“...there IS one thing no true leftist would ever agree to do...close the U.S. / Mexico border.”
In case you’re a fan of Cliff Notes.
Remember, though, that President Trump originally considered that only $2.5 billion was necessary for immediate funding of a response. The Democrats demanded over $8 billion, leaving an extra $5.5 billion. Now that the emergency declaration has opened multiple more billions, that extra $5.5 billion is now sitting idle.
What better way to spend it than to prevent further infestation of the Wuhan Virus through the porous Southern Boundary. An extra $5.5 billion will go a long way toward building the wall there, with NO congressional approvals required.
