Sounds good to me.Our southern border is currently wide open to individuals...groups...nations that want to do us serious harm.

The U.S. military is the U.S. taxpayers.

It’s a shame but since the Democrat presidents (e.g. Obama) use funds for other than intended purposes, not to do it too would mean only the liberal agenda gets funded. I say go for it.

Using appropriated funds doesn’t mean Mexico if off the hook.
WaPo is being obtuse.

Mexico will pay for 10 walls over 10 years after NAFTA is re-negotiated by Trump Admin.

For all intents and purposes, Mexico is off the hook for the wall.
To: GIdget2004
Hey lil' Josh and Mike: The President doesn't have to privately (or openly) "push" the military to do anything ... He's the Commander in Chief, you tools.
Sheesh, what a bunch of low information "reporters" exist at the Washington Compost.

I love Trump, but that “Mexico will pay for the wall” was blowing smoke big time.

Eliminate it. All it serves to do is create dependency.

Privately? Damn, he tweeted about it...

We have used DoD funding to cover military-provided humanitarian projects throughout the world; we sure as hell can build our own wall.

Mexico does not need foreign aid from US. NAFTA gives them plenty of money.

Bravo Sierra...
Just wait until he starts in on Mexico in earnest. It’s going to be hysterically funny and be a direct kick in their nuts.
To: Sacajaweau
Corps of Engineers R gonna complete it.
Omnibus means that our prez can put the funds anywhere he wants. Congress just gave him the restriction on the amount.
Have they not realized it yet that Pelousy and the whole chirping gang got schlonged bigly?
