This renewal of the Emergency Declaration, is likely being issued to free up billions more from Military Construction (MILCON) - beyond the $3.8 billion transferred today, from the Military's Counter-Narcotics account.

In total, about $7.2 billion will likely come from DoD this year (this month most likely).

That $7.2, plus the $3.6 billion from last year's MILCON, that was just freed up from judicial injunction, plus this year's new appropriation of $1.4 billion, equals over $12 billion to go on contract for border wall this year.

It is going to be YUGE!

Wasn’t the concensus estimate of building the border wall en toto around 20 billion?

If so this is well over half the entire amount needed for completetion.
