President Trump said Friday that construction of his promised border wall would start "immediately" after signing the omnibus spending bill, which included $1.6 billion in funding for the wall.
"We're going to be starting work literally on Monday," Trump said during an event Friday at the White House. "We have a lot of money coming to the border."
Trump had threatened earlier Friday to veto the spending bill Congress passed on Thursday because it did not include sufficient funding for the wall and because it omitted expiring protections for young, undocumented immigrants.
Again I ain’t seen no concrete
That question will be addressed after Planned Parenthood is indicted and shutdown.
I can’t give you a timeline for your anger. I would say that if President Trump give Congress a budget with Planned Parenthood $ in it there would be cause for anger.

Trump ‘global gag rule’ revival is set to hit Planned Parenthood hard
White House policy could cost the International Planned Parenthood Federation $100 million in funding.

A rule revived by the Trump administration gutting funding for organizations that perform or promote abortions abroad could cost the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) around $100 million in funding, according to analysis by the New York Times. It’s the latest indication that White House efforts to hinder reproductive justice work are hitting the well-known non-profit health organization.
According to a State Department report on Tuesday, four organizations working internationally (along with dozens of their regional partners) have rejected rules reintroduced by the Trump administration requiring health care funding recipients to eschew any connection to abortion. The White House argues that number is relatively small — of the 733 organizations with funding up for renewal, the government says 729 accepted the new stipulations laid out by President Trump.
But those that opted out will be hit hard. While the organizations that declined to go along with Trump’s mandate remained unnamed in the State Department report, both Marie Stopes International (based in London) and IPPF have publicly said they will decline. According to the Times, Marie Stopes works in 37 countries and will lose out on $80 million, while IPPF, active in over 170 countries with 29 impacted by the ban, will likely see a $100 million loss.
Unlike past Republican presidents, Trump has expanded the rule to include all U.S. global health assistance, as opposed to reproductive health efforts alone. Typically, the global gag rule impacts around $600 million in funding. But Trump’s decision to bring the policy back on his first working day in office impacted nearly $9 billion in international aid. The Kaiser Family Foundation has estimated some 1,275 foreign non-governmental organizations could be impacted by the policy.
The article title is misleading. Not only is there no Wall, the pork bill Trump signed prohibits building the Wall.
But I don’t expect rabid anti-Trumpers to know that. They are too blind with hate to read books and learn things.

Do you know how principles work? Up until yesterday there was no one ahead of me for love of Trump. I was ready for a verbal battle with anyone concerning any of the never ending attacks on him and his family.
You can answer perceived hate with hate or you can listen. Do you really think I don’t understand that Trump isn’t pulling taxpayer cash out of his wallet and giving to planned parenthood?
I wanted him to make a stand against an abomination. He bombed Syria for gassing 70 children. 1000 dead babies a day is at least worth a mention? No?
Reactionary people did not read the fine print. It doesn’t make them correct. THERE IS NO FUNDING OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD

This sudden start to wall building is Trump’s attempt at a sop for the disastrous budget he just signed. I am still seething with anger about what he did. I am not fooled, Trump.
I don’t understand your sarcastic reply which some consider a zot. Are you saying people must stick to a party line here that agrees with you? There is no free expression of thoughts or ideas. Are you Hitler? Please explain just who the hell you are, Admin Moderator.
Largely agree Tomcat, except I would say he’s the type who stays in the locker room after half time.
You have some reading to do . . .
“We’re gonna need a bigger breakfast taco truck.”
LOL!
I can see I’ll be needing a lot of popcorn...
If the bill says do not build the prototypes,
then Trump will have to make the wall 20 feet higher.
All law has loopholes.
And the people get a better wall.
OK serious this time.
the articles say the following:
" The omnibus spending bill bans Trump from using any of the new border wall designs his administration has commissioned, instead only allowing for previously-used fencing barriers to be constructed."
Two questions.
1. If he can only use "previously-used fencing barriers" does it specifically state barriers on the US / Mexican border? Because I can think of some pretty spiffy "fencing barriers" that the fed-gov has built in the past, just not in that specific location.
2. If he can only use "previously-used fencing barriers" does it specifically state the number of layers of "fencing barriers" that can be used? Because two (and in some locations three) of these with a "no go zone" in the middle would do a pretty good job...
Or he could just declare it an issue of National Security if there is some event related to the border and move in the Corps of Engineers.
Chucky could be invited to stand in front of one of the bulldozers to protest it.
.
The national emergency was already declared on December 21 Both human trafficking and drugs were mentioned.
Where have you been?
How about brass to match his ....
I would immediately apologize for the way out of line Hitler comment.
Wow, 1.6 billion by FERAL Government standards will get about 10 miles.
This is what I am saying. Put the military on the border and be done with it. Hell they got over half a trillion in this latest rip off.
