RE: the military will build the other 75% as a national emergency measure.

The military as a $700 Billion budget.

$5.7B - $1.3B = $4.4 Billion.

$4.4B/$700B = 0.6%

Yes, that’a mere 0.6% of the military budget to secure our Southern border !!

The Federal government waste much more than that doing other things they should not even bother doing.

They’re going to quibble with that?

Congress tried to cut Teddy Roosevelt off at the knees when he wanted to send a goodly part of the navy on a round the world cruise as a message to anyone who might want to mess with us.

Congress refused to allocate the funds, so TR sent the navy anyway. There was enough oil in inventory to get them just a little past the Philippines, so TR sent them anyway. He then asked them to allocate the money to bring them home to their east coast ports.

They were livid, but guess what they did.

Repelling invasion is a presidential power, and one of our Federal government’s main jobs is protecting national security. The Army Corps of Engineers can get the job done.
