I thought the wall was already funded in the last spending bill.

That the Army Corp of Engineers would build the Wall.

I thought so too. What’s holding this thing up? The illegals are now all over Home Depot and they got no fear now..

Although Trump had asked for $25 billion for wall construction, the bipartisan spending bill provides what Trump called only an “initial down payment” of $1.6 billion in funding. But even that sum comes with significant strings attached.

Here’s what that $1.6 billion is for (see Section 230, starting on page 673):

$251 million for “secondary fencing” near San Diego.
$445 million for “primary pedestrian levee fencing” in the Rio Grande Valley.
$196 million for “primary pedestrian fencing” in the Rio Grande Valley.
$445 million for replacement of primary pedestrian fencing.
$38 million for border barrier planning and design.
$196 million for border security technology.

The bill further states that the money can only be used to build “operationally effective designs deployed as of the date of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, [May 5, 2017] such as currently deployed steel bollard designs, that prioritize agent safety.”

A lot of people including The President tried to make it sound like it was but in truth what little funding was appropriated actually restricted any new wall, only repairs.

I guess he finally heard Anne Coulter's solution(mine as well from day one) loud and clear.

It appears only about 3 billion has been allocated. We need another 20 more. Paul Ryan and company continue roadblocking funding.

With all of the chuck n nancy spending, the administration just couldnt get it done. Now that its midterms, more promises. Chuck n nancy have better things to do w your taxpayer collars.
I think the military is inefficient and their skills should be used appropriately.
Just more fake promises about the wall. Some great things have been done and we were promised all the chuck n nancy spending would benefit us..still waiting. All it did was fund the deep state.
You think someone would have learned from 1986.. but no.. chuck n nancy get all they can spend and we get more promises.
