“We Build The Wall” —unless we don’t bother filling out the paperwork.

The GoFundMe border wall campaign, which recently boasted “just under 1 mile” of completed wall construction in Sunland Park, New Mexico, was slapped with a cease and desist order on Tuesday because they didn’t have a building permit.

According to a report by local NBC affiliate KTSM 9 News, Sunland Park officials found that the privately-funded “We Build The Wall” campaign failed to complete the application for a permit and that the wall structure was over the maximum height limit.

  1. OMG rules we don’t need no stinkin’ rules. :joy:

  2. Okay, who had “24 hours” in the pool?

  3. And, was it also on private land?

  4. In most civilized municipalities / counties, walls put up on private property can’t be over six feet tall without special dispensation. Looks like the locals called out the moron fence builders and stopped the construction. Also, what about environmental clearances? I’m hoping there is some endangered / threatened species nearby, as this construction will cease permanently.
