Oh, so the dumb fucking wall is still happening? And we can just waive laws now? Since fucking when, and how come the California High Speed Rail Authority doesn’t know about it, or does efficiency only apply when we’re increasing suffering?
And we can just waive laws now? Since fucking when?
I started looking into it and found this:
The controversial work, which included construction on federally designated wilderness, was permitted under the Real ID Act. Created in the wake of the September 11 attacks, the act grants DHS the authority to waive any law, including bedrock statutes meant to safeguard the environment and areas of cultural significance, to build border barriers in the name of national security.
Because the richest people in the US wanted to undermine a left wing government in Afghanistan in the 1980s they funded an army of appalling reactionaries which eventually turned against the US. Because of this, it is now legal to build the border wall regardless of the consequences.
We cannot; they can. The ruling class has only practical constraints on what it can do, but in truth bears no legal obligation to anything but itself. Individuals in the ruling class may receive punishment for lawbreaking, having violated their obligation to their class, but when the ruling class moves in a unified fashion, there is no such thing as them being bound by their own laws, because they are the ones who write the laws, enforce the laws, and rule on allegations that the law was broken (or, more accurately, they own the people who do those things). In a capitalist society, what has the general support of capitalists and thereby the major parties is always going to be “legal” unless a divide forms in that coalition.

Yes, correct. These are the rules of hellworld
Getting closer and closer to the Allied Mastercomputer reality everyday.
California high speed rail = inconveniancing white landowners
Boarder wall = getting to destroy indigenous graves and harm people displaced by US foreign policies

the laws have never applied to the ruling class.
