Pip Squeak Mayor Trying To Stop Border Wall Construction

A pip squeak mayor is demanding that construction be stopped on a privately funded border wall in New Mexico.

According to Newsweek.com:

The mayor of Sunland Park, New Mexico, has issued a cease-and-desist order to a private group that raised millions to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. 

The wall is being constructed by We Build The Wall, a private organization which began a GoFundMe fundraiser in December 2018 when President Donald Trump faced opposition from Congress in receiving a proposed $5 billion to construct the barrier. 

To date, the group has raised over $22 million of a $1 billion goal, of which the group's leader, Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage, said has been established only because that is the highest monetary allotment that GoFundMe allows for a fundraiser. 

The cease-and-desist order was issued on Tuesday after it was determined that the group did not have the proper permits for construction, city spokesperson Peter Ibardo told The Texas Tribune.

“The city has not provided any permits, it has not approved of the construction that has gone up already. They built the structure without authority or any building permits from the city," Ibardo said. 

Speaking to KTMS, Sunland Park Mayor Javier Perea added that the wall is also in violation of city ordinances that regulate how tall a structure can be. Perea said that the application for construction were never returned to the city by American Eagle Brick. 

The company owns the land where the wall was partially constructed over the Memorial Day weekend, the Tribune said.

Her Royal Highness said this:

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico, also a Democrat, said: “To act as though throwing up a small section of wall on private land does anything to effectively secure our southern border from human and drug trafficking or address the humanitarian needs of the asylum seekers and local communities receiving them — that’s nonsense.”

That's far more than what she's been doing, namely, rolling out the read carpet for illegals.

We cannot allow the pip squeak mayor interfere with the will of the people in this matter. I hope this doesn't become necessary, but we may have to have people go down to Sunland Park to defend the construction crews and the completed sections of wall.

Have gun, will travel!
