Brian Kolfage, the Air Force triple amputee veteran who founded a non-profit organization to build the wall at the southern United States border with private donations, said he expects to break ground in the next couple of months.

Kolfage told Breitbart News in an exclusive phone interview on Thursday, “We’re moving forward with the wall. I’ve got some land owners who are ready to rock and roll, and want us to start slapping up some wall.”

“We should be able to break ground in the next couple of months, we hope, according to our experts,” he said.

Build the wall everywhere possible without using eminent domain and let the rest take the brunt of the border crosser’s. Eventually they may change their minds.

That’s the reason Im more supportive of the landowners themselves putting up Fences in whatever manner is beneficial to them. The cost is prohibitive for an individual to build. If it funnels illegals to choose alternative routes, then those landowners will be making decisions.

63-65,000,000 American voters cast their ballots to elect Donald J. Trump, POTUS!!! If each of them just donated $10.00 to the private “Build the Wall” GoFundMe campaign, that’s a ton of bucks to get started and keep going.

In these times of Democrat Party (Pelosi & Schumer, etc.) treason & turncoat activity that endangers the country and our people...the old Christian saying of: “The Lord helps those that help themselves” holds so very true”...please donate to the “GoFundMe, Build The Wall”...today!!! support our great POTUS, Doanld J. Trump and help us destroy the entire “live baby killing”, hate America, Democrat Party politically!!!

Couldn’t the landowners be reimbursed, given tax credit, or some other advantage?

I’m sure there’d be strings attached to any government involvement. To be Reimbursed you’d have to have the money first, fencing can be expensive.

I think he is doing a terrific job. I get his updates, and he said they even met with the company that built Israel’s wall. They have identified 7 pieces of land they can build on. He wrote:

“I’ve learned a lot along this journey, and the one thing these landowners all tell me is that they live in fear 24/7. They also feel neglected by the federal government for failing them for the past 30+ years. Property values have plummeted and crime has skyrocketed in these communities.”
