As the government continues to face backlash over its decision to divert $3.6 billion in funding for military construction projects to the development of President Donald Trump's long-promised wall, we now have a clearer picture of which initiatives will be affected.

In a letter, which was first reported on by The Daily Beast,Defense Secretary Mark Esper outlined 127 projects expected to lose a total of $1.7 billion in funding. While Esper said that money would not be pulled away from "family housing, barracks, or dormitory projects," the list reveals an array of initiatives within the U.S. and around the world that will be affected.

Among the initiatives that will be impacted by the funding diversion are educational facilities for children, weapon maintenance facilities and firing ranges.

'A slap in the face'
Democrats have slammed the Trump administration's decision to pull funding away from military construction projects to fuel the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer calling the move a "slap in the face" to members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

"It is a slap in the face to the members of the Armed Forces who serve our country that @realDonaldTrump is willing to cannibalize already allocated military funding to boost his own ego, and for a wall he promised Mexico would pay to build," Schumer wrote in a tweet on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement that the "the administration's irresponsible decision to transfer funds from appropriated U.S. military construction makes America less safe and dishonors the Constitution."

"The President is negating the Constitution's most fundamental principle, the separation of powers, by assaulting our Congressional 'power of the purse,' and is undermining the oath of office we take to protect and defend the Constitution and the American people," she said.

Rather than building a wall, Pelosi said that if the U.S. wants to deter migrants from coming to the border, the government should focus on addressing "the root causes of migration," driving asylum seekers to the border.

"As our bipartisan Congressional delegation saw firsthand last month in the Northern Triangle countries of Central America, we should be strengthening U.S. initiatives. Yet, the Administration has decided to move critical funding from effective and proven counternarcotics and stability and security initiatives to build an ineffective, wasteful wall. This senseless decision will only worsen the underlying causes of migration," Pelosi said.
