    Look at these well nourished Mexicans running to come take your hard earned tax dollars through a hole in the wall in Sunland park NM. It's a hole that will soon be closed. It's part of the Government project not being handled by the We build the wall group.



    The Pentagon will divert $3.8B from its budget to build more of Trump’s border wall
    WASHINGTON - The Department of Defense is diverting $3.83 billion from elsewhere in its budget to build more of President Donald Trump’s border barrier, according to budget documents reviewed by The Washington Post, setting in motion a broader White House plan to take some $7.2 billion from the Pentagon budget this year for the project as Trump heads into the presidential election.

    A wall from sea to sea would be nice. But with half our population working against America, I’ll take whatever I can get.

    I am fine with the president being given unilateral control over how pentagon funds are spent.
    Will make funding Democratic policies much easier.

    Keep setting that wonderful precedent!

    True.

    Besides, according to Trump's Fantastical Rhetoric from 2016 Rallies, it was supposed to be bigger than the Great Wall of China (by now).

    Now he is talking about a tiny portion by 2022 If he raids the Pentagon Budget?

    Does Lying and False Promises ring a bell?

    See that's the biggest issue in all this.


    Trump supporters are missing the lesson we all should have learned thanks to Harry Reid.

    Every overreach of authority allows the other party to use new-found authority as well.

    Despite democrats and their judges fighting tooth and nail to stop the wall it is being built. The Don doesn't throw in the towel.

    And you're assuming the house democrats or capital hill demo's learn from example's. It's clear they are incapable of learning much of anything, other than how to continually fail ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    The Pentagon told Congress that the funding is either in excess of the military’s needs or is not yet needed given the timeline of the programs in question.

    Since the military must not need that money, are we going to cut their budget when the wall is finished?

    Environmental concerns and the budget have both been labeled as issues of national defense (one by the pentagon and one by the fed). Like I said, thanks for the precedent.

    When Democrats/neo-communist come to power, they will start shipping money from the Pentagon in cash, on pallets to America's enemies.

    After President Trump is through Making America Great Again, the word "Democrat" will become a cuss and whatever leftover closet Democrats remain will reminisce of the good ole Obama times.

    Not a democrat — too fiscally conservative and anti-illegal immigration but a hung is a hug!

    Not sure there is any history of Democrat diverting Pentagon funds.
