House Democrats staked out several positions on immigration through the appropriations process on Thursday, advancing spending bills through the appropriations committee that would block President Trump from tapping military construction funds for his desired U.S.-Mexico border wall and pave the way for “Dreamers” to work on Capitol Hill. Democrats included language in a bill that funds military construction and veterans programs for 2020 that blocks any use of military construction funds from 2015-2020 from going toward border wall construction. “Whether we agree or disagree on the need for a wall or whether there is or is not a crisis at the border, I hope this committee can agree that funds for the wall should not be stolen from previously approved vital military construction projects that are to a dollar, a higher priority than any wall,” said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Florida Democrat.

Assume it won’t get past the senate or will be vetoed?
Jerks. They hate the American people, if this doesn’t prove it nothing will
The war to save our country enters another phase.
Bus all the illegal aliens to each one of them idiot Dems home city, starting now.
Either Trump figures out how to successfully address immigration issues via Executive Orders or this country is sunk.
From last year’s CR omnibus, the President already has $1.414 trillion military funds for fiscal 2018 and 2019. Fiscal year 2019 ends Sept 2020.
This action is all for show.
Reminder. We never signed that minefields treaty.
Low hanging fruit for Barr to pluck!
In other words, the Democrats have sided with Mexico and against the USA.
Basically yes!
“...previously approved vital military construction projects...”
Wonder if Schultzie would think these were “vital” if Trump wasn’t wanting a wall????
Make the campaign commercials from this. Make them eat it..................
No, we can't agree.
It is a bill. Just like you can claim anything you want to in a lawsuit, you can put any old thing into a bill. Just like a lawsuit, it doesn’t mean that you will be successful in getting what you want.
Who needs minefields when we have a choice between quad-.50s and mini-guns, placed about every 3/4 of a mile in towers, with 10,000 rounds each?
Still not a crisis yet??
Why do Democrats HATE America?
‘“Whether we agree or disagree on the need for a wall or whether there is or is not a crisis at the border, I hope this committee can agree that funds for the wall should not be stolen from previously approved vital military construction projects that are to a dollar, a higher priority than any wall’
