Many from his generation did Jews , blacks, Irish
All were hated equally. It was before the civil rights movement.

Seems exactly like the kind of project the Army Corps of Engineers should undertake and maintain. It has a hell of a lot more to do with national defense than levees and water projects on the Mississippi, though those are necessary and legitimate. Liberals take note; they voted for this, and it will get done.

Jimmy Carter was a fool. As a white man from South Africa let me tell you the pain he inflicted on Christians. He let a black horde take over SA, He let them rape and murder indiscriminately, He let the Mullahs kill the Shah of Iran and take over and covet nukes. He was a friggin fool. To top it all off he had no clue he was clueless. Carter was a moron. The world he left us was vastly worse than when he came in. The short bus driver would have been given a Nobel prize if they had left that idiot on the buss during spring break and he had expired.

More easily done as reimbursable work as you point out. Not so much as direct funded.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. Enjoyed the conversation.

No, using a contractor.

And post #259 with the correct answer. The military will be overseeing and supervising the contractors do the work.

Attempting to build the wall with military funds would get the military budget tied up by the 9th Circuit judges for years.
//////////////////

As I stated in my post, this is not a budget. A spending resolution does not carry the weight of the legal budgetary process. It is simply an authorization to spend money. The uniparty, bought and paid for by the globalists, has not passed a budget since Bush 43. They appropriate money under the threat of government shutdown and keep the socialist revolution and totalitarianism alive. They enrich themselves in the process and expand their power. Off course Trump’s order to build the wall will be challenged and delayed but it won’t be defeated by a district court. everything will be in place; funding, materials, military manpower, and national will. The Ruling to stay will be immediate and immediately appealed to supremes. Remember, that court has changed and there is no legal basis to stop this Presidential order.
combine this with the fact that this resolution operates until September and you have perfect timing for mid term election. Trump will not sign another continuing resolution in September and will campaign for republicans using the obstruction of the wall and the refusal to deal with immigration as a reason not to sign another resolution. Base will be totally fired up and ready to turn out to support this. Remember Democrats have 10 senate seats that are in doubt in 2018. they have a lot to lose.
Is this a sure thing or a perfect solution? No, but it is the best Trump could do under the circumstances

“I and a few others replied that it’s obvious Trump could declare border defense a national security issue and build a DMZ type infrastructure using DoD funds and resources.”

I agree and I think he could dismiss any court order to stop construction by claiming ‘national defense’.

I have done my homework and came to the realization that the designs are NOT cost effective.

If Trump wants he could use the military to build the wall, in the interest of National Security. Branches of Service have Construction groups....like Navy has Seabees!

If you think of it, how else to get a superior build, when liberals or illegal sympathizers would be more inclined to do poor job.

use the Army Corps of Engineers/Seabees/Combat Engineers of all branches. They’ll do it right and at a speed that Trump is used too... Using the Military on this will drive the left bonkers...watch the lawsuits fly.....Trump can declare a National Emergency!

GREAT IDEA!!!

The issue is, are Ryan (Romney) and McConnell (Bush) committed to removing Trump from office, or not?

Everything follows from that.

I think the Posse act concerns the Army’s guns pointed in....Guns pointed out is OK and really just a part of their job....
