Re: The Wall:

Money from a retirement program for the US military is slated to be diverted to pay for Trump's border wall

Pentagon officials announced this week which programs will lose Defense Department funds to build the wall, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Notably, around $224 million will be taken from the military's Blended Retirement System, which combines elements of the military's retirement system with a system offering benefits similar to civilian 401(k) programs.
Other programs slated to significantly lose funding: $604 million that was supposed to support Afghan security forces; $251 million of Pentagon funds intended to pay for the destruction of US chemical weapons; and about $343 million in spending from Air Force weapons programs "where officials have negotiated reductions or canceled systems," according to the Journal. Funds for construction projects for military bases across the world could also go toward the border wall.

In an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business's "Mornings with Maria," acting Customs and Border Protection chief Mark Morgan said the Defense Department funding will go not just to a wall, but "a wall system."

"There's technology, there's access roads, there's lighting," Morgan said. "Every mile that goes up we are exponentially raising our capacity with the border patrol to do their job effectively."

Not sure where this goes, but thought some may want to see the reality of the immigration crisis, is that it isn't only CA or Mexicans who are affected. I am sure it won't saw some of the extremists, but maybe some will understand more clearly, or at least have mounting evidence they are insane, or just hateful people.

Edited, thanks for pointing that out. I just came through the same cross on Tuesday, and it was deserted, which gave it all the more context to me.
