I'll take that bet Waiver issued so construction of border wall can begin Calexico, CA - The Department of Homeland Security has issued a waiver to waive certain laws, regulations and other legal requirements to ensure the expeditious construction of barriers in the vicinity of the international border near Calexico, California. The waiver was published in the Federal Register today. This waiver is pursuant to authority granted to the Secretary of Homeland Security by Congress and covers a variety of environmental, natural resource, and land management laws. The Department has exercised the waiver authority in Section 102 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), as amended, on five previous occasions from 2005 to 2008, as well as exercising this waiver authority earlier this year for a project in the San Diego area, which was announced in August. This current waiver covers certain border infrastructure projects in the United States Border Patrol's El Centro Sector, a critical sector for border security. In fiscal year 2016 alone, the United States Border Patrol apprehended more than 19,400 undocumented immigrants and seized approximately 2,899 pounds of marijuana and approximately 126 pounds of cocaine in the El Centro Sector.

I know for a fact...having heard it from them over drinks and dinner...that some pretty heavy hitters in the Ag industry will try and thwart it. They're scared they won't have workers. So, let's see if the swamp drains or not. None of this BS, "Oh he's orange" "Oh he hurt my feelings" "Oh he filed bankruptcy". This is the swamp. It's a damn deep and OLD swamp.
