lot of info on using funds allocated for ‘other projects’ in various divisions of the bill.
