Trump Could Tap Pentagon Funds to Kick-Start Border Wall Construction

President Trump and the Border Wall

Stymied by Congress, President Donald Trump has turned to the gargantuan Pentagon budget as a possible source of funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border, according to an exclusive report by Just Security.

Kate Brannen, deputy managing editor of the publication and a nonresident fellow at the Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security, said Friday on “The Laura Ingraham Show” that most of the money for defense is off-limits. But there is some “wiggle room,” she said.

    Although I’m not sure a “wall” per se is going to stop the flow of illegal people or things, it can’t hurt! Regarding this approach, heck, every single military installation in the US is ringed with a fence that we citizens payed for. Pretty sure the military can loan us some of their funds…that we gave them!
