Congressmen Tom Reed and John Garamendi argue over President Trump using $23 billion in alternative funds to build the wall.

Trump tweeted in the last few hours

Will be getting almost $23 BILLION for Border Security. Regardless of Wall money, it is being built as we speak!
“How about the slush fund Obama used to send billions to fund terrorists?”
I keep wondering why someone in government does not reference that, to the whole nation, often.
If NYS loses another 1 to 2 House seats after the next census, bet Reed’s district gets gerrymandered.
You're right and I expect your comment to be ignored.
Every day an American dies because of an illegal alien invader, a Democrat Congressman should face charges from a peoples’ court. Trump can’t do it all and the Democrats have declared on the USA.
Great post. Thread wire across and post soldiers. Seems it’s not tough to money allocated to “repair existing fencing”, so spend new money on getting SOMETHING across ENTIRE expense.
Also, what about finding ways to get individual states involved in beefing up border wall?
Ted Cruz has already submitted such a bill.
“Until there is an actual wall being built”
there’s been threads of new wall sections on FR. Video of a woman even showing the new concrete base and metal rod sections going in.
“Every day an American dies because of an illegal alien invader, a Democrat Congressman should face charges”
ALL Dems and ANYONE voting them into office or working in support of their efforts to keep the illegal invasion and killing and harming of USofA citizens should face charges. I’m thankful to know they will answer to God in the end and God knows their hearts and is a just Judge.
Obama sent 5B to Africa without anyone signing off or voting on it.
The GOP-e didn’t even blink.
If you have the money, please use it. Who cares if they sue you. Obamacare was shoved down the collective throats of the American people. We can do the same back to leftists by building a wall.

I don’t believe anyone would have standing to sue over these discretionary spending moneys.
I don't want a campaign issue; I want a wall. President Trump should build the Great Wall of MAGA and get the entire thing done by the end of the fiscal year.
“How about the slush fund Obama used to send billions to fund terrorists?”
Also, how much is in that fund to handle sexual misconduct by politicians on capitol hill?
Pray He doesn't get tired of bailing our dumb asses out!
It should be remembered the Republicans controlled the House and Senate and kept promising Trump the money in the next budget go around. Trump is a business man-not a political-and takes people at their word to do what they said they would do. The Republicans never included it. If Trump is guilty of anything it was in trusting people like Paul Ryan.
Trump seems to have wised up but it's now just that much more difficult. I'm willing to cut Trump some slack on this one. In the end I think Trump will win and I think he knows he'll win.
I dont believe anyone would have standing to sue over these discretionary spending moneys.
Oh, Im sure the Dems and their beholden judges will find a way to delay/sue for use of the moneys.
Sounds good but until l see new wall using the new design on new real estate l fear this is just talk. One of the things that l hate the most about the “deal” is the restrictions packed into it. It’s Ryan’s BS all over again. Existing wall using existing Design. . No new wall no new design. Is it Trump’s fault? Hell no but if he want’s the wall he will going to have t escalate the battle.
“Hes going to make them argue over this for the entire year, and the general public will reach a stage by the primary period of 2020....that they realize Congress is more of the problem, than Trump.”
I don’t think he is going to stop current construction.Trump is going to have those crews working until either he is out of office after 2020 or out of office after 2024.
“The Executive can only spend money as the Congress directs.”
Unless it is discretionary funding.
“Since El Chapo was found guilty, seize all his assets and use them to pay for the wall.
Thats making Mexico pay for it.”
Ding ding ding!!!! You won the internet for today.
