Pardons offered in order to fast-track border wall - deckeda - 08-28-2019
‘Take the land’: President Trump wants a border wall. He wants it black. And he wants it by Election Day.
Eminent domain, slapdash contracts, dubious safety are also all on offer.
“Asked for comment, a White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the president is joking when he makes such statements about pardons.”
Except, humorless people don’t actually tell jokes.

He's desperate to fulfill that campaign promise because being cruel to immigrants and pretending the wall is helpful may end up as all he's got. He tweeted today that the wall is "going up rapidly" which is a complete falsehood and of course that other stuff is Amazon WaPo Fake News! The problem with a physical wall: we can actually check to see if it's there.

It's hurricane season and California fire season will start any day now. Funds to help these problems are being plundered.

I believe CNBC expressed it more clearly
Trump reportedly promised pardons to aides who break the law to build border wall by 2020 election
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/28/trump-promised-pardons-to-get-border-wall-built-before-election-report.html
President Trump has told officials to take new measures in a redoubled effort to build his long-promised border wall before the 2020 election, The Washington Post reports.
Trump has assured them he will issue pardons if his aides have to break laws to get the project done, the Post reports, citing current and former officials involved with the project.
denied by trump, but then, what isn't?

Has he sent out teams to Mexico to start robbing banks to get the funds for the wall?
