A grassroots online campaign to fund President Trump’s proposed border wall roared past $8.7 million on Thursday, but questions remained about whether the feds would be able to accept the gift.
As of Thursday evening, 143,821 people had donated $8,742,182 toward Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage’sGoFundMe campaign, titled We the People Will Fund the Wall, just a little over three days after its launch.
The pledge drive aims to raise $1 billion to “uphold our laws, and get this wall BUILT!” Kolfage, a Purple Heart recipient who lost both legs and an arm in Iraq, wrote on the campaign’s web page. “It’s up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling.”

This WALL thing is such a fantasy. Drug runners dig tunnels. Immigrants are like mice and roaches and will get in any way they can. I wonder why we are not crossing the border to work for American Companies THERE. We use to move any where work was available all over the country but now people are stuck being local with families and comfort waiting for living wage jobs to materialize out of no where. Sitting around in their doomed communities waiting for elected miracle or a gift from God.
