The president has reportedly told staff he’ll just pardon them if they break the law while trying to build the wall
that the president has “directed aides to fast-track billions of dollars’ worth of construction contracts, aggressively seize private land, and disregard environmental rules, according to current and former officials involved with the project.” In the coming weeks, Defense Secretaryis expected to approve the White House’s request to reroute $3.
Also, just so it’s clear, the president himself has admitted that he knows the wall is totally pointless but that he needs to spend billions of dollars in taxpayer money, force people out of their homes, and damage the earth because his supporters do a “Finish the wall!” chant at rallies, and you have to respect the chant, which is basically a binding contract:
Trump conceded last year in an immigration meeting with lawmakers that a wall or barrier is not the most effective mechanism to curb illegal immigration, recognizing it would accomplish less than a major expansion of U.S. enforcement powers and deportation authority. But he told lawmakers that his supporters want a wall and that he has to deliver it. Trump talked about the loud cheers the wall brought at rallies, according to one person with direct knowledge of the meeting.
