MCALLEN—Construction of a private border wall in Texas can proceed, a federal judge ruled Thursday, over the objections of the U.S. government, which fears the project could shift the border itself and imperil a treaty with Mexico.
Fisher Industries, a North Dakota-based construction firm, is funding the estimated $42 million, 3-mile project on private property in South Texas’s Rio Grande Valley.
Heres your sign Congress! When private citizen are willing to take action. It means you are failing to listen and represent the people who elected you. This shows how out of touch the majority of Congress is and must be changed. BuildTheWall
Maybe the federal government should do its job to secure the lands and people of the United States. If your government fails to do what it is obligated to do, you form a new government
A trump judge no doubt. Didn’t care that it’s a violation of law. Laws don’t matter to the gop.
When has this administration cared about treaties, international law or the constitution.
Keep it on your own property.
The only thing it will “imperil” is the flood of potential illegal voters.
Walls don't work. They end somewhere, that's another entrance.

Appeals Court Allows Use of $3.6 Billion in Military Construction Funds for Border WallA federal appeals court allowed the Trump administration to move forward with plans to use billions of dollars in military construction money to build a long-promised wall along the border with Mexico. I'm coming with my dragon to burn the wall. Stay tuned. It kind of is though. SCOTUS probably won't overturn it. Which is good, because border security is one of the expressed responsibilities in the Constitution. True. But it means the court believes Trump is likely to prevail.
