The Trump administration has started the arduous process of canceling $3.6 billion in military construction projects to fund its plans to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Defense Secretary Mark Esper began notifying lawmakers Tuesday which projects will be canceled in their districts. Top Democrats immediately blasted the plan.
The plans come nearly seven months after Trump announced a national emergency to use roughly $8 billion to build a wall to curtail illegal immigration along the U.S. southern border. Of that, $3.6 billion was slated to come from the military construction funds, the Trump administration said during the Feb. 15 announcement.
Arrests at the border are down over 20,000 a month since Trump told Mexico to ( paraphrase ) fvck off !!!
Wall, yeah tunnel under… Fck you Trump they’ll say.
.
Its not just a wall..there will be listening posts as well..youd have to dig mighty deep to get under it…they may try.
Of course..if the punishment for being caught trying to sneak across the border was summary execution, and not a free bed and toast…then they might stop on their own.
