In a bid to swiftly deliver on one of President-elect Donald Trump’s chief campaign promises, congressional Republicans are exploring ways to begin funding a barrier on the U.S. southern border starting as soon as April.

Months?
Nein.
Day One.
Win Win Winning.
Trump had campaigned that Mexico will pay for wall 100%. I guess that lawmakers weren’t following his campaign. Too busy supporting Hillary.
Corrections welcome.
going to have to bypass or eliminate the EPA BS. Mexicans cause more EPA damage than any wall could.
Failure by Republicans this time will be the end of the Republican party.
And as for Trump, this is his ‘Read My Lips’ moment.
How much is the loss of multiple factory jobs costing Mexico? If this work begins in earnest, you’ll see Mexico begging for a new start with us. I wouldn’t want to play Trump at chess.
On time, under budget.
Trump doctrine.

I totally remember when they passed that bill.
Duncan Hunter was one of the architects I believe.

Congress looks to start building a Mexican border wall within months

Apparently Congress has NOT gotten the message yet.
That is the OLD way.
Propose something, committee it to death, rework it 50 times, and MAYBE a year later something is done.
Playing Devils Advocate, in a sense Pelosi was very correct when she said pass it and you can see what is in it.
They rammed that thing home and watch DT follow suit with most everything he does.
He will be up tweeting in the middle of the night - talking about ‘talking points’,.....
Should be fun with a scream a day coming from the left.
Like the man says, if the Ds & Rs & Is don’t like you, you must be doing something right especially when the people ‘like’ you
