A GoFundMe campaign that sought to raise money for a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border has reportedly led to the launch of a foundation whose member’s objective is to build their own barrier. Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage initially launched the “We The People Will Build the Wall” account and, with other Trump supporters, has since started the foundation, WeBuildtheWall Inc., according to The Associated Press. FENTANYL SEIZED BY BORDER PATROL IN RECORD BUST COULD HAVE KILLED 57M, OFFICIALS SAYIt’s reportedly not clear if a private group could construct the barrier, as they could face both legal and environmental issues. But the group announced in January that it would instead fund a private construction effort. So far, the government has awarded 14 miles of construction for a total of $313 million, or roughly $22 million a mile.
