Trump will block border wall 'sections' in California until 'the whole wall' is approved
Washington Examiner, Feb  28, 2018, Katelyn Caralle

President Trump said Wednesday he would block portions of the border wall that California wants built now until the funding for the entire southern wall is approved and funded.

“I have decided that sections of the Wall that California wants built NOW will not be built until the whole Wall is approved. Big victory yesterday with ruling from the courts that allows us to proceed. OUR COUNTRY MUST HAVE BORDER SECURITY!,” Trump tweeted.

Trump didn't specify which parts of the wall that California wants to build today. But sections of the border wall that does exist in pieces in the state are reportedly being repaired and replaced, and Trump's warning on Wednesday could be a sign that he will try to stall those efforts until the entire wall is approved.

I think this kinda of 'negotiating' shows why he was successful with the unions in NYC.

Threatening NOT to build something the Dems hate.  That's some negotiating strategy.   He's got 'em right where he wants 'em now.    What's next?  Threatening to add trillions to the debt?...............oh wait.

If you read the short excerpt you'd know this is part of the wall that the Dems want.  Probably because it protects their houses.

Success with the unions is paying them off.

In the 1970s I heard that the Mob tax for constructing a skyscraper in NYC was one million dollars. I later read the very same in a newspaper. That reportedly bought labor peace and timely delivery of materials. All-in-all, not a bad deal.

Yes, Maybe and I don't know.   On the surface it seems to play right into the hands of General Xavier Becerra, DA of all things great in CA, who brought the suit against DHS and has pledged to continue to challenge the Trump administration over immigration issues and the wall.

I read it.  California sued to delay building the wall.  Both the Governor and the Lt. Governor have been quite vocal against a wall.  This from Roll Call:

It was unclear, given the opposition to the border barrier from California officials’ and many of the state’s residents, how delaying construction would be perceived as a punishment there. The threat, however, is likely to enthuse his conservative base, which is no fan of the liberal-leaning Golden State.

Who do you think are the top Democrats FOR Trump's border wall there?  Kamala Harris?  Diane Feinstein?

Brilliant! Terrorists, drug runners, murderers and illegals will never go past California's borders to wreak havoc in the other 49 states. There just aren't enough face palms for a strategy this inane!
