It’s about time that Trump recognized that the Wall is a means of preventing terrorists from entering the US, and thus building it a military operation.
We have not had a budget bill since April 29, 2009
OBama never budgeted He just spent.
Trump is pulling a perfect Alinsky and turning their plan back against them.
Seabees was my thought too. Think about that. A large highly trained and patriotic construction force (of US citizens) let loose on the economy after their service is up.
The Heritage Foundation says that Trump has already accomplished 64% of his agenda, far more than Reagan in his first year.
What was special about Reagan was his political coattails. His being at the top of the ticket gave the GOP as 32 seat increase in the House (short of a majority, but a big increase) and a 12 seat increase in the Senate. Trump had negative coattails - the GOP lost 2 Senate and 6 House seats.
The 2018 mid-term is looking like a bloodbath. I’ll be glad to be proven wrong, but we’ll see in less than 8 months.
Do your homework on the prototypes. Do you see a single brick?
There was 1.6 Billion appropriated in the spending bill was
passed. That gets a good start on getting basic things together
Still, President Trump should of vetoed this bill, because it’s a very bad bill! Then, the fault for this legislative “mess”=The Congress, only!
You do understand he was trolling the Democrats with the DACA statement right?
You need to learn Trump
Ike used the national Defense need for building the interstate highway when it got bogged down in interstate squabbles.
I’ve been wondering why he can’t use national defense budgets to get this done.
Is it possible that is part of why he asked for such much for the military?
* POTUS can authorize force for 90 days w/out Congress
* So do it in 90 days.
* POTUS has authority over Treasury, he could request "Wall Bonds" but he is being nice not to piss off Ryan.
* He could use monies donated if an org is set up.
* He could request a Military Operational Area "MOA" and make a 30 mile swath a no fly zone. Man that'll piss of the Fake News, no Mika in a Helicopter, Priceless.
Tell me how I what I proposed is factually incorrect, not illegal, and or not doable on top of what you posted.
Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. They will rebuild our country’s infrastructure !
There is a special place in hell for people like Paul Ryan.
Like he hasn’t done anything over the last year.
And Trump was never going to be President.
Purpose statute.
Can’t use one appropriation if there is another appropriation more properly suited for the purpose. In this case I read that the wall is Homeland security.
Have all units of national guard do their training at the border.
The military doesn’t have the manpower to build the wall. Most of these type of engineering projects that are done by the military use civilian contractors. In addition, unless there is a specific line item in the defense appropriation that covers the wall panel procurement, there won’t be anything to build it with.
Well I guess that answers my question LOL
