tRump Administration Cutting 20 Miles Of Extra Border Wall Because It Lacks Funds: Report

[ffr]

Lawyers reveal — then retract — plan for more wall in Arizona and California, according to a court filing, Bloomberg reports.



The Trump administration explained in a court filing Friday that it was scrapping plans to build an additional 20 miles of border wall in Arizona and California because it doesn’t have the funds, Bloomberg reported.

The filing is apparently part of an ongoing lawsuit by the Center for Biological Diversity, Defenders of Wildlife and Animal Legal Defense Fund, according to Bloomberg. The organizations sued the Trump administration early this year arguing that the border situation was not an emergency, and the fund-grab violates the Constitution by overstepping executive authority and sidestepping Congress’ authority to determine allocations.

In Friday’s filing, the administration explained that it had planned to build three additional sections of wall using cost savings from other portions, Bloomberg reported. But the expected savings will not be enough after all. - HuffPost

Good! That's 20 less miles of wall we'll need to tear down in 16 months.

1. AFAIK he still only paying for upgrades to current fencing and adding some new fence.

There is still no fn wall. Of course let's not forget that Mexico is still not paying for it.

4. oxy-acetylene could make that some useful parts

That thing is an offense to the eyes and landscape.

Lots of welders could turn those parts into art or practical things.

6. Ultimately it doesn't matter if he builds the whole thing.

Humans have been overcoming walls for multiple millennia.

9. Plus that whole thing about

how the majority of undocumented immigrants AREN'T EVEN CROSSING THAT BORDER

7. reminds me ...

"Without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?"

Wonder how many shelters could be built with the money and time going into that medieval monument to ignorance?

All that steel and concrete could be put to far better use.

11. Oh not to worry. It'll be built with the shoddiest materials, at the highest possible price.

12. in other words, another form of money laundering for TrumPutin's masters

13. As surely as the sun will rise tomorrow.

out by the window

10. we won't need to tear down any wall

most of this steel will be hauled to Mexican scrap yards before long.

without thousands of border patrol officers the wall can not be defended. with thousands of border patrol officers the wall is not really necessary.

the rwnjs think they can build a wall and their immigration problem is solved. as if no one in mexico has a torch or knows how to use dynamite or can throw a grappling hook or dig or any number of ideas much more creative than the trump fence.

14. cordless sawzall or hydraulic jack

That wall interferes with animal traffic. Humans can go through it or around it.
