Carla Babb ✔  @CarlaBabbVOA #BREAKING #Border @ActingSecDef Pat Shanahan confirms he is transferring $1.5 billion in Pentagon funds for the border wall, including funds Pentagon was saving for #Afghanistan. But then tells me "I won't be reprogramming any more money for the border wall." Department of Homeland Security officials, both current and former ones like President Obama's DHS Chief Jeh Johnson, insist there is a crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. There were over 100,000 apprehensions in April alone, the highest monthly total since 2007. At a recent hearing, Shanahan said the Pentagon has sufficient funds to build at least 256 miles of the wall. https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1126207345263095814 RNC Research ‏  Verified account @RNCResearch Acting Secretary of Defense Shanahan: soon building 256 miles of border wall, 1/2 mile per day  https://youtu.be/T5mGFgRd7L8  ( LINK BELOW ) https://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortneyobrien/2019/05/10/pentagon-approves-additional-15-billion-for-border-wall-n2546165
