Thanks for posting this. I'm that very few of us knew about this!

The Wall is different than the 25 Billion Dollars in Border Security. The complete Wall will be built with the Shutdown money plus funds already in hand. The reporting has been inaccurate on the point. The problem is, without the Wall, much of the rest of Dollars are wasted!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 24, 2018

“Agree. Let the shutdown run. Let the rats explain why. No lose situation for either DJT or our country.

Oh, and then release all the documents that prove Obama/Hillary and Frau Comey’s and Frau Mueller’s criminality.

Where there is a will, there is a wall! Trump will find the way.

***Trump can have all the money in the world but he cannot spend a dime of it with authorization from Congress.***

Is that a thypo?

Did you mean WITHOUT?

The President is responsibility for national security

National security is being overrun with lawbreakers criminals et al coming into our country illegally and causing massive security issues.

Just the fact that over 85% of dangerous drugs (heroin, opioids and fentanyl) come across our southern border is a security issue because drug cartels are involved.

And the massive influx of people from many countries are guided through Mexico by coyotes who must pay off the drug cartels for safe passage through Mexico and across the border.

we will not be spending billions there [Syria] next year ...

billions of already allocated defense dollars that can now be used to defend our border.

Makes sense.

The President is responsible for Nat'l Security.

Of course, that should have read “without.”
