Too bad. A Maginot line with bunkers would have been too cool.

House Republicans had to scramble late Wednesday night to fix a drafting error in a conservative immigration bill that would have accidentally given President Donald Trump $125 billion for border security, including his wall instead of the $25 billion intended.
The error, which happens occasionally during legislative drafting accidentally allocated $25 billion per year for five years rather than allocating the $25 billion over a five-year period.
The error, first reported by Politico, was just one of the last-minute hiccups that's unfolded around the House's immigration votes, which will occur later today and aren't likely to pass. House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, a conservative from North Carolina, also confronted House Speaker Paul Ryan on the House floor over which version of a conservative immigration bill had been sent to the House Rules Committee just moments before the panel convened to go over the bills....

Yes, $125B will build a nice POTUS-matching wall.
Congressional rounding error.

Is there a list of these so called Republicans.
Except Congress can’t make a 5-year commitment on funding, can it?
What wall?
Fricken.....sharks.....lasers
Damn lobbyists can’t even type when they are drafting legislation.
What? Your thought your duly elected legislators drafted their own legislation? Mere legislation is way below their lofty perches. Drafting legislation is why there are lobbyists and big dollar donors. Gotta make sure all the cut outs are well hidden.
Nope. Catch and release most definitely did NOT restart, and the Freedom Caucus won. It’s a GOOD day.
I assume that this version had the Pacific Coast, Chicago, NYC and DC Swamp containment option.
Explain to me how the freedom caucus won today. Are you nuts?
Let him have it. He’ll still have the wall finished under budget, and refund the rest.
The GOPe/Ryan backed bill was defeated. That’s how. No, I am not nuts. But you must be uninformed.
