Sorry but this crap bill explicitly prevents Trump from reprograming funds for a wall.

If that is so then Trump shouldn't sign it.

Well there is two ways of looking at this. Trump can sign the bill as written then Declare a state of Emergency. Move funds around to build the whole wall and deport all the illegals captured in the United States. Or He can veto the bill and declare a state of emergency and build the whole wall and deport all the illegals captured in the United States..

"Take the money and declare victory. Then, use alternative means to get more money outside Congress."

That's the way I see it. If Obama can deliver pallets of cash to Iran, then I cant see why Trump can't deliver pallets of cash to the border wall.

meanwhile a bunch of us keyboard peckers will howl that the "sky is falling" and "Trump stabbed us in the back"....HAR HAR HAR

“The fewer beds, the more invading illegal alien insurgents that will have to be let go to blend in with citizens.”

They’re letting them all go. That’s the sick part of it all. Everyone that comes across the border is here to stay. It’s a full on invasion.

Surprised Texas hasn’t done it on its own.

Does it not have the authority?

Just a thought. In the future, I’m assuming the nation is gone anyway because there aren’t enough people in younger generations to bring the nation back to where it was; they weren’t there. But with President Trump in office, he can use this as incentive to process invaders more quickly. Send them back before they’re on US soil. Something like Ellis Island...they never get further than that point.

It’s a poison pill. It has language in it preventing the Pres. from using the military to assist at the border and limiting funding to only what is approved by Congress.

Stay calm & cool folks. POTUS, Trump has not yet agreed to these terms. I trust Trump whether he agrees to this weak sister budget or not. Why? Because I know Trump and he already has his plans in place to do & get whatever he wants or needs.

When a leader snaps his finger less then one week ago and says he is having a rally in El Paso, Texas & 35,000 people attend his rally....this is where the power is...period.

I’m betting he can build 90% of what’s needed with that $. Also use Army Corps of Engineers, State money, other DoD / NHS money, tariff money, lower negotiated contracts...

If this is in it, Trump won’t sign it. If anything like it is in it, it would show that Republicans are not just inept, but anti-Trump and anti-middle class Americans
