GOP Leaders May Drop Wall Funding to Win Democratic Approval for Other Priorities
Breitbart ^ | March 28, 2017

Posted on 03/28/2017 7:11:55 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Amid Democratic opposition, Republican leaders are retreating from President Donald Trump’s very popular campaign promise to build a border fence to block illegal immigration, drug smugglers, and criminals.

A top GOP leader, Sen. Roy Blunt, told reporters on Tuesday that GOP leaders do not want to include Trump’s spending for the border wall in the spring budget, which is due by April 28. “All of the committees, the leaderships of the House and Senate, are working together to try to finalize the rest of the FY17 [budget spending] bill,” he added. “My guess is that comes together better without the [border] supplemental,” he told The Hill.

Top Democrats are hoping to wreck Trump’s presidency by blocking any funding for his key campaign promise. “The wall is a poison-pill rider,” Schumer said in an interview with Politico. “They’ll do it at their peril.”

RINO's Ryan, McConnell and all the rest of them have become emboldened since Trump's negative tweets about the House Freedom Caucus.

Just an observation.

The Dems never submitted a budget in 8 years. Get a budget signed them fund with found money, like granny jeans. Pay no attention to those traitorous hypocrites.

Republicans own everything right now. If they pass immigration or healthcare or any substantive legislation, they will have no rallying cry in the 2018 midterm.

GOPe it’s strategically thinking ahead to 2018 and 2020 elections. They win nothing if things settle right now when no election is happening. Just simple fact.

They, (Republicans) are not brain dead. They heard us loud and clear.

The fact is they DON’T CARE what we want because they don’t represent us. They represent those who fund them and allow them to enrich themselves at our expense. They do THEIR bidding, NOT ours.

The sooner the populace realized this, the sooner we can Drain the Swamp.

They will be voted out if they follow through on this. Hope President Trump can keep the cats on task.

All the GOP-e are open borders globalists. Trump needs to tell them to go to hell. No wall, no tax breaks. Screw you.

No, the GOP elite establishment leaders never have been for border enforcement. They have always wanted to flood the US with cheap, easily controlled labor for their business friends.

Don’t be fooled. This has nothing to do with the wall. It has everything to do with the GOP elite thinking they can sell their typical open borders policies as a “conciliation” to Democrats.

Trump needs to not fall for this lie. Tell them to go screw themeselves.

Trump is going to fund the wall initially with grant money taken away from sanctuary entities. He doesn’t need congress for this. The entities will squawk no mas. Then Trump starts deportations... ALL illegal criminal Central Americans will start to be dumped in Mexico... And then Mexico will squawk and pay for the wall.
