US prepares to start building portion of Texas border wall
AP | By NOMAAN MERCHANT | Feb 4, 2019

Quote:The U.S. government is preparing to begin construction of more border walls and fencing in South Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, likely on federally owned land set aside as wildlife refuge property.

Quote:Congress last March approved more than $600 million for 33 miles (53 kilometers) of new barriers in the Rio Grande Valley. While President Donald Trump and top Democrats remain in a standoff over Trump’s demand for $5.7 billion in border wall funding, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has pushed ahead with building what’s already funded.

Can't the House just vote to defund or rescind that budget allocation?

I'm sure Fransicko Nan is scrambling to get this fixed immediately. It's immoral.

It would still require Trumps signature or a 2/3 vote in both the House and Senate to overide his veto. Neither is going to happen.
