Trump caves on wall
CNN Politics
4/30/17
(CNN)Bipartisan congressional negotiators reached a critical agreement late Sunday on a massive spending bill that if approved by the House and Senate would fund the government through the end of September, senior aides from both parties told CNN.
The plan would add billions for the Pentagon and border security but would not provide any money for President Donald Trump's promised border wall with Mexico...
Trump's demand for the border wall down payment was rejected by Democrats. They decried the controversial project -- and key Trump campaign promise -- as immoral and premature since Trump has not detailed plans for building the multibillion dollar wall he had vowed Mexico would pay for anyway.
Talks were also stalled over a threat by Trump to cut off Obamacare subsidies paid to insurance companies to reduce the out-of-pocket expenses of some lower-income users of the Affordable Care Act, but Trump backed off that demand in the face of harsh criticism from Democrats.

I for one am glad Trump snared another $1.4 billion early funding for border security, specifically to fund more BP Agents, ICE agents, and more Immigration Judges. Plus I think there's some equipment in there, too. So I'm good with what Trump got out of the CR supplemental funding. I wish he could have also gotten the additional $1.6 for the 62 miles of wall needed in the San Diego and Rio Grande Valley Sectors, but he'll get that in September with other wall funding.
For the wall funding, we need a plan that includes how we're billing Mexico on trade, remittances and so forth to pay for it. How Mexico is paying for it needs to be part of the wall funding bill seems to me. Most Republicans probably don't care how its paid for, I don't anyway, but the campaign promise was Mexico will pay for it, so for that reason I think it should all be part of one bill in the regular appropriation process.A Nation Without Borders Is Not A Nation - Ronald Reagan

We want a real wall (or the double-layered fence that was promised back in 2006), not detention beds, drones and "surveillance technologies" etc.
Come September, I won't be surprised if Trump caves again and has another excuse.

Trump will get $1.5 billion for border security, but it can’t be used for the border wall or additional Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, according to one congressional aide. There are also no new restrictions on money going to so-called sanctuary cities that don’t fully enforce federal immigration laws.
Obviously none of the money can go for new ICE agents.Last edited by MW; 05-01-2017 at 03:06 PM.

"We don't expect there will ever be a wall," said William Gheen, founder of the Americans for Legal Immigration political action committee. "We think that he lied to all of us."

trump needs to be informed, he need not talk further @ an 8yr presidency if he can't come close to his promises we voted for.
We want deportation of all illegals and central american "fear" border crossers. Get them off our $$$$backs. We want E-verify IMMEDIATELY!
We want NO MORE MUSLIM REFUGEES - THEY WANT TO BE IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES! STOP THE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE CROOKED UN NOW. UN SHOULD NOT DICTATE TO USA!
