I sent out tweets this week end to Donald trump, Ted Cruz and to the Texas republican party suggesting that a way around the democrat obstructing the funding was for Texas to build it.

They were all there last night at the rally. Abbott, Cruz, Cornyn, Paxton, Trump and Pence.

Hummm…

I am sure my tweet was lost in all the communication that this group of people get gets but on can hope that it was seen...this is a possible work around for funding the wall only bad thing is that Texas would be given a unfair tax burden that really should be paid by all the states.

Wrongo—— a “bollard fence” is not... a WALL. The 65 miles of level ground, shallow walking water depth Rio Grande on the border... .has.... NOTHING.

Not signing it. Proceeding with the war time National Emergency and the “Existential” chemical warfare WMDs that are the thousands of pounds of chi-com and other created fentanyl derivatives and analogue compounds. Just for a start...

"Sorry my American friends, but if President Trump signs this it is a total CAVE. You don’t start a fight you don’t intend to win. His success has been because he’s been steadfast. Handing Pelosi/Schumer a total victory at the expense of National Security will be his downfall, and the downfall of America. President Trump is America’s last best hope. If he gives up the fight, the electoral demographics will make it impossible for a conservative Presidential candidate to ever again be elected, no matter far the Dems swing to the lunatic left. This is Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Battle of the Bulge, Iwo Jima and the TET offensive rolled into one. The stakes could not be any higher."

There is a lot of truth in your statement. The Democrats and their fellow travelers are playing the long game. Every month more undocumented Democrat voters are racing into the US with the assistance and active collusion of those who intend to swamp those Americans who are trying to save the country. Soon, the sheer numbers will preclude a Republican from ever being elected again if we cannot stop this mass invasion now.

Shelby is nothing more than a Dimocrat in RINO clothing. He jumped the Dim boat when he saw our state of Alabama going Republican. I wish people here would wise up and send him packing next election along with his brother dimocrat Jones. Jones, approval of baby killing by abortion, has to go!!!!!!!!!!!! This state is the #1 conservative state in the Union and the #2 Christian (behind Ole Miss) state in the Union. We don’t approve of abortion. Jones does.

No it’s not. There are plenty of photos of the 18-30 bollard fences currently being built.

Forgot to mention that new construction has started this month. For those who are not happy with the steel bollard type barriers, the Border Patrol is. They never wanted a solid concrete wall. They prefer to see what the illegals are planning on the other side.

Past Border Patrol Directors and current BP Agents have been on Fox News time and again explaining their preference. It's being built, just not fast enough and long enough to my and others' liking. Again, the photos are all over the Net.

Plus, the Army is putting up triple strands of concertina wire where old barriers exist. Why do you think the first caravan is still in Tiajuana? Remember the photos of huge crowds milling around on the beach next to the border across from San Diego. They aren't there anymore because of the layers of concertina wiring.

Last point: It's been mentioned that Trump could use US Code for authorization to divert funds. Forgot the specific section.

Weird thing about the price of this wall?

The cost of 4 miles of new replacement wall in El Paso is 22 million. $5.5 million per mile. If you do the math, that means we could build the wall for a grand total of 5-6 billion.

Also this cost may include taking down the old fence too which is an expense.

If there isn’t a regular budget by December, sequestration sets in automatically ($150B budget cut) due to OBAMA and the Dems.

Mark Thiessen says that would be the best game for Trump to play. No way the Dems can get out of owning it, jobs losses, etc.

Heard on Fox, this crap deal limits Trump ability to reprogram funds.

Bad enough if true.

But if that's the case, I'll bet there's a clawback provision in there, too...

It's not the democrats; it's the republicans. They didn't want it when they had the power and now they simply have an excuse not to support a wall. Look at the bill: a loaded with billions for crap only the globalist fat cats want. And apparently there is a reduction in bed space for detainees and... and more refugee money.

This is not a cave; it is a sinkhole.

I don’t trust republicans any more than I do the stinking communists of the Dim party. THEY ARE ALL in it for how much they can cram into their pockets. They are not up there for us. How many of them go up there for 25-40 years of “service” (cough, cough, choke, choke, cough), and return to their home states after they “retire”, er I mean finish making their millions in deals with the crooks who pay them to vote their way. They don’t come home. There is no money in coming home to Kansas, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Minnesota, Iowa. The money is in DC!! They stay there and do their criminal deals. I don’t TRUST ANY OF THEM!!! As far as this American patriot, retired US Army sergeant, Vietnam veteran, 10-years in overseas assignments, and my 70% disabled body that has undergone 13 surgeries, of which two were backs and a most recent knee replacement. I fought VA for 25 years to get all my disability. I hate the stinking VA. They kill those out in Arizona by not treating them. I have a broken, ruined body from military service. The stinking government wants me to die. I get three checks from the US government, social security, military retired and VA. They want me to die. It saves them a few thousand bucks. That is why they do what they do to us. They make millions then screw me over a thousand a year in VA disability. I don’t trust ANYONE in the belt way. They are in it for themselves, not the people they allegedly represent. Screw the bums.

Absolutely not! This bill is written to piss off Trump supporters and turn them against Trump. As I read this, it restricts use of money for only bollard fencing, cannot build any wall with any other money until Sept 3019 and cannot build walls in any States Parks. It enhances the catch and release program and screws taxpayers out of 415 million to care for illegals. WTH there is nothing conservative in this bill anywhere. Sign a CR for one month and tell them to try again. He signs this even declaring a National Emergency will prevent any wall construction while the caravans flood this country.
