Since neither Mexico not the US Congress are paying for the construction of the border wall, a group of US citizens have assumed the responsibility of chipping in.
Those eager to see a wall on the US-Mexico border launched a public fundraiser on GoFundMe on December 16, with a $1 billion goal. In the span of a couple of days, the organizers amassed $5.1 million in donations from 83,737 people, according to The Wall Fundraising Team’s GoFundMe page.
