AMAZING! Trump Administration Expediting Border Wall Construction
TheGatewayPundit.com ^ | Aug 1st, 2017 | Joshua Caplan

Despite opposition from the media, Democrats and RINO Republicans, President Trump is moving forward with construction of the border wall. U.S. officials will begin easing environment laws for the border near San Diego.

Reuters reports:

"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Tuesday it would waive environmental and related laws in order to expedite building security-related barriers and roads along the nation’s border with Mexico near San Diego.

The projects would focus on about 15 miles (24 km) of the frontier extending eastward from the Pacific Ocean as part of President Donald Trump’s planned wall between the United States and Mexico, the DHS said in a statement. It said the area is one of the busiest U.S. border sections.

“The sector remains an area of high illegal entry for which there is an immediate need to improve current infrastructure and construct additional border barriers and roads,” the DHS said.

The department will oversee the installation of extra barriers, roads, lights, cameras and sensors on the border under the authority of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996, the statement said.

The act grants the secretary of homeland security authority to waive requirements to comply with various laws to ensure the building of barriers and roads, while being mindful of cultural and environmental impacts, the statement said."

It’s no surprise the mainstream media has not yet figured out President Trump is a keen strategist with his eye always on the prize. And that prize, is the wall.

A recent report shines light on the behind-the-scenes battle over border wall funding and how today’s banning of transgenders in the military all ties together.

San Diego? This is the part of the "wall" that always gets built. When I see it stretching across New Mexico, I'll really believe it's true.

Such nonsense. This has to be done or else POTUS is done.
Bannon is smarter than that.

Shiite they been working on this wall near San Diego for 6 months now. Everytime there is an announcement about the border "wall" being worked on it is in San Diego where there was already a a very impressive barrier.

What about the other 1980 miles without anything? Why not address that huge problem?

Exactly - the concern trolls are as relentless as the Left is when it comes to trying to hurt Trump and his admin

Hey concern troll - Kelly isn't trying to subvert trump, just tossing out a strategy that he thinks is more doable.

From the article (if any of the concern trolls ever read more than headlines before jumping the shark):

"The President knows that I'm looking at variations on the theme, and I have no doubt that when I go back to him and say, 'Wall makes sense here, high-tech fencing makes sense over here, technology makes sense over here,' I have no doubt he'll tell me to go do it," he added.

How about doing something useful to prove you really believe in conservative principles:

Unless being a concern troll leech is fine with you....

And a “Rio Grande alligator reintroduction effort” should be started.

Thank you for your Concern.

"WASHINGTON (CNN)–New White House chief of staff John Kelly was so upset with how President Donald Trump handled the firing of FBI Director James Comey that Kelly called Comey afterward and said he was considering resigning, according to two sources familiar with a conversation between Kelly and Comey.

Both sources cautioned that it was unclear how serious Kelly, then the secretary of homeland security, was about resigning himself."

"Sources Say" - Did he or didn't he?  What does Kelly say NOW?

And how far back do Kelly and the Poodle Herder go in this Cluster Frack?

I don’t think people realize that a law is already directing the construction of a border wall. The only issue is funding, and as democrats and the liberal media are finding out, Trump was wide latitude in “reprogramming” money from other federal programs to the border wall. Perfectly legal by the way, Obama did the same thing to shore up Obamacare as have many other Presidents.
