No wall. No infrastructure.
Wall = Infrastructure
They want "infrastructure" then they take it all...
Border wall is Infrastructure.
President Trump wants $8.6 billion for wall building next year, plus another $3.6 billion to replenish Military Construction accounts for what he plans to re-program toward wall building this year.
The is THE big chip that Democrats have to offer the President in a budget deal. They might also agree to immigration reform, but rolling the wall money in with a bunch of pork projects in Democrat districts would probably be more politically palatable.
It also might be useful to Dems, to defend them from taking a beating on the open borders issues, it they see that is hurting them with voters.
