Veteran's border wall GoFundMe raises more than $10 million

Friday, December 21, 2018
A Florida veteran has started a GoFundMe page to help pay for a wall at the United States border with Mexico.

The account, created Sunday by Brian Kolfage has already raised millions. Kolfage set the campaign's goal at $1 billion.

Two days after Kolfage created his account, a competing account popped up vowing to raise money for ladders that would allow immigrants to climb over the wall.

Kolfage writes, "If 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall."

Kolfage said he has contacted the Trump administration and a legal firm to ensure that the government can only use the money raised for a wall.



Kolfage also writes that he is a supporter of legal immigration.

"I have grandparents who immigrated to America legally, they did it the correct way and it's time we uphold our laws," Kolfage wrote.
