The Pentagon isn’t asking Congress to move money for the wall. It’s telling them. And they can't do jack squat about it!
Oh, and two flying fickle fingers of fate for Fake News MSN spreading LIES!
(The logic is that the wall will impede drug-smuggling corridors, though all available evidence suggests that the majority of drugs smuggled into the US through Mexico come via official ports of entry.) Even the NYT's cites US Border Patrol data showing increasing activity on sea (Caribbean corridor especially as well as CA) and in the border areas of (not just the official entry points of) the Rio Grande and NM & AZ areas. And, they cite increasing air-drops by ultra-light, and from 1990 to early 2016 224 border tunnels have been merely discovered!
And they are throwing stuff over the border, catapulting it, and using mules...which with the massive influx of illegals crossing has to have increased as well! Especially thanks to Soros-funded schemes!
Plus...what Fake News likes to also not mention...the wall will allow USBP personnel to be more flexible as to where they are needed most...at and around checkpoints or weak areas not walled/monitored!
traitors too cowardly to say they NEED ILLEGALS!!!
While Congress can’t affect reprogramming authority for 2019, it can reduce the amount of money the Pentagon is allowed to reprogram in fiscal year 2020. And House Democrats on the Appropriations and Armed Services Committees have promised to “zero out” reprogramming if the wall money was transferred without their approval.BFD! Seriously, how well do they think their chances are? Since reaching budget agreements has been rendered DOA everything has to go through reconciliation which House asshats won't get all or any what they want or there is a shutdown...if the latter we can demand what the libtards always asked for, a continuation of the status quo...where this time the status quo has current levels of funding and current reprogramming language!
So... Eff them!
Que the Happy Dance!!!
