The Republicans control both houses - a border security bill should have been ready to drop in the hopper on the first day of this session, and passed by both houses within the month!

It is INEXCUSABLE that we don’t already have this - and it is Ryan’s and McConnell’s fault. These 2 need to get off of their asses and actual do something...because Nancy will never do squat.

All my sens and rep are dems - but I called each local and DC offices and demanded they vote for the 5B for the wall.

If they supported 150B to give Iran they can damn well give DJT 5B for our protection!

If you don’t have all their numbers on your cell phone, and USE them, shame on you.

The GOP has been the biggest obstacle to The Presidents agenda.I do not understand how the RINOS have survived this long.

You do know that it would take 60 votes in the senate to pass such a thing and they only had 51 R senators, so your claim is completely wrong. Don’t you?

Right on target!

But the problem is - as has been the case for at least a decade - that too many in the GOP in both the House and the Senate are puppets of big business lobbying groups who finance them. And they've been told by their handlers to support amnesty for illegals and no border walls. Then, too, to get a border wall passed in the Senate, you need some 'Rat votes because of the filibuster rule, one might think.
