Five billion in a budget of 37 trillion is .0135 percent — really? A rounding error in the budget.
It’s been widely reported that 86 percent of government spending is on autopilot — no legislation needed for the money to flow.
Make the senators go on record, not a voice vote — then let’s mount a phone campaign to call them out, one by one! If they have a down hall meeting, flood it with protests in person, let them know how we feel about border security!
3.7 trillion

Don’t think so....
Unless you forgot the decimal point between the 3 and 7
