Border security package hits hurdles in final stretch
Fox News ^ | February 13, 2019 | By Alex Pappas, Chad Pergram

The difficulties come as the conservative lawmakers on the House Freedom Caucus, who want more funding for the wall, said Wednesday they're pushing for a one-week continuing resolution to fund the government -- giving lawmakers more time to work out a deal with more wall funding.

“The conference report is projected to be thousands of pages long and was negotiated behind closed doors,” House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., said in a statement. “We believe that members should be given enough time to read it before voting on it, so they can decide whether or not a better deal can be negotiated.”

Congressional negotiators announced Monday that they'd reached "an agreement in principle" on border security funding that includes more than $1.3 billion for physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border. The White House initially requested $5.7 billion for the border wall.

No bill should be longer than 1 page. Any more is obfuscation of special “deals” which screw the Republic and the Citizens. Congress is pathetic. The people who “work” there are proto-fascists.

Also shows this thing was cooked up in advance, and taken off the shelf to create a sense of urgency. No way thousands of pages were drafted in the short timeframe they were working with.

Yet, Congress will work at breakneck speed to pass “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” though. Trump better veto this pile of horse manure.

Lights, Camera, Action!

The first act of a new Kabuki Theater, like the one with the budget deal last fall, is about to start.

Will he VETO it? He might just VETO it! And then sign it with a big grin on his face.

Just sign it. Don’t worry about those extra 1,200 pages. It’s all just standard boiler plate stuff.

I’ll bet Pisslosi will put the kibosh on any amount for border security above what is already in the present bill.

"The dog ate my homework."

I guess the whole "deadline" thingee is a little bit too complex for our Uniparty puppetmasters...

I’ll bet $1,000 that the Stupid Party did not include a preamble citing illegal immigrant crime stats. If I wrote this thing, i’d Have two dozen “Whereas” paragraphs illustrating the crime stats.

I hope this Disaster crashes.

Its makes things worse .
The tiny Wall money cant go towards a real wall .

The Dems and cheap labor express get to CUT Ice beds every year!

It is a Trojan horse.

And the Rhinos like Shelby hate the wall and hate Ice too .

Thousands of pages with stuff tucked into it that will castrate the Trump presidency. The one-week resolution for time to read it makes sense. That's been a conservative and Trump campaign theme all along. Don't vote on anything until everyone has had time to read it.

I've got an idea. Instead of spending money in foreign countries (wars and illegal adventures, regime change, foreign aid) why not pay the US government workers?
