The bill to fund the wall for 5.7 billion that passed in the house last month is sitting in the senate waiting to be voted on. If Mitch would allow a simple 50 majority rather then a 2/3 vote on it, President Trump would have it right now. Mitch is as bad as pillalaski and shoemuller.

No. That bill died with the last Con-gre$$. The current Con-gre$$ would have to at least pass it again. They (Pelosi) will not do so or pass anything with wall funding. That's why we are where we are. Point the finger at Mitch for not even attempting to deal with this before the last session expired. He may not have the votes even if he dropped the rule to 51.

No.
That is not true.
Bills do not carry over from one session to the next.
