"'Exclusive — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy Introducing Bill to Fully Fund Border Wall, Making Midterm Immigration Referendum"" House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy will introduce a bill this week that will fully fund President Donald Trump’s planned wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, thereby setting the midterm elections up as a referendum on immigration policy, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.
Outgoing Speaker Paul Ryan hinted at a post-election border wall funding fight on Monday.
“We intend on having a full-fledged discussion on how to complete our mission to secure the border, and yes, we will have a fight about this,” Ryan said of the wall fight that looms at a news conference on Monday.

Could be.
They should worry about the next primaries if they don’t start paying attention to the base.
It’s about time (if true).
It’s B.S. of course...but a good attempt at cover for vulnerable Republican House members
“Paul Ryan hinted at a post-election border wall funding fight on Monday.”
Since when did hints ever get anything done by Congress especially post-election?
“When the People Lead, the Leaders Follow”
Yes, a trick. If it was simply a bill of x dollars to fund the wall, nothing more, nothing less, that’d be fine. But I suspect amnesty and open borders Ryan and his deputies are simply using this shiny object (wall funding) to sneak through their pro-chamber of commerce cheap labor legislation before they leave.
“House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy Introducing Bill to Fully Fund Border Wall”
Well, I guess he wants to be Speaker. Nonsense! Elect Jim Jordan!
This is a McCarthy head fake.
Just yesterday, Ryan said the votes are not there in the Senate.
He is still trying for Ryan’s job and the ONLY reason this came up.
This could have been done over a year ago.
Now, all of a sudden...
Wall will be built.
With a new conservative leaning SCOTUS the wall can be built with defense funds by Corp Of Engineers.
Just make it taller and much more formidable.
Continue deporting until the supply dwindles to a trickle.
I don’t trust McCarthy.
We need Jim Jordan as Speaker.
And extend the wall on up to Canada, bypassing the not-so-great state of California!
? Can a goFundMe account be set up for a border wall?
More winning and now a spine too. How refreshing.
“Trump is teaching the GOP how to street fight.”
The only street fight most of these Republicans have ever witnessed is when the Democrats are kicking their asses.
They don’t know how to fight and they don’t want to know how. It’s just not part of their personality profile.
Their goal is to avoid trouble and not make any waves. They’re Republicans, that’s what they do.
“It’s a trick of some type with those two involved.”
Yes. It’s an election tactic, which is ok because 1. The house must be held and 2. They may be faking up, but too bad, they’re on record.
“No, more worried about Jim Jorden taking the Speakership”
Yes, this also.
McCarthy should not be speaker, though.
I don't want a "discussion". I want VOTES and money. Now.
