Everything in the article reiterates the numbers we have been hearing, and that they are still on track to do 400 to 500 miles by the end of the first term. That is going to require exercising eminent domain through a few hundred privately owned parcels of land (a strip about 200 feet wide), and the use of the $3.6 billion in Military Construction funds that has not yet been spent, and for which the Ninth Circuit is now preparing a ruling.
So far, it appears that Congress will likely appropriate another $1.4 billion for the wall in 2020 (which I expect to see fund about 60 miles through Laredo City and Sector). That would also become available if they fail to pass appropriations, and go the whole year on continuing resolutions. They are also likely to either leave the door open to the President re-programming some Military money again.
& this doesn’t include; Michael Kolfage, Forman Mike, & We Build the Wall’s Miles of wall....
The wall needs to be concrete with a path on top wide enough for a very small off road vehicle...
Will he be as successful with the wall as he has been with Middle East plan?
Is Jared a case study in nepotism? I have no real opinion of him. I know others here are not happy with his ‘assignments’ under Trump. I have no idea if he is just being given monitoring and reporting assignment to keep POTUS appraised of situations on the ground, or if he has real decision making power. It would be interesting to see a list of his ‘accomplishments’ in the last three years to help determine if he is really helpful or if this is just appeasing a family member. If I underestimate his qualifications, please educate me.
I take this assignment more of Trump wanting Jarad to quit bothering him with Leftism. Send him off to ‘Siberia’, and that will keep him from getting involved in policy, something that he has NO BUSINESS being involved in, as he seems to be as clueless as NeverTrumpers in understanding just why Trump was elected.
There are a lot of sections that have started. A mile a day is quite feasable.
After bringing peace to the middle east this should be a snap for Jared. Oh wait...
Fencing?
No, it's America's border wall. Bought and paid for with our tax dollars for our protection. Thank you, Mr. President!
He’s apparently failed miserably as Director of Human Resources for the Trump administration.
Totally agree. Interesting that Michelle Malkin is bashing this. The Coulterization of Malkin is complete.
People don’t understand that Kushner not only raised the money for Trump’s campaign, but ran the budget on a shoestring. He and Bannon were absolutely indispensable to winning. He will be able to get money from turnips for this.
Good. Keep the Leftist bungler away from the Middle East.
Let’s hope Pres. Trump puts the full package out there. This should be part of a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1987 ONE TIME amnesty. The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1987 goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.
Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.
“Our” boarder wall, Bezos.
