The Trump administration is shifting its border wall focus from procuring resources to breaking ground on new construction after securing funds for 1,000 miles of new wall along the southern border, White House officials tell the Daily Caller.
The fiscal year 2021 budget requests fewer funds for border wall construction than in previous years, but a senior White House official explained how the administration has “now shifted from securing funds to being able to build more wall.”

Will Ann Coulter be happy now?
But Nancy promised he would not get one dollar for the wall.
There’s a list of worthless programs that are being cut entirely at the end of the article. Conspicuous by it’s absence, Planned Parenthood.
Coulter's whole shtick is about selling books. She always makes as much noise as necessary to try to sell the next one up. I have never, ever liked this woman. We are not obligated to like someone solely because they present themselves as political conservatives.
Heck of a legacy.
And thru USMCA, Mexico is payin’ for it!
Or npr/pbs
Cut:
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health’s Education and Research Centers
Department of the Interior’s Highlands Conservation Act Grants
National Park Service’s Save America’s Treasures Grants
National Endowment for the Arts Endowment for the Humanities
Corporation for National and Community Service (including AmeriCorps)
“OUTRAGE” crowd begins caterwauling in 3...2...1...
I used to liked her OK years ago but then I discovered what you stated. She starts making a lot of noise, even at the expense of conservatism, when she has a new book to sell.
These cuts will bring out the charges of “heartless”, “shortsighted”, “this is not who we are”, and so on.
There is no part of the .fedgov which should ever be cut, according to the collectivist Left.
i think the wall looks great.
The wall does not block our view. But then, we live in the Rocky Mts. Please don’t move here.
Certainly not if the President has the IRS confiscate all her physical and fiscal assets to help acquire the border-wall financing...
Got a clear view from my house.
P.S. Nevada is now full so no one else should move here. Too many drones already.
“Good fences make good neighbors”, is not about the neighbors. It is about the quality of the “fence”.
Mending Wall
BY ROBERT FROST
Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun;
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
The work of hunters is another thing:
I have come after them and made repair
Where they have left not one stone on a stone,
But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,
No one has seen them made or heard them made,
But at spring mending-time we find them there.
I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
And on a day we meet to walk the line
And set the wall between us once again.
We keep the wall between us as we go.
To each the boulders that have fallen to each.
And some are loaves and some so nearly balls
We have to use a spell to make them balance:
‘Stay where you are until our backs are turned!’
We wear our fingers rough with handling them.
Oh, just another kind of out-door game,
One on a side. It comes to little more:
There where it is we do not need the wall:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
If I could put a notion in his head:
‘Why do they make good neighbors? Isn’t it
Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.
Before I built a wall I’d ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
That wants it down.’ I could say ‘Elves’ to him,
But it’s not elves exactly, and I’d rather
He said it for himself. I see him there
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father’s saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
