A high-ranking civilian official with the U.S. Army confirmed today that the White House has ordered the military branch to find money to build a wall on the Mexican border, DailyMail.com has learned.
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army Ryan Fisher, whose U.S. Army Corps of Engineers could be involved in the wall’s construction if President Donald Trump declares an emergency, said in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com that the country faces a national security issue.
'Look, we’re facing a national security issue,' he said. 'We’re waiting for more orders.'

If the wall were to be green-lighted, however, Fisher hinted that major civil engineering projects like flood control, dyke repairs and fish and wildlife restoration could end up delayed or temporarily stopped during the wall’s construction.
Fisher appeared today before 200-plus Florida environmental activists at the annual Everglades Coalition Conference in Duck Key to talk about Everglades restoration, the re-establishment of a cleansing natural water flow in a 734-square-mile area besieged by development.
The giant swamp west of Miami has been ailing, according to scientists, and the water supplies for nearly 10 million residents as well as dozens of animal species are under threat.
Recently, algae blooms in Everglades waters caused by overdevelopment and agriculture overflew toward the state’s Gulf and East coasts and caused respiratory problems for residents, fish kills and a tourism slowdown.
After years of wrangling, state and federal authorities hatched one of the largest-scale hydrologic restoration projects ever and started construction of reservoirs, flood control devices and canals at the projected cost of $20 billion.
If Trump were to declare the wall a national emergency and force the Corps to build it, one of the key agencies in the restoration could see its Everglades funding dry out.

'I shouldn’t make any comments on the wall because I might find that I’m contradicting myself as soon as I check the news on my phone,' said Fisher, a political appointee who worked as a legislative director for Vice President Mike Pence when he served as U.S. Congressman. 'But the president has asked us whether, if he declares the wall an emergency, we’d be ready.
'We assured him we’d be ready.'
The Corps then would have to be selective on which routine project it would discontinue.
'We would need to decide whether other civil works project are not essential to national defense,' Fisher said as some activists grumbled.
Fisher was asked whether building the wall could take money away from the giant anti-pollution Everglades project.

He didn’t rule out taking the Everglades money but tried to reassure the audience that the project is important.
'We assured the president we would find the money (for the wall), but we would have to take money away from unobligated projects,' Fisher repeated.
He hinted that that the Everglades restoration is among those.
'Everglades Restoration, however, is well advocated among politicians and activists in Florida,' he said, telling the audience not to worry.
He told DailyMail.com: 'We’re not at a point where we are choosing projects. But, the (Everglades) restoration could be considered a non-essential project.'
Like many worried activists in the Keys, Celeste De Palma, the director of Everglades policy at the Florida Audubon Society, said she was surprised by Fisher’s admission.
'(Fisher’s) remarks are interesting, and it’s interesting he volunteered the information,' she said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
