Because there is already money available and allocated TO the wall and Congress is not authorizing it.

And if we DO need more money, I'd suggest we shut down all the SS, SSI and welfare keeping illegals afloat and use THAT money to prevent them from coming in in the first place.

I prefer a 5% fee on all funds being wired out of the country. To be exclusively used for border protection. Excess funds to be turned over to Capitol Hill for there usage.

One possible process:

Put the illegals that are going to be deported into a military barracks style camp. Call them “alien workers - AW”

Have the AWs make pressed earth blocks: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_earth_block

Use the blocks to construct railroads and Border Guard (like coast guard) barracks, etc.

Use the blocks to construct the main wall as well. Wall should be tall enough to defeat most climb/ladder attempts. Should be wide enough for vehicle traffic at the top, with ramps for vehicles to drive on and off.

X number of blocks and you can go back to Mexico border.
X+Y number of blocks and you can go back to Home country.
X+Z number of blocks and you can go back with a clean immigration record.

Has to be done by Congress because of the ‘Origination Clause’ in the Constitution.

Taking on debt through bonds would have to be authorized by the same Congress who could just appropriate funds. Bonds don’t get around the need for Congressional support.

Go Fund Me, and similar public contribution campaigns have been tried in the past. They produce insignificant amounts of money.

A lottery has been suggested. Lotteries could produce money on the scale required, but would take years, face legal challenges, and require Congress to authorize them.

Asset seizure from drug cartels has been proposed. El Chapo (Shorty) Guzman is now going to trial in the US, and there is about $13 billion in potential asset seizures in play in that case - enough to build 1,000 miles of good rural barrier. That kind of windfall will likely be rare and unpredictable, but that one might be all we need. It would still require Congress to authorize it.

The Trump Administration has proposed recisions to offest the cost of the wall - voluntarily cutting its own previously appropriated budget in places, like a little line item veto. That still requires Congress to re-program the funds, but relieves them of the burden of finding politically difficult new revenues, or having to make cuts to deals previously made in Congress.

The military could build barrier from within its budget. The President likely could unilaterally build some limited amount from within the Defense budget in any given year, but Congress would no doubt reassert budgetary control the next year, and could penalize DoD with cuts.

Whatever is built, has to be sustainably operated and maintained, which requires a budget line in perpetuity. Congress is about the only venue for that, as a practical matter - Congress is just the most elegant solution for providing the construction money precisely when it is needed, without uncontrollable variations, and really hard to get around, under our Constitution (power of the purse).

Doing well in the midterms is the single biggest factor in the fate of wall funding.

I thought I had heard that the wall would be funded by that massive military budget as a national security issue.

The best way to maintain the wall after it is built is to slap a 25% surcharge on all wire transfers of money from the USA to any foreign country. It would not be discriminatory in that case.

This is perfect!!!! Wall Bonds with a 12% interest rate.
The dems wouldn’t be caught dead investing in them. The good guys would be raking in the money and getting the wall built. It is time the federal money started going to the good guys.
