Trump to sign executive orders enabling construction of proposed border wall and targeting sanctuary

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/president-trump-is-planning-to-sign-executive-orders-on-immigration-this-week/2017/01/24/aba22b7a-e287-11e6-a453-19ec4b3d09ba_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_trumpdhs910p%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.780c24524867

President Trump plans to sign executive orders Wednesday enabling construction of his proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and targeting cities where local leaders refuse to hand over illegal immigrants for deportation, according to White House officials familiar with the decisions.

The actions, part of a multi-day focus on immigration, are among an array of sweeping and immediate changes to the nation’s immigration system under consideration by the new president. The moves represent Trump’s first effort to deliver on perhaps the signature issue that drove his presidential campaign: his belief that illegal immigration is out of control and threatening the country’s safety and security.

Trump’s immigration blitz this week is widely seen inside the White House as a victory for the self-described populist wing of his inner circle — which includes chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon, attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions and top policy adviser Stephen Miller.

But discussions were ongoing Tuesday about just how far to go on some policies, in particular the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA. The 2012 initiative has given temporary protection from deportation to hundreds of thousands of people who arrived in the United States as children. Trump vowed during the campaign to reverse it.

I always knew he put the public on the hook for his fucking hairbrained stupid ass idea. the mouth breathing morons on the right actually believed the fucking moron when he said that he would get Mexico to pay for it.

if this colossal pile of bullshit goes through, this alone will be enough to kill this country financially. Couple this with all his other pie in the sky stupidity and we are broke.

you can't just order a fucking wall to be built with government money. That's a violation of the fucking constitution.

And you are right because once federal money is appropriated to
a project it just can't be moved to a different one.
