After promising a wall, President Trump delivers.

FOX5 reports the first 14 miles of new wall construction will commence next week in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley.

This section will be expanded to 25 miles this year.

First Texas and California

The targeting of Texas for the first new border construction is deliberate — Texas is the jurisdiction of the Conservative Fifth Circuit Court.

Any challenges to new wall constructed in the Rio Grande Valley would be subject to appeals to a friendly court.

Concurrently, replacement of 14 miles of existing barrier in San Diego has commenced.

According to The Washington Post, funds for both constructions come from the $1.4b approved by Congress.

The Administration has yet to re-allocate (non-emergency) defense spending, let alone the unallocated funds which were part of the national emergency declaration.

Admin Spending Strategy

Last week, the President sequestered $600m from the Treasury’s drug forfeiture fund and $2.5b from the Department of Defense’s drug interdiction program. These funds were not part of his national emergency declaration.

However, an additional $3.5b in “emergency” directed funds was from the military construction budget. (It is these funds that are the subject of lawsuits which most intelligent people expect the President to ultimately win).

The Administration plans on spending the total $8b in wall money, sequentially.

First: The President will spend Congress’ recently appropriated $1.4b, specifically for new walls, in places like Texas, and repairing damaged walls in places like California. These funds were part of the budget deal.

Second: The Administration will spend $3.1b from Treasury and Defense budgets tied to anti-narc programs which were not part of the emergency declaration, but the President can spend as he wishes.

Third: $3.5b in emergency declared funds will be redirected to build new portions of the wall. This portion of the money is being challenged by open-borders leftists in federal court.

However, President Trump will very likely win this battle. Read why here.

His Way

Regardless, this strategy will allow construction of new barriers to progress, at a regular pace, well into 2020. Moreover, once the President wins in court, the $3.5b in emergency funds will inoculate him from the need to approach Congress for additional wall funding until after the 2020 elections.

Meanwhile, the optics of a very shrewd President — campaigning against the backdrop of new wall construction — will be an indelible image of 2020.

Truly, a promise kept! God Bless President Donald Trump.
