Transition: Transition Official and Border

transition: Instead, they would rely on existing law that already authorizes fencing and other technology along the southern border, according to Hamilton Spectator. The potential approach was disclosed Thursday by two congressional officials and a senior transition official with knowledge of the discussions; all spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. His tweet came as congressional Republicans and his top aides consider a plan to ask Congress to ensure money is available in U.S. coffers for the wall without passing any new legislation. Trump said in a tweet early Friday The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the Great Wall for sake of speed will be paid back by Mexico later! Mexico's president and other senior officials have repeatedly insisted that Mexico won't pay for a wall. But Trump never settled on a mechanism for how Mexico would pay. During his campaign, Trump repeatedly told voters if elected he would build a wall along the U.S. southern border and make Mexico pay for it. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
