Trump: Border wall construction will start on Monday
Fred, the part you missed is the
$80 Billion for defense spending. This will allow him to use the
Army Corp of Engineers to build the wall.
The dems just got played in a masterful stroke of genius. The $80 Billion is more than enough cash for the entire length of the border. Not sure why anyone would be opposed to border security, but if you are- suck it.
