Wall Off to Unambitious Start

(Before It's News)

Did you think Trump was just posturing with all his bluster about building a big beautiful wall and forcing Mexico to pay for it? Maybe this will set your mind at ease:

The Trump administration wants the first $1 billion of border wall funding to cover 62 miles — including replacing some existing fencing along the southern border.

The $999 million requested by the White House in its budget supplement for just defense and border security spending would cover just 48 miles of new wall, according to justification documents from the Department of Homeland Security obtained by CNN.

Forty-eight miles of new wall is better than nothing. As for the rest of the 1,989-mile-long border, maybe he is waiting for Mexico to send the money.

Meanwhile, Trump has renewed his attacks on congressional conservatives and confirms his intention to focus on working with Democrats.

Will the promised wall get built? Maybe we should ask Chuck Schumer.

Time will tell whether it materializes.
