The problem is not raising the money but the authorization to spend it. Trump can have all the money in the world but he cannot spend a dime of it with authorization from Congress.
The Wall is different than the 25 Billion Dollars in Border Security. The complete Wall will be built with the Shutdown money plus funds already in hand. The reporting has been inaccurate on the point. The problem is, without the Wall, much of the rest of Dollars are wasted!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 24, 2018
Looks like he’s really getting serious.
BUILD THE WALL, THE VOTERS ARE BEHIND TRUMP!!
First step - federal judges will issue environmental injunctions, or discrimination injunctions, or both.
Ted Kennedy's INA 1965 forbids immigration policies that discriminate on the basis of national origin or religion, which is how the Left stopped Trump's Executive Order to block immigration from terrorist countries.
Trump has shown no inclination to do anything about judicial obstruction except to follow the usual multi-year appeal process. Since Trump uses pro-immigration Department of Justice lawyers to argue his case, the final verdicts are already in.
Trump does have the option to ignore the injunctions and spend un-budgeted Executive Branch funds to build The Wall, but he would have to risk impeachment.
Most likely, even that potential solution would fail....
Trump has retained so many Obama appointees, and Trump has appointed so many center-left executives, the Deep State bureaucracy will block, obstruct, or slow walk every decision he makes about The Wall.
What if people just start building it?
Let’s do whatever it takes. We can pay for it ourselves if necessary.
FedGov ain't gonna do squat over secession by any state.
This isn't 1861. Americans no longer have the stomach to kill each other over the purely political question of union. In fact, without the issue of slavery being involved, it's doubtful the American people would have fought the civil war at all.
“You’re foolish if you think any state can leave the union at this point....”
I agree - there is no right to secession. That question got settled in 1865.
Send $5. The number of supporters means more than the money.
Especially after there were 2 different votes-—2006 & 2013 to fund & build the WALL.
Now- there are even more illegals inside our borders, thanks to Obama & Pelosi & Schumer, and it is winter.
Sure would be fun is someone printed up about 2000 business cards with Nancy Pelosi’s address & a map to get to her house & handed them to illegals found in the USa.
ewwwww the iron hand of the FERAL Government. I am scared and am sure Texas is as well.
“Agree. Let the shutdown run. Let the rats explain why. No lose situation for either DJT or our country.”
The stronger Trump stands, the more popular he will be. It’s the wavering and “maybe” and equivocation that drives people away.
We can do it out of the military budget per the 2006 authorization bill.
It's NOT that we ALL here at FR haven't read or learned the Constitution. It's that the UNIPARTY doesn't want to follow the Constitution.
Thanks for posting the link to USA Today...
Ditto!!!
That would be FAN-TAS-TIK!!!
Yes, and that is main reason Mattis is being replaced. Mattis does not favor a Wall.
