Because of the $700 & $716 Billion Dollars gotten to rebuild our Military, many jobs are created and our Military is again rich. Building a great Border Wall, with drugs (poison) and enemy combatants pouring into our Country, is all about National Defense. Build WALL through M!

I read that he originally wanted 640 billion. Final amount was 700.
Your post made my morning.
Here’s why:
Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), Pub. L. 107-40
The applicable text:
Section 1 – Short Title
This joint resolution may be cited as the ‘Authorization for Use of Military Force’.
Section 2 – Authorization For Use of United States Armed Forces
(a) IN GENERAL- That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
This authorization has NEVER been rescinded.
Business Insider has reported that the AUMF has been used to allow military action in Afghanistan, the Philippines, Georgia, Yemen, Djibouti, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iraq, and Somalia.

Building a wall or barrier is textbook combat engineer countermobility operation.
The courts won’t be able to interfere with national defense military operations - unless a judge wants to be charged with treason.
Go TRUMP - MAGA
Go Melania aka Lady MAGA

Courts inevitable despite funding source.
He can stop the tunnel too.
The Army Corps of Engineers builds stuff all the time.
This comes under the Constitutional *mandate* for the federal government to protect us from foreign invasion.
“Providing for the common defense” is the *only* mandate you will find in the Constitution.
The President alone has authority to conduct foreign policy and act as CIC.
The whole thing passes Constitutional muster easily. If we have an honest SCOTUS, it’s bulletproof,
The tunnel needs to be taken care of....sooner is better than later.
Have been on the ALCAN just once, and could not help thinking of how the heck it could EVER have been built in such rugged country and so quickly.
God bless the men like your grandfather!
The President has every right to fortify an international border(We only have two of them) as he sees fit. This is not an act of war. Mexico can stuff it.
Combat engineers of the construction type (heavies) can build very quickly. I was the combat type (light, mostly infantry work) but did see their work and even helped them a little. If that’s the plan, it can go really fast where they do the work.
It is my understanding, though, that there will be no monster concrete wall across the whole border. There’s not enough concrete produced in the world for that, and it wouldn’t have the value per mile that we need.
The plan is to build what is needed on each part of the border, including high concrete walls in the areas with the most traffic. Areas that don’t need such a wall will get good fencing and other security enhancements.
It I’ll likely end up in front of SCOTUS. A first year law student can figure out it passes Constitutional muster without breaking a sweat.
The military will do it for far less than 25 mil.
LOL! Thanks HS! Made my morning!
It is trial balloon. No one is reading the tweet that followed. Much can be done with the 1.6 billion. Words are wind, i’ll wait to see what happens.
The Hungarians threw up a perfectly sufficient fence in now time at all using their military. We can do the same. Or at least move toowarssnstarting it and the inevitable shutdown by judges.
Hopefully he cancels the LCS program. It is the biggest waste of money the Navy has ever had. They continue to produce ships that cannot cross the ocean on their own, they need to be piggy-backed to their deployment in Singapore. They are also labeled as unsurvivable in a combat zone. Both LCS versions are crap.
