Federal funding for one of President Donald Trump’s premier policy proposals may be excluded from the House GOP’s budget for Fiscal Year 2017-2018.

House Democrats, along with a few House Republicans, are working around-the-clock to make sure funding for the estimated $12 billion border wall is not factored into the GOP budget, according to a report by The Hill.

“With Democrats united against new wall funding, it’s unlikely the Republicans have the votes to get it through and prevent a government shutdown,” The Hill report stated.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, in a statement to The Hill, seemed to concede that border wall funding would not be included in the GOP budget, saying the funds would come at a later date.

The GOPe want Trump to be a one-term president. This would do it.

“may be exclude”

a story about absolutely nothing

[JBW1949]

If anything, it could cost some idiot GOPe seats....

[stars & stripes forever]

Don’t mess with MAGA promises.

[LS]

Nice job RINOs. Way to lose the house. Utter cowards & morons.

[Paulie]

Is this another “3D chess/checkers” situation?

That’s the usual explanation to ward off those disillusioned with the first 100 days.

WALL / IMMIGRATION / HEALTHCARE / TAXES

[gspurlock]

Then shut down the government. No back salaries paid. The savings can be used to help build the wall!

[Despot of the Delta]

Declare it a National Security priority ending all funding arguments.

[thinden]

That’s what l’m thinkin.

More primaries.

Should President Trump be stymied by these people, I’d love to see him Tweet that he is setting up a GoFundMe account to build section(s) of the wall and perhaps even ask some building companies to contribute labor and materials (can he generate a tax credit for that?).

He’s done an end-run on the Media via Twitter, so this tactic would just be more of the same - as well as be a giant embarrassment to Congress.

At least do a piece. I saw the plans for a wire fence...it was awesome. I'm pretty sure there's some unused funds.

The big thing is....a lot of Mexicans are thinking twice before they go border jumping.

[JBW1949]

Yep...Quite a few need it anyway...Primary their butts back home....

[Sacajaweau]

Shut downs are dumb. And they have ALWAYS been paid.

[M. Thatcher]

House Speaker Paul Ryan, in a statement to The Hill, seemed to concede that border wall funding would not be included in the GOP budget, saying the funds would come at a later date.

Uh-huh.

Sorry, but the days of Paul Ryan's "we'll do it later" game are over.

[ground_fog]

Paul Ryan wants to be in the minority..b cause it’s the uniparty anyway.

[TLI]

Rep. Mike Rodgers (R-AL) have been vocal in their support for Trump’s border wall, proposing legislation with other GOP lawmakers to pay for the wall by taxing illegal immigrants, as Breitbart Texas reported.

Rogers said his legislation is “simple,” saying in a statement that “anyone who sends their money to countries that benefit from our porous borders and illegal immigration should be responsible for providing some of the funds needed to complete the wall.”

We have already allocated the money.

The illegals cost us as much as a complete coast to coast wall every two years.

We can get the money (again) from the illegals.

Build. The. Damn. Wall.

[JBW1949]

He’d like it cause he wouldn’t have to do any work and could just complain...

[Flick Lives]

“may be exclude”

A caveat big enough to drive a truck thru.

[Taxman]

We are witnessing the pussification of the Republican Party!
