"Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’ resignation, which shocked Washington’s national security establishment and rattled America’s allies, was sealed in a fateful 18-hour period that saw President Trump resolve to withdraw troops from Syria – alarming Pentagon officials who see America’s role in the region as crucial." foxnews.com/politics/behind-the-scenes-of-the-mattis-bombshell-more-resignations-expected-after-protest-exit

    HINT: Don't take any New Yorkers to the border. There is a helluva lot of cheap labor right there. You hire them, have them put up the wall, then you lock them on the other side of the wall as they finish the job. Few if any people know concrete better than Mexicans. If you have a couple billion left over at the end of the project, you can hire those same Mexicans to put a nice adobe finish on the wall. Adobe weathers better than naked concrete.
