Sen. Ted Cruz, others announce bill to fund $25 billion border wall
KXAN ^ | 6 Dec 2018 | Tulsi Kamath

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.

“If they can come up with 500 billion for TARP, why is it such a struggle for 25 billion?”

Exactly...A 6 trillion dollar corrupt stasi state and one of their PRIMARY duties is to protect our borders yet they refuse to do it. Let that sink in.

Same old. Same old.

yeah. Just introduce bills we want...WHEN you know they will never get voted on or pass the house.

Sureeee....

Keep us dancing and waiting in baited breath.

Sigh. Nonsense.

Trump is the last stop before armed resurrection. Trust me, you do not want to see things get that ugly.

Will the Senate vote on this first? I would like to see who sides with the American people.

From the constitution: All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills.

That is the reason they are putting it out now. Because they know damn well the house will never do it. It’s all smoke and mirrors and a kabuki dance for the Great unwashed.

Once again, when there’s NO CHANCE this becomes law suddenly Republicans are talking the talk.

Visions of Trump's 2020 third-party run dance in my head.

Lol, the Cruz derangement here is almost as bad as the Trump derangement of the Dems!

Lets just do it with 51 Senate votes during reconciliation over the Christmas holiday - like Obamacare.

I might be mis-remembering civics class, but don't bills that require expenditures have to originate in the House?

Isn't the House pretty easy to get passed if the DACA Deal is under TRUMP's terms?

Sorry, Cruzbots. Same ol’ Rafael Edward.

I guess Senators Murkowski, Collins and Corker are more your cup of tea. Smart.

Soros must have some paid Planned Parenthood buttwipes on this forum who need to be scraped off the bottom of our shoes.

Every time Cruz is mentioned, diarrhea of their mouth breaks forth on this forum.

It’s disgusting. Please go crap in your toilet and not on FR.

If Cruz is the problem, point me to your favorite senator who is doing a better job of addressing the problem.

Otherwise take your Planned Parenthood, baby killing, butt sex loving attacks on conservatives back to the DU where it belongs.

I guess you missed the memo from JimRob on Cruz. I suggest you go find it and read carefully.

What’s “disgusting” is conservatives protecting their favorite pet beltway career politician above all else. Above even a conservative POTUS and the conservative GOP platform we voted for.

Where was Ted Cruz when GOP Senators where directly threatening POTUS if he fired Sessions? AWOL. Etc., Etc.

The fact is we a have a POTUS who has been under treasonous assault continuously for over two years and not a single GOP Senator has risked anything to support him. The fact is Cruz has been no more than a drive by supporter of POTUS. I wish it was different but it is what it is. You would be wise to accept that and not be a tool of the Never Trump GOPe.

I guess you missed Ted Cruz not saying a world when POTUS was threatened by his senate GOP colleagues regarding firing Sessions. Is Mitch McConnell only a liar when Teddy Bear Cruz runs for POTUS? Apparently, yes.

I cant help you’re butt sore over a primary that ended long ago. You sound worse than a Hillary supporter still thinking she was elected. I advise you to read what JRob said about Cruz it may save you a suspension
