"The Southwest Border still lacks a permanent wall and persistent domain awareness in vulnerable areas. The FY 2020 Budget requests $8.6 billion in DHS and DOD funding for the construction of approximately 300 miles of new border wall system," according to McAleenan's prepared remarks at a House Appropriations Committee hearing Tuesday. The ask would be, by far, the largest amount of money Congress has given DHS for physical improvements at the U.S.-Mexico border. In the previous three years of appropriations, Congress has given DHS a total of $3 billion. In 2017, lawmakers gave the department $341 million for 40 miles of barrier construction. That number jumped in 2018 and 2019 to $1.375 billion each year.

Guest Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I see no problem with this. Politicians waste money on a lot of unnecessary stuff, while this seems quite necessary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this as a campaign tool because the Democrats need to be pinned down on this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
