55 miles represents only 2.8% of the total border length.
Do any of us only pay 2.8% of our mortgage?
Pay only 2.8% of our car payments?
Pay only 2.8% of our grocery bill?
Pay only 2.8 % of the tuition of our kids in schools?
May the teenager in the house only 2.8% of the price of mowing the lawn?
May only 2.8% of the price of books & school supplies?
We all know that doesn’t happen.
IF this bill is over 1000 pages long, then you can bet the farm that the Dems have hidden something terrible inside it.
After Obamacare debacle, every single bill that is sent to the President for signing should be on the internet for at least 10 days for EVERYONE to see it & find the flaws.
Enough with the surprises from the Dems.
I would also advocate RIF pink slips for about 200,000 Federal employees, and put all that $$$ toward the barriers at the border.
They didn’t cancel. They just reduced the route
To one absolutely NO ONE will use.””

Do any of us here on FR fence only 2.8% of our property?
This whole process by the dems to deny Trump a key win has caused the Trump team to look for money in many strange places. Guess what; they found a lot of money they can use. If the dems gave him what he wanted, they might not have searched so hard, if at all. Well played dems:-)
IIRC, it is exactly 25% of what Trump asked for.
The perimeter of my property totals 2040 feet.
IF I only fenced 2.8 %, that would be just over 57 feet.
That certainly doesn’t keep my animals safe.
Trump should take the money ($1.38 Bil.) and run.
Hell no it would be a cave in take money from all programs the democrats love most lessons must be learned,no go along to get along BS.
No matter what the democrats tell you VETO IT! Remember Bush and how “Read my lips... no new taxes” became more new taxes and how they bragged about how Bush backed out of his pledge to the voters. It is a ploy to make the POTUS look like a total gullible fool. Don’t fall for it, Sir!
That is may take as well.
We go from “there will be no wall” to “there will be a wall”. Also, “no money for a wall, not one dollar” to “$1.xB to *start* with”. This is an agreement on initiative.
The rest just becomes an issue of prioritization of the wall sections. There’s no argument of needing it. There will be less resistance to providing more funding next year. If we can find other money in the mean time to just continue or expand agreed upon initiatives then all the better.
Take the money thus proving the left “wants” a wall. Get the rest from the other government agencies surplus or emergency funds. The OK already exists. Hang the wall around the lefts neck.
