Two members of the Texas House of Representatives are preparing a bill that would provide $2.5 billion to fund a border wall. The proposal would take the money from Texas’ “Rainy Day Fund.”
State Representatives Kyle Biedermann (R-Fredricksburg) and Briscoe Cain (R-Deer Park) are working on legislation to take $2.5 billion from the Texas Economic Stabilization Fund, also known as the Rain Day Fund, to provide funding to build a border wall along the Texas border with Mexico. The proposal is still in the drafting phase, sources tell Breitbart News, but a bill could be filed soon.
A source in Rep. Biedermann’s office told Breitbart News on Tuesday that the bill is still in the planning stages but calls for the funds to be allocated to the Office of the Texas Governor, who would oversee the process of allocating funds and getting the wall built.
The funds would be used to design, test, construct, and install physical barriers, roads, and technology along the international land border between Texas and Mexico with a goal of preventing illegal border crossings in those areas, Biedermann told Breitbart News on Sunday.

I was wondering about that. Why shouldn't the STATES build a wall. Or at LEAST help to fund it.
Plant some Cactus along the border !!! LOL
Mine the damn border & noone will dare come !!! Solved !!!
There not just staying in Texas, they'll be coming to a town near you real soon!
Why the heck didn't I ever think of that? That is great!!
If the landowners along the border agreed to allow a wall to be built on the southern end of their property, and it was funded privately (Go Fund Me Etc) who could stop them?
The only problem would be those areas that are state owned. If the states agree to it though, it might work, right?
