Mulvaney on Border Wall: ‘It’s up to Somebody Else to Figure out Where the Money Comes From’

‘You’ll see some of the wall being built this year’

EXCERPT:

MULVANEY: "Your number is correct. It’s 1.5 for 2017, back to your question about 2017, and I think 2.6 for 2018. People have asked me a couple of times, does that build the whole wall? No, it doesn’t, but it gets us a start on the program. You’ll see some of the wall being built this year and then obviously we increase funding in 2018, but the wall will take longer than two years to build. As to the source of funds, that’s up to the President and the Treasury and the State Department. We’re the guys and gals at OMB who take the money that we have and allocate it on a budgetary process. It’s up to somebody else to figure out where the money comes from."
