I don’t trust The Hill...

Does this confirm that Mexico will pay for the wall?

Trump should not be afraid to veto ANYTHING and he should make this clear to congress.

Trump has nearly a Trillion dollars of Presidential slush funding left over from the Obama continuing resolutions. At least that is my understanding.

Just take it from the State Dept budget and EPA budget. Say the wall is needed to protect our environment and our diplomatic relationships with Mexico. Therefore it’s a State Dept and EPA issue.

Design the wall so it is covered in solar panels and topped with wind turbines. That way the greenies will be with us.

= = = = = = = = =

You mean the wall that Senators Obama, Biden, Clinton & Schumer voted YES on? (Senate 80-19, 64 D Congressmen YES)

That money is in the same lock box that the Social Security Funds are/were.

The slowdown in numbers entering from Mexico is down dramatically.

No wall....not right now...not worried.

The slowdown alone makes me happy.

And remember, this wall goes back to 9-11 when both parties agreed to a wall...

When the Dems took over...we got nothing.
