Facing an Unprecedented Crisis at the Border, Pentagon Approves Crucial Funding for Trump’s Wall Project

On Monday, March 25, 2019 the Pentagon informed Congress that it has authorized up to $1 billion in funding to go toward building the border wall along the American and Mexican border.

Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan has given the Army Corps of Engineers the green light to begin constructing 57 miles of 18-foot-high fencing in the border towns of Yuma, Arizona, and El, Paso, Texas.

According to the Associated Press, the Pentagon is diverting $1 billion to support the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection. These funds would be allocated toward installing lighting and constructing roads in those areas.

Shanahan stated that the Corps’ will be focused on blocking “drug-smuggling corridors.”

The El Paso region has quickly become the second-busiest corridor for illegals crossing the border right after Texas’ Rio Grande Valley. Many of these illegals are families coming from Central America seeking asylum. The Yuma area has witnessed a surge in illegal crossings largely from Guatemalan families.

Trump’s emergency declaration at the border now stands with Congress failing to muster enough votes to secure a veto override.

This latest news comes as a positive development for advocates of strong borders. Immigration reform advocates like Maria Espinoza believe that a border wall is needed to mitigate the negative effects of mass migration. She claims that “where fencing and barriers have been constructed, apprehensions of illegal aliens have declines as much as 95 percent.”

Others look at the European Union’s mass migration policies and the social damage they have done in recent times as to why America needs greater border security. President Trump went as far as to describe Belgium’s capital Brussels as a “hellhole” and warned about the pitfalls of uncontrolled immigration from Islamic countries taking place across Europe.

For closed border advocates, the construction of the wall is a good first step. However, other reforms that closed border proponents have pushed for like ending birthright citizenship and chain migration will encounter stiff challenges thanks to the divided Congress.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Plans to Introduce Articles of Impeachment Against President Biden ON DAY ONE

She’s citing Biden family corruption.

Georgia freshman Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is planning on introducing articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden the day after he’s inaugurated.

Greene made the announcement on Wednesday.

Greene is citing Biden family corruption, accusing Biden of standing by as his own relatives enriched themselves through business deals with foreign oligarchs, using the former Vice President’s family name.

Biden game-planned on messaging to dismiss his son Hunter’s involvement with corrupt Ukrainian oil company Burisma, receiving advice from the State Department while accusing the company’s oligarch owner of criminal activity. It didn’t occur to Biden to address the fact that his own son secured highly lucrative employment with Burisma until the topic became a point of political contention in the 2020 election.

Biden’s brother, Jim Biden, has also been accused of securing lucrative business deals in China under the auspices of the Biden family name. Biden has steadfastly refused to speak in detail about suspicious Biden family business dealings, even though he’s gone so far as to openly brag about securing the termination of a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden and Burisma for laundering profits of the former state-owned enterprise.

Greene is demanding that Biden be held accountable for the de facto licensure of his family name in Ukraine, an international liability that far surpasses anything proven to be real through a lengthy investigation into Donald Trump’s supposed connections of Russia.

The articles of impeachment are doomed from the get-go, with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi assured to protect Biden from allegations of corruption and poor governance. However, the Democratic Party has been unable to resist turning the presidential impeachment process into a wholly partisan, reactionary affair, and may reap the whirlwinds of their decision if Republicans willing to hold the establishment politician accountable gain majorities in the House and the Senate.
