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.”
Trump’s First Pillar of National Security: Build the Border Wall
The primary charter of the military is to protect these United States and secure her borders.
All but one nuclear power.
“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.”
No! We want it to turn north at Yuma and follow the east border of California all the way to Oregon, then west along the southern border of Oregon to the Pacific Ocean!
Yes. Great that they will be working here and not overseas.
Their use (the left) of drugs and the money it puts in their pockets is the reason THEY don’t want the wall.
“430days in office: 0 miles, 0 feet, and 0 inches of new wall built”
Is that you, Ann?

We`re gonna need a taller wall...
.
I sent Trump a tweet last night suggesting this exact approach.
I also think that if the dems and the corrupt judges give him any heat over this, I would like him to declare Martial Law for 1 mile wide all along the southern border.
Yes!
The suggestion that the military could do anything cheaper is downright humorous. How many $436 hammers are they going to need? And $70,000 ladders. And let's not even get to the coffee makers and toilet seats.
“Build WALL through M!”
What if m means Mexico? Does that make more sense?
Sharknadoes with fricken lasers on them
DjT directs omnibus funds to build this wall or he loses his support. Curtains for him and us.
I bet the Israeli wall was built by Palestinian and other Muslim labor.
Your comment really makes me gag, line.
Why not a "dam" to keep the stench from Mexico from blowing into the U.S.? '-)
It is expressly prohibited to user military funding IN THE BILL. It will be immediately enjoined by a communist judge and grounds for immediate impeachment. Did trump not know what he was signing?
“What if m means Mexico? Does that make more sense?”
Minnesota!
Hell yes.
