both bills were Goodlatte bills. Neither had the wall. The freedom cause withdrew all support. We were lie to in the description of the bill. They told us 25 billion for the wall. That was an absolute lie.
Now we will rely on the clear and unequivocal statement of President Trump that he will close down the government if the wall is not in the September continuing resolution. I am a little worried because he backed down and signed that horrible OMNIBUS bill but his statement was in cement and we want the WALL or nothing!!
Would you mind providing some (reliable) sources for the claim that neither bill provided funding for the wall? The usually highly reliable, anti-illegal immigration site NumbersUSA says that the Goodlatte bill authorized $10.3 billion per year for four years (so $41.2 billion total) for the “construction of physical barriers” and “improving tactical infrastructure.” It says the Ryan bill appropriates $24.3 billion total over eight years for these same things (with $16.6 billion specifically for building a physical barrier on the border).
Why in the world wouldn’t Trump use all these billions of dollars on building the wall? What other constructed physical barriers could all this money be used for if not the wall? Trump’s the one who gets to implement the spending after all.
