The Trump Administration searched the Pentagon’s Couch cushions and found a few billion just lying around. They collected it up and directed it at another national security issue, the southern border. Democrats snapped and sued. A district court issued a stay on construction, but that has now been lifted.

“The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals just reversed a lower court decision & gave us the go ahead to build one of the largest sections of the desperately needed Southern Border Wall, Four Billion Dollars. Entire Wall is under construction or getting ready to start!” the president said on Twitter.
The case is still pending, but there is nothing to stop work while the trial works itself out. Anyone familiar with how these things go knows it could take years.
I’d expect the open-borders crowd to find another judge in a different circuit to reinstitute the stay, but I’m not clear on how that works if it does. But if it can be done, it will.
Democrats care less about the drugs, gang, crime, and drugs than they do the opportunity to move congressional seats into their column by filling districts with illegal aliens they want to be counted as citizens.
The administration’s southern border strategy makes that goal more challenging, so they must object on whatever terms are available.
Here’s to hoping they get a bunch of wall built in the interim.
