Senate Budget Committee Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Friday unveiled a 61-page budget resolution that would lay the groundwork for the Senate to pass a special budget reconciliation bill that would provide $175 billion to secure the southern border and $150 billion to beef up national defense.
“To those who voted for and support real border security and a stronger defense in a troubled world, help is on the way,” Graham said in a statement.
“This budget resolution jumpstarts a process that will give President Trump’s team the money they need to secure the border and deport criminals, and make American strong and more energy independent,” he said.
If the Senate and House adopt the resolution, which Graham plans to mark up Wednesday morning, it would allow Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to bring a reconciliation package to the Senate floor focused on border security, energy reform and defense spending that would be immune from a Democratic filibuster.

Coming from Graham I’m skeptical.
I think all USAID money saved by Elon and his boyz should be put to use securing the American boarders. Both of them.
It probably consists of big defense contracts that Linda gets a kickback on.
Real $$$$ number is four times what they claim they spent on Ukraine.
The black budget and the humanitarian $$$$. We even gave $$$ to countries in the area in the name of Ukraine. Graham should be too ashamed to show his
USAID Face.
“Better not be any pork in that bill Lindsey”
Exactly what I was thinking. The Trump team needs to read that bill line by line.
Primary candidate, Group 1.
Primary candidate, Group 1.
Yet another reconciliation bill.
That needs to include what was approved in previous term and multiplied since they screwed us on that.
Did President Trump ask you to do that Lindsey? Have you met with him to go over those 61 pages? If not, you’re undermining President Trump. I wouldn’t trust this faggot as far as I could throw him, especially when it comes to the final version of this Bill.
The debt is $36T, remember.
How about we set a goal of cutting that to $30T by the end of the Trump term.
Running for election.
This could have been done 25 years ago if Linda and McCain hadn’t blocked it.
Graham is running scared and making nice...
“It probably consists of big defense contracts that Linda gets a kickback on.”
Bet on it... He is still open for business.
Maybe Trump fair weather friend Lindsey can use some of the USAID millions he received for himself to help ‘beef up’ the USA borders. Maybe Mitch and Mitt can chip in a few quid too.
I frankly don’t trust Linda!
While we have only two borders, we have a bunch of illegal boarders put up in hotels.
