U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) has a new idea for protecting the still-unfinished border wall championed by former President Donald Trump: Turn any part of the wall into a national monument. He’s calling it a “Donument.” The national monument would consist of 289,920 acres of land in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. The secretary of interior would be in charge of administration of the monument. The bill is unlikely to go anywhere in the Democratic-controlled House.
