President Trump needs to call in the ambassadors from these Central American $h*tholes and tell them to turn off the spigot. Otherwise all foreign aid with be cut off and remittances will be heavily taxed.
Our system of government is incapable of dealing with this anymore. Even President Trump can barely keep his head above water on this issue. We are losing this battle inch by inch every day.
And still there is no wall.
“And still there is no wall.”
A Note on Wall Funding
It could take until October 1, 2031 to build the wall.
It won’t be finished for over nine years simply because of annual funding limitations.
From the “moderate” bill:
“AVAILABILITY OF BORDER WALL SYSTEM FUNDS.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Of the amount appropriated in subsection (a)(1)—
(A) $2,241,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2018;
(B) $1,808,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2019;
(C) $1,715,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2020;
(D) $2,140,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2021;
(E) $1,735,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2022;
(F) $1,746,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2023;
(G) $1,776,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2024;
(H) $1,746,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2025; and
(I) $1,718,000,000 shall become available October 1, 2026.
(2) PERIOD OF AVAILABILITY.—An amount made available under subparagraph (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H), or (I) of paragraph (1) shall remain available for five years after the date specified in that subparagraph.”
By restricting funding, they are making it impossible for Trump to build his wall system during his Presidency.
