Vela voted against his own amendment — as did every other committee member except for Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.), who voted "present." Vela said he offered it to highlight how "absurd" the wall is.
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the ranking minority member of the committee, said building a wall is the wrong approach to security.
"This bill would authorize President Trump's wall at all costs," he said. "It is a $15 billion boondoggle that abandons past bipartisan efforts to stop throwing money at the border in an ad hoc way in favor of strategically employing resources."
They had 30 years since Reagan to go the strategic forces route.
What’s crystal clear, is that we didn’t even enforce the laws with the manpower we had.
New laws is a hollow promise. They won’t enforce them. So NO!
We need the wall you a__holes!
The wall has become a revealing object. It reveals the treason of leftists and some RINOs. We have prototypes being built right now, and soon, we’ll know which one is the specific one picked, so the bill could contain the actual specifics of the wall. They are absolutely in their death throes. It’s amusing to watch.
LOL. A Democrat concerned about boondoggles? LOL.
