Rep. Diane Black, a Republican running for Tennessee governor, has introduced legislation that would let people and companies donate to the construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Her bill would create an account at the Treasury Department to take donations that would be used to fund President Trump's biggest campaign promise, after Congress failed to give him the $25 billion he requested in January.
"While Democrats block commonsense border security and put illegal immigrants before our families, we are going to put America first. Real immigration reform cannot be achieved without a secure border," Black said in a statement.
The Border Wall Trust Fund Act would allow money deposited in the Treasury fund to be used for "planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining a barrier along the international border," her press release stated.
"The most important job of the federal government is the safety and security of the American people, and if citizens in our country wish to contribute to this effort, they absolutely should be given the opportunity," she added. "Americans know that President Trump is committed to protecting our nation for future generations, and we are ready to stand with him to build...

No. Let the Mexican government pay for it through remittance.
I donate to the Government every April 15th
Where do I send my donation?
I would donate in a heartbeat.
I want a wall. I also would love to see how congress dealt with We, The People doing an end run around them.
No. This effing POS government under Hussein & Company stole more money than it would take to build the effing wall. Get every dime from those Pieces Of Shiite.
Here is how it would work...
A) You donate the money.
B) The wall isn’t built.
When will you people learn?
THAT is THE Solution.
Trump has the bully pulpit and can certainly propose legislation.
And he can administratively levy tariffs and fees and such a levy could be crafted via graduated schedules to allow large transfers.
It is complex but it could be done even without Congress but as we learned administrative solutions can be short-term.
Better to sell Congress. They can tax retail then they can tax retail transfers. So long as EVERYONE doing the same transaction is taxed the same I am sure it could pass muster.
BUILD THE STINKING WALL ALREADY!
You’re welcome to take all of the Federal taxes I pay. I don’t even care if they come out of John McCain’s retirement fund. He’s dying, anyway.
Id vote for her, and for the same reason I voted for Trump; she knows who the enemies are....
Hell yes.
California has been Occupied Territory long enough
All collections of Felony Drug arrests “Moneys” confiscated from drug dealers will be used to pay for the WALL ...
Each non legal alien invader will , when apprehended
be required to relinquish any and all moneys , cash , and funds to further pay for THE WALL .... All bank accounts of drug dealers will be confiscated and
used to pay for THE WALL . All Federal FBI employees found guilty of Felony Crimes will sacrifice all pensions , these funds will be used to pay for THE WALL . etc etc etc
Too bad the POTUS can’t just open a GoFundMe page for the wall. Back if it has to go through the legislative process, it will never happen.
Absolutely I would donate! Hell yeah baby!!!!!!
I’d maybe go there and help, if they’d take me.
Mexico will pay for it indirectly, in many different ways. They won’t have so much money being sent to them by illegals living here, for one thing. And they’ll have to take care of their own people for a change, instead of dumping them on us. I would definitely contribute.
I mean, how much do you guys think we can get? $5 million dollars?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
We need like $2 Billion to be meaningful
Precisely.
Same here.
Yes
