Trump plans to use $8 billion to fund border wall, source says

President Trump will take dramatic actions to fund his long-promised border wall and declare a national emergency, which will enable his administration to move $8 billion from various federal agencies to fund the project, a senior administration official told Fox News late Thursday.

The news comes as Trump is expected to sign a House border security package that provides $1.4 billion for the project, which is far below the $5.7 billion Trump insisted he needed and would finance just a quarter of the 200-plus miles he wanted.

Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, said earlier today that Trump will sign the spending bill and declare a national emergency at the same time tomorrow morning.

The White House said he’d sign the legislation but act unilaterally to get more, prompting condemnations from Democrats and threats of lawsuits from states and others who might lose federal money or said Trump was abusing his authority.

Just tired of hearing Trump shouldn’t engage because unelected judges have the final say on everything and it will be a loss for Trump. It’s not a loss for Trump. It’s a loss for the American people.

As has been well stated....”The only person in Washington that really cares about securing the border is POTUS. Our republican leaders have left him on an island and it’s obvious through past years in the swamp they don’t want to do anything about illegal immigration. Trump can’t do it alone unfortunately”

I support whatever he does to attain what he said he would do....even when it doesn’t appear to get it all in one shot!

Before Trump the Democrats and Republicans never had any intention whatsoever of securing our borders. Instead those posers, the same one’s the never-Trump crowd voted for, gave us nothing but lip service and con-jobs for decades.

Its easy to be a critic. Trump is the warrior in the arena, fighting overwhelming forces mostly by himself.

Are we not entertained?

Trump should tell the court, you have no jurisdictions for emergencies. The country cannot respond to emergencies on the basis of judicial fiat.

We've all become frustrated with President Trump and his people kneeling before the courts and their totally obvious abuse of jurisdiction.

I'm hoping that Trump has been giving the 0bama-Clinton judges enough line, like a fish, until he sinks the hook deep.

That's the only play I see at this point.

The problem is also long term politicians see the “money” as THEIRS...not the peoples.
