Trump briefed on plan to divert Puerto Rico, California disaster relief funds for border barrier

President Trump is considering using billions of dollars of Army Corps of Engineers funding to build more than 300 miles of barrier on the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a report published Thursday evening.

Trump spoke with top defense officials while flying to the southern border Thursday about having the Army Corps build a 30-foot bollard-style steel barrier along 315 miles of the 2,000-mile boundary, according to NBC News. Currently, roughly 600 miles has a wall or other type of restrictive boundary.

The Army Corps project would take 18 months from start to finish, Trump was reportedly told. New or enhanced barriers would go in at areas with the highest levels of illegal immigration, including the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas; San Diego, Calif.; El Centro, Calif.; and Yuma, Ariz.

But the means of attaining the funding could land Trump in trouble.

Not so sure I buy into this story when an article doesn't say it's directly quoted from the President or one of his staff ... it's hard to believe when the article states "according to a report published". 
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I disagree.  Circle gets the square.
