AUSTIN, TX. (10TV WBNS) -- A GoFundMe campaign started in December by the non-profit group We Build the Wall, Inc. has accumulated more than $22.9 million toward the construction of a section of the border wall. One of its biggest donors is Benton Stevens, a 7-year-old from Austin, Texas.

"I saw that (President Donald Trump) really wanted to build the wall,” Stevens told KOAT.

He raised $22,000 by selling hot chocolate, but his goal is $50,000. He says he now will be doing lemonade since it's nearly summer.

But, the funding and construction of this section of the border wall have met some negativity. We Build the Wall, Inc. was served with a cease and desist order from the local government.

The Wall will never be built. Swamp was never drained.

The Left thinks it’s funny to run over a 7 yr old. https://mobile.twitter.com/zackfox/status/1135625775904935937/photo/2

He’s asking to be beaten up, isn’t he?

He’ll be getting it from “adults”, never mind his liberal schoolmates.
