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.
The reason the Goodlatte 1 failed was the freedom sucks read the bill and confronted pail rino on the floor over absence of truth on the funding. They were lied to by rino. Had they stayed in , it would have passed. Then Goodlatte 2 didn’t have the wall money and it was going to be defeated again. The Republicrats met in caucus and were told that if they put the wall in it might pass but it took a huge rewrite so they pushed the vote off until Monday!! This is exactly the lies and deception that happened in the omnibus bill. Zero dollars for a wall, just border repair for a lousy 1,6 billion for repairs only..“ start on the wall”is disingenuous at best. Not a foot of new wall has been built. Only repair and use of concrete was forbidden. Any time you see “ border security” that is a euphemism for “ you wall people, go to hell” by the rino/ GOPE. The bill is hidden from the public!! Why?? Why can’t we see it?
