Is Trump Using Omnibus Bill To Now FULLY FUND The Border Wall? It Sure Looks That Way.
Whispers are now rampant that President Trump is using the significant funds allocated to military spending in the most recent omnibus bill he signed last week to allocate full and immediate funding for the southern border wall project. If so it would be a brilliant side-step maneuver that would outflank the anti-secure border members of Congress – including many among the Republican leadership.
An omnibus bill is not a budget and so allows a president considerable powers to spend those funds as they choose.

control over how it is used. If this actually comes to pass, the left is going to
be crapping peach pits!
No, Zippy did it for 8 years.
A lot of this will come out of the DHS and Corps of Engineers civil projects budget.
The president has been working with the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of Homeland Security to build the wall.
