It shouldn't be that difficult ... we already have a good design plan for it ... ideal for the Rio Grande ...

President Donald Trump said Friday that he's considering using military resources to finish construction of his long-promised border wall instead of relying on Congress to fund the project through the Homeland Security Department's budget.
He also wouldn't eliminate the possibility of a government shutdown if Democrats continue to confound his efforts to appropriate money for the project on the U.S.-Mexico border.
'We have two options,' he told DailyMail.com aboard Air Force One as he flew from Billings, Montana to Fargo, North Dakota. 'We have military, we have homeland security.'
He was asked specifically about using the Army Corps of Engineers as a taxpayer-funded construction crew.

No. The second he breaks the rules, they will bring up impeachment. That’s what they want him to do.
Although Trump had asked for $25 billion for wall construction, the bipartisan spending bill provides what Trump called only an “initial down payment” of $1.6 billion in funding. But even that sum comes with significant strings attached.
Here’s what that $1.6 billion is for (see Section 230, starting on page 673):
$251 million for “secondary fencing” near San Diego.
$445 million for “primary pedestrian levee fencing” in the Rio Grande Valley.
$196 million for “primary pedestrian fencing” in the Rio Grande Valley.
$445 million for replacement of primary pedestrian fencing.
$38 million for border barrier planning and design.
$196 million for border security technology.
The bill further states that the money can only be used to build “operationally effective designs deployed as of the date of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, [May 5, 2017] such as currently deployed steel bollard designs, that prioritize agent safety.”

ihave no idea, sorry
but we are waiting as patiently as possible for Ruth G’s hopeful retirement and replacement ASAP too. someone as patently doctrinaire and hard-core leftist activist as that should NEVER have even been considered for any kind of judicial post, never.
judges are supposed to be fair and impartial, damnit!
and a couple more of them can retire ASAP too, ha!
Every Trump supporter knows Trumps been obstructed on everything, every inch of the way by corrupt career establishment politicians and the government spooks, who've attempted to criminally undermine, compromise and frame the President of the United States.
Yeah well, that’s no excuse dude.
Uh huh, right. The man is surrounded by treasonous snakes and people who want to criminally set him up, frame him and get rid of him, "By any means necessary" but max says "No excuse".
What an odd comment.
I am polled by the RNC and other republican groups. I lay it out there every time.
BUILD THE WALL!
I think he’s heard that enough to know we mean business.
He May do this, he May do that. Stop Maying and do.
Just DO IT!. (heh, heh) Even if it means you sacrifice everything for what you believe....
> “The President can absolutely do this as commander in chief in the interest of the defense of our nation.”
Oh yes, indeed!
We talked about this earlier this year during the Omnibus when he got $700B for 2018 and $719B for 2019.
There were those who said he only got $1.6B for the Wall. And we said Ha! He just took military spending off the table for negotiation this Sept 2018 for budget negotiations AND he can use measures within his power and authority to use the military to build the Wall.
And now here we are.
It would be tempting to rub it in the faces of those who thought POTUS was defeated by the Omnibus but they can see he’s won, and if they can’t see that, they shouldn’t ever be taken seriously.
HAND SALUTE
Oh what’s the hurry let’s wait another 3-4 years
If I were king, I wouldn't use planes. I'd use catapults to fly them into Mexico. But I'm not king, and neither is Trump. He'll have to use planes. Planes, our military has them.
SeaBee walls?
Hmm.
People might die trying to climb them.
Ok. I’m in.
Absolutely. Get the combined efforts of the Navy Seabees and Army Engineers and get it done. Do something!!
Actually we could build that wall in 60 days if Trump would call all available working men to come help build the wall. The highways would be clogged with pickups heading south !
It shouldn't be that difficult ... we already have a good design plan for it ... ideal for the Rio Grande ...
Set up a go fund me page. The wall will funded in a week.
Sure is lots of mines.
Should get the idea across that this is mine.
LOL
End the talk and just do it. Tell Congress that is what is occurring and if they don’t like it they can approve funds to let DHS do it. My guess is that they’ll scream and let it be done instead of approving direct funds. They get political cover and Trump gets the wall.
THE GREAT WALL OF TRUMP
The big beautiful gates shall be gold paint trim with the insignia “The Great Wall of Trump!”
If he gets it done, he get’s his name on it.
The SeaBees would have it done by noon.
