Walls coming and they so mad
A White House official told CNN late Thursday night that Trump would announce his executive actions, including a national emergency, at 10 a.m. Friday. The move will allow for about $8 billion for border barriers, and the official said the money would come from:
$1.375 billion in the Homeland Security appropriations bill. Congress said those funds cannot be used to build a wall but can be used to construct other types of barriers.
$600 million from the Treasury Department's drug forfeiture fund, which would come from an executive action.
$2.5 billion in Defense Department's drug interdiction program, which would come from an executive action.
Plus $3.5 billion from the Defense Department military construction budget, which would require the emergency declaration.
