An easy fix like this, rather than spend $10 billion as “foreign aid” to the Central American countries and Mexico, save $5 billion and apply the funding to the wall.
It is not a matter of money. It is a distance and direction urination contest.
And Trump has the wind at his back.
Seems so obvious to spend the 5 billion on the wall rather than waste the 10+ billion the Democrats want to waste on something else. Their 10 billion won’t solve any problems, but building the wall will need to be done sooner or later anyway, & I’m sure the cost of building it later would be more. If disagreement on this leads to a shutdown...so be it. It seems like a win-win for the American people & isn’t this the reason Trump was elected???
