   One picky problem is called the "Anti-deficiency Act".
   [3]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antideficiency_Act
   While this Wikipedia article doesn't clearly state it, I believe that
   one thing the Anti-deficiency Act prohibits is private entities from
   contributing  money to government projects.  Although, I don't know if
   the ADA would prohibit a private entity from simply building a wall, on
   private land, at the usual and expected distance from the border, at a
   location that the Federal Government wasn't planning to
   block....(cough, cough) (ahem, ahem...)
