Trump: Border wall construction will start on Monday
Washington examiner ^

Posted on 03/24/2018 5:00:01 PM PDT by MNDude

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.

Blow it out your ass, surrender monkey. Too many patriots are resting in Arlington and across the globe for us to surrender to the uniparty after one set back.

Listen man, if it makes you feel better to twist your brain in knots attempting to rationalize your disappointment then be my guest. But frankly I’m embarrassed for everyone on FR attempting to justify and protect him on this. Ridiculous

So according to the US News article they can bypass the limit on the paltry fence-only funding, and instead use the massive DoD allocation for building the *real* (i.e. protoyped concrete and steel) wall?

Unfortunately, there's quite a few here who don't realize what just really happened. Congress passed a RESOLUTION, not a restricted legislated budget, which handed Trump a book of blank checks and the keys to the treasury. And he's consolidating his discretionary control of it right now.

I am sure you can post what ever you want. I am LOL at people that dont like what they read here. I have a suggestion for them to consider. Instead of getting all upset when you read the thruth., just stop reading it . Read what you agree with. Our opinion is not going to change one bit.

I wonder what the naysayers here on FR now have to say ?

I listened to the speech, nothing was said about the wall, and as far as I can tell it's just going to be some temporary fencing being built.

See my tagline, which I've had since sometime in 2016, to know where I stand.

Maybe he has a surprise in store, but at this point I doubt it.

Unfortunately UCANSEE2, you're more likely to be disappointed.

Temporary metal fencing is all we're going to get.

That is the legal issue. On one hand they specifically describe the amount of fence, on the othr hand they specifically remove the prohibition of using defense funds. The court will decide if trump can use the money.

I’m his biggest fan, but he’s full of sh!t on that one. He’ll sign a pile of dog sh!t if that’s what Congress puts in front of him.

The budget he’s signing is just as large. Do you still believe he’s building a wall or an outsider?
-TakebackGOP

Didn’t he say that last year this time?

By my count, he’s signed three of these monstrosities. Every time there’s a shutdown deadline, he signs what the United-party hands him
