Make some and split it up for each Texas county and/or town. Include in the fine print that the money may be used towards fencing, landscaping, labor, etc. In the really fine print, state that it isn't limited to these locations or even Texas.

abenjami Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I saw a case in court out here where this couple started a gofundme to pay for the Wife's cancer treatments. They used a lot of the money to remodel their house. ChesterCopperpot1, rns90, and OILERMAN 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently this guy is quite a piece of work... https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/briannasacks/veteran-trump-wall-brian-kolfage-immigration-facebook Brian Kolfage, the decorated Iraq War veteran spearheading the massive, viral fundraising campaign to build President Trump’s border wall, who has a history of peddling right-wing misinformation on Facebook, pushed the limits of misleading content in pursuit of online traffic and profits until he was ultimately banned from the platform, according to multiple former employees and a review of internal communications. The 37-year-old has spent more than a decade carefully crafting his public persona as an altruistic, conservative public figure, but people who have worked with the veteran told BuzzFeed News he can be vengeful and malicious, and that the pursuit of profits above all else fueled his behavior. The veteran has also spearheaded other crowdfunding ventures over the years, raising thousands of dollars on GoFundMe with the promise of helping mentor fellow vets at military hospitals, but spokespersons for the medical centers said they have no record of Kolfage working at their facilities or donating any money.
