As this would fall under the budget of the DHS, this figure would come out of other budget areas of the DHS. Though it will only be a partial amount that will be taken from other budgets, as the project will last more than a year, Congress will likely be appropriating funds specifically for this which will come from the general fund. As the Executive does not have the authority to name the revenue source, that will be up to Congress to legislate.

Congress isn't going to deny him this project.
It's about time someone in Congress tried to deal with the Illegal Immigration problem. Everyone up to this point keeps making little changes here and there and avoids actually tackling the problem.

Bel, there is not enough Republicans in to make an Amendment is there?
