The Pentagon is diverting $8 million in construction money from Peterson Air Force Base to help pay for fencing on the U.S.-Mexico border.
The military said Wednesday a planned space control facility at Peterson is among 127 projects that will be delayed or eliminated to shift $3.6 billion to the border barrier sought by President Donald Trump.

You know, as this plays out, I can't help but notice that here we are at the end of the FY and all these unexecuted funds are being moved around, and the Defense Department doesn't even blink. Why weren't these projects already well under way? It is September now. How many of these annual building projects are really necessary, and how many are just old-fashioned pork for congressional districts?

MAJ (Join to see) - Nope, I did not know that sir.
However, the question at the end of my post still stands, and the answer is a lot of it.
The next question is, did Rep Lamborn (5th Congressional District of Colorado) support this diversion of funds? From his website (link below) it would appear the answer is yes.

The United States is a nation formed on the rule of law. Each year, however, hundreds of thousands of aliens deliberately violate our nation’s laws by unlawfully crossing U.S. borders. Today, there are an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the United States.
