Trump’s Border Wall Gets Billions in Budget Proposal
WASHINGTON — To secure the southern border — his top campaign promise — President Trump next year is seeking to hire 100 new government lawyers, add 1,500 law enforcement officials and spend more than $1 billion on detention and deportation, according to the White House budget plan released on Thursday.
The proposal, which includes a $2 billion down payment on Mr. Trump’s signature border wall, is one of the single largest investments in the president’s budget plan. Yet experts say it appears only to scratch the surface of what Mr. Trump has pledged, and highlights the difficulty of translating campaign promises into a workable, governing reality.
“It’s easy to promise things until you have to pay for them,” said Theresa Cardinal Brown, the director of immigration policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center and a former senior official at the Department of Homeland Security. “It is certainly an attempt to begin to carry out what he promised.”
Mr. Trump is proposing to pay for his border security plan by marshaling savings from across the federal government. To what extent it is ultimately funded will depend in large part on Congress, which makes spending decisions based on the president’s proposals.
Another failure that the rubes will make excuses for and gulp down like so much piss
The 23 billion ESTIMATED cost for the wall is just for materials only, and does NOT include labor.
And after watching this video, I don't think many in this country would approve of another worthless wall.
WATCH THE ENTIRE VIDEO:
You also thought Hillary would be president - zero credibility
Without the help of Vladimir Putin and FBI Director James Comey she would be POTUS today.
No...putin paid her 145 million dollars and she still lost......and Comey kept saying she didn't do anything wrong...and she still lost....
