Trump’s Border Wall Gets Billions in Budget Proposal
WASHINGTON — To secure the southern border — his top campaign promise — President Trump next year is seeking to hire 100 new government lawyers, add 1,500 law enforcement officials and spend more than $1 billion on detention and deportation, according to the White House budget plan released on Thursday.
The proposal, which includes a $2 billion down payment on Mr. Trump’s signature border wall, is one of the single largest investments in the president’s budget plan. Yet experts say it appears only to scratch the surface of what Mr. Trump has pledged, and highlights the difficulty of translating campaign promises into a workable, governing reality.
“It’s easy to promise things until you have to pay for them,” said Theresa Cardinal Brown, the director of immigration policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center and a former senior official at the Department of Homeland Security. “It is certainly an attempt to begin to carry out what he promised.”
Mr. Trump is proposing to pay for his border security plan by marshaling savings from across the federal government. To what extent it is ultimately funded will depend in large part on Congress, which makes spending decisions based on the president’s proposals.
Another failure that the rubes will make excuses for and gulp down like so much piss

I've also heard that some Mexican construction companies may actually be paid to build the wall. Hilarious!
This presidency has so far turned out to be a failure of epic proportions.
If it slows down illegal immigration human trafficking and the flow of drugs entering the U. S. I'm fine with that.
It won't.
The US had the chance to stop human trafficking and the RWNJs refused to help.
The drugs will continue to come. Its just silly to think a wall will change that.
It is silly to think the wall wouldn't slow down the trafficking of drugs, and I would like a link to substantiate your first assertion.
Remember when drumpf said he wanted to make it easier to steal American's land?
Donald Trump’s Mexican Border wall is happening, and he’s taking Texans’ land for it
The eminent domain was not allowed when George W. Bush tried it last decade

It has already been reported that many West Texans are opposed to President Donald Trump’s proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall, but now it appears that one group with a particularly strong reason to dislike it — individuals who own land that the government might covet for building that wall — are in danger of having their property seized from them.
"Maria Flores, a Texas woman who along with her siblings co-owns 1.2 acres near the town of Los Ebanos, received a letter in the week before Trump’s inauguration declaring that the government would seize her land using eminent domain."
Two things I noticed from that statement from your link. Flores is an Hispanic name and would take the side of her fellow Hispanics and the Obama administration sent her the letter.
So if she had been of German extraction, she would have cheerfully given up her land for pennies on the dollar?
That's just plain stupid.
Her land is her land. Period.
The cheeto said he wants to make it easier to steal Americans' land and that's what he will do.
Can't wait for more illegals to start fleeing this country.
But I'm a little disappointed in Lying Lefties promises to move to Cuba.
How come you lazy mofos haven't started packing?
Why haven't you denounced your Citizenship like you promised to?
The Wall is way cheaper than paying for Criminal Aliens, and will end up saving us money. Then maybe you broke ass Libtards can finally afford to leave our country.
Win Win!

I swear to fucking god, you RWNJs don't read or learn or remember or -
Are you really saying you would like to stop human trafficking but don't remember children being turned away from our southern border?
And no, a wall will not slow or stop drugs.
Finally, most undocumented in the US are not from Mexico or SAmerica and almost none are coming across now.
This is nothing but hating people who are brown. That and the gullibility stupidity of the right.
If you don't know these things, might I suggest you do what I did?
1. Go out and buy a computer.
2. Get yourself hooked up to thee InerWebs.
3. Get a LIB-rule to teach you how to type in G-O-O-G-L-E-dot-COM
4. Educate yourself.
Because, YOU voted for this lying cheeto and you're going to pay for it.

Isnt it funny, they took all of what Trump promised them and used it to say its real change, leadership, outside the box. Then when he sticks with twist that he was lying they pretend that saying they dont care is a defense for being duped again.

Texans Receive First Notices of Land Condemnation for Trump’s Border Wall
The government offered $2,900 for 1.2 acres near the Rio Grande. If Flores chooses not to accept the offer, the land could be seized through eminent domain.
Jen Reel
The ribbon left by the DHS in 2008 to note where the border wall would enter on Aleida Flores’ land still remains.
The week before Donald Trump’s inauguration, Yvette Salinas received a letter she had been dreading for years: legal notice that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) wants to build a border wall on her family’s land in Los Ebanos. The 21-page document, entitled a “Declaration of Taking,” is addressed to her ailing mother, Maria Flores, who owns the property with her siblings. The letter offers Flores $2,900 for 1.2 acres near the Rio Grande. If she chooses not to accept the offer, the land could be seized through eminent domain. “It’s scary when you read it,” Salinas says. “You feel like you have to sign.”
The 16-acre property has been in the family for so long that none of them can remember the year it was acquired. Salinas only knows they’ve had it for five generations. Her uncle runs a few head of cattle on the property, which lies not far from Los Ebanos’ most famous attraction, a hand-drawn ferry that shuttles cars and their passengers across the river to Mexico.
Bottom line is that the US caused this problem and the US should take responsibility for that. As it is, innocent people on both sides of the border will pay a huge price for a wall we don't need and that will not work.
Not only will the wall pay for itself, we'll be raking in $ from the many options Trump has available.

I notice you avoided blaming Obama and blamed Trump. A real American would donate 1.6 acres of the 16 to keep illegal aliens from coming into the US.

Same with health care. The cheeto admitted to Tucker Carlson he knew his plan aka LyinRyan's plan would screw over the very people who voted for him.
But hey, the good news is that every single thing he has done and said he plans to do will enrich him, his family and his 1% cronies and that's really the important thing, right?

She should DONATE her land?????????????????
Why?
Boy, you RWNJ assholes have no problem at all giving away other people's property.
Obama isn't prez. Look at the date of the letter. He wasn't prez then either.
Yeah you can fuck off with that anti-American bullshit, fuck faceIf you truly believe that Mexico will pay for this wall, then you're dangerously stupidTrump’s Border Wall Gets Billions in Budget Proposal

How is that again? He stated before he wants to get construction going, so he is going to use money to get it going...and then get Mexico to reimburse it........are all left wingers like you this stupid?
If you don't believe Trump will get the money back you are the one that is dangerously stupid. In addition, you are an anti-American piece of dog squeeze.
It most certainly will pay for itself, and Trump has several options available.Not only will the wall pay for itself, we'll be raking in $ from the many options Trump has available.
No, actually it won't. Nor will "we" be raking in $$.
OTOH, his cabinet, made up of Goldmann Sachs, K Street lobbyists, billionaires who literally paid for their seat -- they will be raking it in. Do a little reading. Educate yourself. Google is your friend but how about you go read the garbage that drumpf has already signed.
If it slows down illegal immigration human trafficking and the flow of drugs entering the U. S. I'm fine with that.
It won't.
