President Trump will take dramatic actions to fund his long-promised border wall and declare a national emergency, which will enable his administration to move $8 billion from various federal agencies to fund the project, a senior administration official told Fox News late Thursday.
The news comes as Trump is expected to sign a House border security package that provides $1.4 billion for the project, which is far below the $5.7 billion Trump insisted he needed and would finance just a quarter of the 200-plus miles he wanted.
Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, said earlier today that Trump will sign the spending bill and declare a national emergency at the same time tomorrow morning.
The White House said he’d sign the legislation but act unilaterally to get more, prompting condemnations from Democrats and threats of lawsuits from states and others who might lose federal money or said Trump was abusing his authority.

How old are you hoot?
Hattip alone for that
You must be 83 minimum to have voted Ike.
Damn she is purty
BFL
Just tired of hearing Trump shouldn’t engage because unelected judges have the final say on everything and it will be a loss for Trump. It’s not a loss for Trump. It’s a loss for the American people.
As has been well stated....”The only person in Washington that really cares about securing the border is POTUS. Our republican leaders have left him on an island and it’s obvious through past years in the swamp they don’t want to do anything about illegal immigration. Trump can’t do it alone unfortunately”
I support whatever he does to attain what he said he would do....even when it doesn’t appear to get it all in one shot!
It’s not a lose.....those who see it that way haven’t a clue how Trump works.
What a stupid think to say.
Before Trump the Democrats and Republicans never had any intention whatsoever of securing our borders. Instead those posers, the same one’s the never-Trump crowd voted for, gave us nothing but lip service and con-jobs for decades.
Can’t afford another shutdown in the country.....watch Trumps plays now.....will be very interesting to see how he gets it all and more before he’s done.
BREAKING: Nick Mulvaney is a money genius!
Well, he located $8 BILLION to #BuildTheWall
Just announced:
$600 Million — Treasury Dept Forfeiture Fund
$2.5 Billion — DOD
$3.5 Billion — Military & other accounts
President Trump keeps EVERY promise!
Are we not entertained?
We've all become frustrated with President Trump and his people kneeling before the courts and their totally obvious abuse of jurisdiction.
I'm hoping that Trump has been giving the 0bama-Clinton judges enough line, like a fish, until he sinks the hook deep.
That's the only play I see at this point.
Agree.

You’re either ignorant or just dumb...
He should just fire them? HA HA HA HA
Very well said
The problem is also long term politicians see the “money” as THEIRS...not the peoples.
