Folks
Republicans on the Homeland Security Committee are wasting their time. Democrats, despite all of the evidence, proof and Caravans coming, are not going to give money to build the DESPERATELY needed WALL. I’ve got you covered. Wall is already being built, I don’t expect much help!

Large sections of WALL have already been built with much more either under construction or ready to go. Renovation of existing WALLS is also a very big part of the plan to finally, after many decades, properly Secure Our Border. The Wall is getting done one way or the other!

If the wall is already being built -- or has already been built -- why did we shut down the government?
Why is he threatening to shut down the government again in three weeks?
Why does he need $5.7 billion for a wall if the wall already exists?
Why is Senator Lindsey Graham recommending that we attach wall funding to the national debt ceiling?
There's virtually no chance the congressional conference committee on homeland security will produce legislation that can pass through both chambers of Congress and satisfy Stephen Miller in the White house. And on February 15th, we're going to find out just how committed Trump is. He's either going to shut down the government again, or he's going to declare an emergency and take his chances in court.
