Chuck Schumer Hints at Extra Border-Wall Funding
Breitbart ^ | November 27, 2018 | Neil Munro

Posted on 11/27/2018 4:49:41 PM PST by EdnaMode

The Democrats’ Senate leader, Chuck Schumer, suggested to reporters Tuesday that he could endorse spending more than $1.6 billion in 2019 for President Donald Trump’s border wall.

“We are for strong border security,” Schumer said, adding, “The $1.6 billion for border security negotiated by Democrats and Republicans is our position. We believe that is the right way to go … Stick to the $1.6 billion … We’re not negotiating in the press. This is our position.”

But Schumer did not suggest what price he may demand in exchange for agreeing to President Donald Trump’s demand that $5 billion in border wall funding be included in the delayed 2019 budget for the Department of Homeland Security.

“The Democrats’ Senate leader, Chuck Schumer, suggested to reporters Tuesday that he could endorse spending more than $1.6 billion in 2019 for President Donald Trump’s border wall. ‘We are for strong border security,’ Schumer said”.

Schmuck’s polling and focus grouping must show that the Dims are sucking air on this issue.

The catch is this. Rats fund the wall. When they take power, the let pretty much everyone in through ports of entry & amnesty the 20 million illegals already here.

I don’t know why they didn’t think of this before.

The “catch” is that Breitbart is reaching here.
RINOs who would have supported funding now want to keep it as an issue to run on in 2020. That’s how RINOs always look at issues.

If there IS anything to this view of Chucky’s remarks- it’s that Chucky’s jerking consrvatives around.

What's the catch?

House and Senate Dems and RINOs want to attach funding for the Wall, to a bill that will protect the Mueller Witch Hunt.

In a statement to the Press, Chuck Schumer said “We’re not negotiating in the press.”.

Schumer’s staff did not return calls asking whether he understood the word “ironic”.

Chuck really got his deal the last 2 times - Feb 2018 & March 2018 and POTUS got bupkus.
- 2 year opid deal
- CHIPS additional dollars and 4 year extension of time for 10 yrs total
- Dead Medicare programs brought back to life.

Pres. Trump signed the March 2018 dealbecause of the defense increases, otherwise - Feh !
