I don't have a problem with people donating money for security. We just need to make sure it gets used for what it was intended.

It is thinking outside the box. Perhaps the person who came up with it should run for office. However, I would rather have the hypocrites in office removed for not funding the wall and securing our borders.

The goal could be reached if everyone who voted for Trump donates $80.00.
I hope it is successful, but it isn't clear whether you can make a conditional gift of money to the Federal government. From the Treasury website:
How do I make a contribution to the U.S. government?
Citizens who wish to make a general donation to the U.S. government may send contributions to a specific account called "Gifts to the United States."
This account was established in 1843 to accept gifts, such as bequests, from individuals wishing to express their patriotism to the United States. Money deposited into this account is for general use by the federal government and can be available for budget needs.
These contributions are considered an unconditional gift to the government. Financial gifts can be made by check or money order payable to the United States Treasury and mailed to the address below.
