Today, President Donald J. Trump offered a new way possible for America to build the border wall, even after the omnibus spending bill signed on Friday left many wondering if construction will ever start. His suggestion? Have the military build it.
Early Sunday morning, President Trump pointed out the fact that the border wall is a matter of national security. America therefore should simply have the Department of Defense over see the project in order to keep out drugs and enemy combatants, according to the commander in chief.
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! Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 25, 2018
It is estimated that the border wall will cost roughly $18 billion dollars. The omnibus bill allotted only $1.6 billion, but President Trump says a lot can be done with that money.
Much can be done with the $1.6 Billion given to building and fixing the border wall. It is just a down payment. Work will start immediately. The rest of the money will come - and remember DACA, the Democrats abandoned you (but we will not)! Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 25, 2018
President Trump's comments echo similar statements made last December when he touted border security as his first pillar of defense in a speech on National Security.
As reported by CNS News, President Trump said,
First, we must protect the American people, the homeland and our great American way of life, Trump said. This strategy recognizes that we cannot secure our nation if we do not secure our borders."
"So, for the first time ever, American strategy now includes a serious plan to defend our homeland,"added Trump. "It calls for the construction of a wall on out southern border, ending chain migration and the horrible visa and lottery programs, closing loopholes that undermine enforcement, and strongly supporting our Border Patrol agents, ICE officers, and Homeland Security Personnel.
Trumps First Pillar of National Security: Build the Border Wall
Ever heard of the Seabees ?
The Seebees have many wars under their belt building infrastructure.
DJT is their CIC.
Seebees can also provide suppressive fire to hostiles engaging from the South should that occure
I disagree with you. Give the military reauthorization to build it meet the specs of national defense, then stay out of their way.
“The Alaska Highwaywasbuilt over a thousand miles over the Canadian and Alaskan tundra in a year, including the arctic winter.”
When America was great and can-do. Now everything has to be run through an army of environmental and leftist busy-body lawyers.
The military should build the wall. Lay some mines while they’re down there, too.
What countries in the world have walls or border fortifications that are not not patrolled by their military or armed security? ?
Not many
None that are nuclear powers

Its the only way it gets built. It will never be funded and it will never be approved l hope Trump realizes that now.
The Army Corp of Engineers and Seebees build lots of things.
5.56mm
See bees, corps of engineers, Joe’s construction, HomeDepot, beavers.
I don’t care at this point.
Just get it done.
(time for bed)
It really is bizarre...We defend other country’s borders all over the world but we can’t defend our on for some reason.
Dialated pupils = cocaine, meth. Recent eye test..? Ehh....NO.
This woman did NARCOTICS right before a nationally televised interview.
I hope it starts at the Texas gulf coast, at Brownsville, then heads west all the way through Arizona. Then, once it reaches the AZ CA border, along our southern border, it stops...in Yuma.
Let CA fend for itself and come begging for a Trump Wall.
Ha! A drug addled ho. Who wouldve thought?
The Air Force has RED HORSE.
I would bet that if the Donald put out a call for retired heavy equipment operators and construction workers, he would get flooded in a week with volunteers.
I know of 4 right now who would do it, one being myself.
"...dialated pupils and narcotics..."
In keeping with Trumps campaign promise, he must have meant that the Mexican military will build the wall.
430days in office: 0 miles, 0 feet, and 0 inches of new wall built
The valley needs a wall, it is wide open.
Read threads from last night and this morning.
Did you read the 'Letter' to the House & Senate?
The Wall is funded.
