Ann Coulter: Under the Constitution, Trump Doesn’t Need Congress to Build a Border Wall
Saturday on Fox News Channel’s “Justice,” conservative commentator Ann Coulter made the argument that President Donald Trump didn’t need Congress to have a go at building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, as he repeatedly promised during the 2016 presidential election campaign.
Coulter, frustrated by Trump’s decision to sign last week’s omnibus spending bill, said construction of such a wall was within his power as president given under the Constitution he was responsible for the country’s national defense.
“On the day after his inauguration, it’s his authority under the Constitution that cannot be taken away from him by any legislature, by any court — I’m quite confident the Supreme Court would uphold this — to defend our borders. I mean, he has — last war that had a declaration of war from Congress in it was World War II. And we engage in a lot of military actions around the world. I think it can be done right on our border for defense. Have the Seabees do it.”
Pirro replied by asking where Trump might get money to build the wall as “national defense.”
“The same place Reagan took the money to invade Grenada,” she said. The same place he took the money bomb Syria. He has money to spend on national defense. This is a much bigger problem of national defense. This our people being attacked with chemical warfare, not allegedly Syrians.

Illegal Alien Accused of $150,000 Pittsburgh Crime Spree Found in St. Louis

WPXI News out of Cranberry Township, PA reports that an illegal alien suspected of committing a string of home break ins has finally been arrested. But, the woman was not apprehended in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, but St. Louis, Missouri.
Monica Coria-Olvera is accused of stealing more than $150,000 from a slew of Pittsburgh homes last September.
Coria-Olvera, along with two other accomplices, targeted five different communities within Cranberry Township. Each robbery had the same technique; cracking the back door open and ransacking the house.
"On Sept. 14, 2017, we had a breakthrough in our investigation. It led us to this suspect found in St. Louis," Sgt. Chuck Mascellino, of the Cranberry Township police, told the media.
Apparently, Coria-Olvera committed similar crimes in Missouri. According to the local news station, police have no idea why she chose Pittsburgh, but it is apparent she is tied to organize crime. In just four days, she broke into seven different homes.
The woman does not speak English and has a Mexican passport.
"We went and got her and brought her back here to face these many charges," Mascellino added
She is being held without bond in the Butler County Jail. The case is particularly confusing as to who orchestrated the scheme.
Coria-Olvera's arrest comes at a time when America's lawmakers are debating the hotly contested border wall. Though candidate Trump's cornerstone promise, there has been zero miles of the wall built that could potentially prevent future would-be robbers, such as Coria-Olvera, from entering the country.
