Budget Bill will replace 40 mile chain-link fence with a 20-foot steel wall, at a cost of $8.5 million per mile.

The White House insisted Tuesday that the $1 trillion spending bill includes money for 40 miles of border fencing, as President Trump sought to shore up Republican voters by saying the deal also lays the groundwork for rebuilding the military.

The president said there is “enough money to make a down payment on the border wall,” and said a $15 billion boost in defense spending — without having a dollar-for-dollar match in domestic spending — has set a new standard that will benefit Republicans and the Pentagon.

    Mr. President, time to consider using El Chapo's drug money to begin to pay for building this wall. But start with making it illegal for the American employer to hire illegal alien labor in the 1st place. It isn't like this is the only place they can move to.

      Fully agree, but the drugs will keep coming unless they are legalized.

      Exactly! Why doesn't this administration go after the ENORMOUS elephant in the room, the illegal alien EMPLOYERS?! Why is the I-9 employment verification form not being enforced? Is Donald Trump lying to us?

    Strange how Obama always got his way. Most of the time he
    didn't even go thru Congress. Trump ought to bypass Congress
    just like Obama did. We the People expected Congress to challenge Obama on his anti-American and discrimitory actions
    ;but, they never did. Cowards are conspiring?

    Ann Coulter's view. This is really pathetic. Seems all
    hopes dashed:

    That damn Paul Ryan should have been one of the first to go,
    somehow. I don't know if Trump was really a con job or not.
