"The agreement reached tonight would include:
-$1.375b for border barriers (55 new miles of bollard fencing) -Dems drop call for new cap on ICE beds for detentions in interior -Overall cap on detention beds drops from 49,057 to 40,520
Per congressional official."
shall we nickname them the cartel congress
I'm not sure that's right.
That was the number in Trump's 2019 budget but since we're still operating DHS at 2018 levels under a CR I don't think the additional beds ever got funded.
If this is true ... Trump will sign it. I expected $0 and now there is $1.3B less money Trump has to scrounge around looking for. That means the military or whatever only has to come up with $4B or so. The glass is half full. Don’t rule Trump or the wall out just yet.
Do these scumbag Congressvermin have ANY sense of honor or duty AT ALL?
Trump IS the third Party.
I believe there IS an approved limit of 40,000 beds.
BS
Yep...his name is Will Hurd.
I don’t think so. If anything it was probably hurting them to be so rigidly against it. A few miles won’t make much of a difference.
I dunno. Didn’t Nancy say “Not $1 for the wall?”
Exactly.....Beats the Pelosi/Schumer mantra....Not $1 for a wall.
He lets the cheap labor express open the flood gates of catch and release and put into law the inability to build more ICE beds forever .
We will be over run worse than now .
This left wing groups will bus in thousands now nowing we can nit build any more beds.
We the people got screwed here worse than before the shut down.
Their narrative includes the story of how Trump put brown babies in cages. Take away the cages and the babies go free.
Says it all.
“This is the worst deal I have ever seen . “
If Trump signs it he will not be reelected in 2020.
You can take that to the bank.
Shelby is 85 years old..and he made this call???
wake up ALABAMA...GET THAT OLD MAN OUT OF OFFICE, HIS BRAIN IS FRIED AND HE LIVES IN A CHILDISH WORLD..
AGE MATTERS...TERM LIMITS...
I'm a senior citizen...and age takes it course on all of us, and Shelby is just too damn old to be making these decisions...sick and tired of this bull shit...enough..
Such BS....what do you recommend?
We are way worse off than before the shut down .
We got rolled by the Dems
Exactly—f#*k these a-hole republicans.
I’m so sick of these traitors.
Declare a National Emergency!! This is NO DEAL!
