President Donald Trump's plan to pay for his proposed border wall by taking funds from more than four dozen Air Force military construction projects poses various national security risks for the U.S. armed forces, according to a report compiled by the U.S. Air Force.
"Security breaches have increased since the base began Operation Inherent Resolve Support," the report says."If not funded, the main gate remains vulnerable to hostile penetration in the midst of contingency operations and an increased terrorist threat."Government contractors erect a section of Pentagon-funded border wall along the Colorado River, in Yuma, Ariz. on Sept.
There is no guarantee the funds will automatically be backfilled, according to a congressional official and a U.S. defense official. The congressional official said the projects may be set back a year or more.
