House Passes Bill to Spend $1.6 Billion on Border Wall

These Republicans are such cuckolds. How hard would it be just to fully fund the damn border wall? The President can make Mexico pay for the wall later when NAFTA is renegotiated.

Sure $1.6 billion is a start, but that’s certainly not enough money to complete the project.

The Hill:

The House approved a national security-themed spending package on Thursday that includes $1.6 billion to start building President Trump’s proposed border wall.

The $827 billion package passed largely along party lines, with a vote of 235-192. Five Republicans voted no, while five Democrats voted yes.

The five Republicans to vote against the package were Reps. Justin Amash (Mich.), John Duncan Jr. (Tenn.), Walter Jones (N.C.), Thomas Massie (Ky.) and Mark Sanford (S.C.).

Five centrist Democrats voted in favor: Reps. Sanford Bishop (Ga.), Charlie Crist (Fla.), Josh Gottheimer (N.J.), Tom O’Halleran (Ariz.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.).

The bill includes spending bills for defense and veterans programs, legislative branch operations and the Department of Energy.

The inclusion of funding for a U.S.-Mexico border wall, which fully meets Trump’s budget request, makes it likely that Senate Democrats will block the spending package when it moves to the upper chamber.

Since the bill has to clear the Senate, there’s no guarantee that the $1.6 billion will even get approved. We’ll just have to see what happens.

If Congress keeps playing games with funding a full fledged border wall, Trump should work around them to get it constructed. Why not direct the military to build it? Or worst case, solicit private funding. Depending upon the donation amount, the donor could get their name put somewhere on the wall or something. I’m sure many of Trump’s supporters would be willing to help out if Congress keeps cockblocking them.

Who knows though, maybe Trump will be able to get Mexico to write a check and we won’t have to deal with this any longer.

Ultimately though, none of us care about the details. We just want the damn wall built!

Construction should have started on the border wall months ago and Congress still hasn’t provided funding. The whole thing is ridiculous!
