I _know_ this has a risk of being taxed by the IRS

i thought it being taxed would be a funny joke, that it is ironic and annoying. not a show stopper

I _know_ this has a risk of not being directly involved in the construction of a border wall

fraud is the more concerning issue

and is there a problem with questioning how my money goes from point A to B?

well, I find it unlikely that they could succeed in a fraud like this

they have advertised it as going to a specific place

you can’t defend against that. The gov can appropriate private land for such things, and even if the wall were somehow all going to be on private land it would be an ugly awkward looking mess.

so if it doesn't go there, the money comes back

inevitably

There’d also be a slew of regulatory challenges to it. It would also be outrageously hard to organize so many landowners to such a thing. Some of them don’t want the wall.

the U.S. legal system is well set up for this

@Coochie coo sure, but you could just talk to CBP and ask them what would be an effective private use of $11mm to $1bn

they advertise it as going to a specific cause

the how seems still a little iffy

well, if they fail, refunds are likely

GoFundMe is capable of refunding on a scale like this.

Uh, no

No call center person would know that and I’d have to pry and dig to get in touch with someone who would know

Not even CBP that would have that info likely

call center person?

is this veteran guy working at a call center or something?

dude somebody will figure it out

nobody really cares how

and if they don't, the money comes back

it's no biggy

if there's one thing I've learned over the last few years

wait Canada ?
