Sen. Ted Cruz, others announce bill to fund $25 billion border wall

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz with three other senators introduced a bill Wednesday that is aimed at fully funding a wall along the US-Mexico border... The WALL Act would fully fund the border wall by closing existing loopholes that provide illegal immigrants with federal benefits and tax credits, without affecting the benefits and tax credits used by Americans.

Uh, IIRC, all spending and appropriations bills originate in the House - not the Senate.

In Oct, McCarthy (House) proposed increasing the 5 billion, from the House appropriations bill, to 25 billion for the wall..... and some Senators on the board, like Murkowski, balked at that by saying the didn't know where the additional money would come from.

Cruz, Infoe, Rounds and Kennedy just put up a bill that answers Murkowski's question.

As part of this bill, it would be a perfect complement to cram through a national voter ID card as a supplement to ensuring the honesty of elections.

And now I’ve picked up a stalker.

The Hussein Head Cruzbot CatherineofAragon employed the same “strategy” in 2016.

They’re still butt-hurt and looking to take America down.

Please DO keep the horseclinton coming, TROLL!

[ontap]

You need help friend....I hope you get it!!!!

[ontap]

So for all you non-Texan, Cruz bashers

You nailed it right there....they won't even say where their from....that about says it all!!!

[ontap]

That's really a misnomer....all any senator has to do is get a Representative to sponsor his bill

[treetopsandroofs]

Thank you, and especially for representing the intolerant deranged Cruzbots here!

CatherineofAragon would be so proud, KEEP ‘EM COMING!

Apparently, folks, Cruz and his bots have been encouraged by Big Media to make their move.

Does Rafael Edward really think he can split up enough Trump supporters to put his babe BJ’s wife in office in 2020???

Poor Cruzbots.

[Carry me back]

Fund the wall through private donations, problem solved.

[monkeyshine]

If I recall correctly a bill was already passed, just not funded. If that makes a difference? Also, no reason the Senate cannot propose a bill, the House takes the text and passes it first then it goes to the Senate for passage.

[dragnet2]

Typical Cruz supporter being evasive. Who gives a s**t where the poster is from? That has zip to do with his/her responses.

[BeauBo]

People have tried to raise private donations for a border wall. They could only raise around $100K. One billion is about what a major political party can raise during a Presidential election year (when there a big potential policy paybacks in play).

Only the Treasury has the kind of money needed

[ontap]

You’re from California and bitchin about Ted Cruz....that’s choice ...how about cleaning up your own house!!!!Typical Cruz hater....this is why it matters!!!

[dragnet2]

Why would it matter where I from or where I am presently or where I might be tomorrow? What does the venue of where a poster might be is so important to you?

Btw, it was a comment. I said Cruz would never be president. Why would you consider that bitching? Should posters get your approval prior to commenting?

[Jarhead9297]

Pray tell what exactly is a “Cruzbot?” To me it sounds like an infantile name used by those that belong as members of DU and certainly not conservatives by a long shot. These prepubescent name calling games attacking other conservatives has got to stop. It’s annoying and certainly doesn’t win anyone over.

[Jarhead9297]

If being a “Cruz not” means I support one of the few Conservatives in the Senate then yes name call away. Your feeble attempts to stir hatred with the name calling then goading people is extremely childish and shows your intellect or lack thereof. I support our President too! Does that make me a Truzbot!?

The only folks around here continually bringing up primaries 2 years past are the same Hillary supporters still crying over an election lost. Then when someone defends the Conservative Senator out come the juvenile names in an attempt to discredit the Senator and the supporting members of FR. Lastly to feign ignorance they then attempt to turn it back on the supporter and from afar continue to snipe. I hate passive aggressive people with a passion. In the Marines we’d visit them late at night for a nice little blanket party. Seeing that I cannot do that here I’ll opt just to ignore your childish rants.

[treetopsandroofs]

Ah, the feigned innocent questioning and condescending horseclinton reminiscent of 2016.

Also interesting is that among MANY here sharing the same POV, I begin to get targeted after noticing the leftist bullying — again.

Do Cruz and BJ’s wife really believe they can split enough Trump supporters to finally take America?

Anyway, the “Bikers got what they deserved at Waco” fascists will be on board.

God Bless America and all for which we stand, and save us from our domestic enemies, out and about, and here.

[TheConservativeTejano]

Just like the repeal of commie care they put forth what won’t pass. The time to put this forward was trumps first day in office. Repubs blew their chance as usual.

Partner, The Rinos in the House and maybe in the Senate right now would never pass a bill so the Rinos in the Senate and House blew the chance of getting our Southern Border Wall built that we need so badly in our country especially Border States.

Do you know that there are more Spanish speaking kids in our schools right now in Texas and the percentage is 52% right now? We need a Southern Border Wall so we need to fund the building of the Border Wall since we have been waitng since 1986 and this year was the last time that we had amnesty passed.

It is and always will be the Rinos so we must not elect Rinos forever more in the House of Senate.

[Jarhead9297]

The very first comment you make on this thread was targeting someone with “Sorry, Cruzbots. Same ol’ Rafael Edward.”

You then end all of this with

“I begin to get targeted after noticing the leftist bullying — again.”

You play the passive aggressive @iatch so well. I hate passive aggressive with a passion. Either be passive or be aggressive, not both. Save us from our enemies? Get out with that claptrap nonsense. May I ask what you were doing to save us from our enemies when I was at Parris Island at the age of 17 in 92? Give up the keyboard warrior schtick entirely. When you open with “Cruzbots” expect to get it back and with fierce opposition.

[treetopsandroofs]

LMFAO @ the Cruzbot tag-teamers!

Interesting how they take it personally and feel compelled to respond to me and defend even the slightest perceived slight on each other, and like 2016, make it personally about me, rather than the other posters who agree with me.

Yep, Cruz and BJ’s wife appear to be IN for 2020.

Thanks (AGAIN in 2018) for all the personal attention!

Please DO keep ‘em coming!!!

[Jarhead9297]

Direct it at me passive aggressive coward. You’re fooling no one with your schtick. I direct it at all posters that utilize the infantile language “Cruzbot” to demean anyone who supports our conservative Senator. So I’ve yet to have you answer my questions. Does supporting Cruz and Trump make me a Truzbot? Also awaiting a response to your glorious rant about defending the Republic and what those actions were while I was really defending it at 17 from the swamps of Parris Island. Your rants remind me of my 16 and 13 yo daughters. Here I’ll help you with their language LMFAO, LOL, Keep em coming, and in your infinite passive aggressive ways you direct it to all and play the victim card “make it personally about me”.
