DoD: “Months†Before Any Work Can Be Approved For Border Wall

PENTAGON: More troops are heading to the US border with Mexico, Pentagon officials said on Friday. That brings the number deployed from the current 5,000 to about 6,000, even as the Pentagon considers transferring close to $4 billion to support the Border Patrol and build infrastructure. About 2,100 of the troops deployed currently are National Guard, the other 3,000 or so active-duty regulars.
While the troops will be on the move, it will still be “months†before the Pentagon can begin spending any of that money, even without the entanglements of multiple lawsuits already working their way through the court system.
