House Democrat: ‘Pelosi lied’ about border wall funding in omnibus
Washington Examiner ^ | April 27, 2018 | by Laura Barrón-López

A House Democrat who represents a district along the southwest border in Texas is accusing Nancy Pelosi of lying last month when she said Democrats restricted funding for new border barriers to “see-through fencing” in the omnibus spending package.

Rep. Filemon Vela, D-Texas, is targeting Pelosi on the issue.

“When we were passing the omnibus she said that all we were doing was funding see-through fencing - it’s just not true,” he said.

“Basically Trump’s getting what he wants, at least for these 25 miles he’s getting concrete wall,” Vela said, who is a staunch opponent of any funding for border barriers, even fencing. “It’s disingenuous for Democratic leadership to say they’re against the wall when they actually supported this kind of funding for a concrete barrier.”

He is representing Mexico in the United States House of Representatives, not the citizens of the United States of America.

Isn’t the 25 miles of concrete wall being built with money from an earlier appropriation and not the recent omnibus spending spree?

And yet not a shovel full of dirt turned not a yard of concrete poured.

Actually, he is a cultural Marxists. I can’t post a link on my phone. But if you Google cultural Marxism you will see the entire new Democratic party explained.

Rep. Filemon Vela, you idiot, you have to pass the bill if you want to find out what’s in it! Everybody knows that.

So, in other words, the Democrap, Felonious Villain wants to commit treason, and demands that Pelosi be held to task for only committing a slightly less offensive treasonous act.

Also, water is wet.

Yeah, sure, that’s why California is so conservative.

California is proof tthat every single thing the government says about immigration is a lie.
