Trump to request $8.6B in wall funding
 

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...ional-showdown

President Trump will soon formally seek a total of $8.6 billion in new border wall funding from Congress as part of the White House's upcoming budget proposal for the next fiscal year, three sources close to the budget process tell Fox News, although the aggressive request faces all-but-certain rejection in Congress amid a growing crisis at the southern border.
The budget is also expected to seek money to establish the Space Force as a new branch of the military, and to sharply curb spending on domestic safety-net programs.

According to the sources, Trump will look to secure $5 billion from Congress, plus $3.6 billion from the military construction budget, for the fiscal year 2020. The request is coming on top of the $8.1 billion Trump already has access to, which includes money he's trying to shift from military accounts after declaring a national emergency.
Trump invoked the emergency declaration last month after Congress denied his request for $5.7 billion. Instead, Congress approved nearly $1.4 billion for the border barriers, far less than he wanted.

Hundreds of millions of $$$ in steel...just sitting there in the middle of nowhere...if you want to steal it you are protected by an international border the owners of the wall can not legally cross...

Yeah...thats gonna go well...

I am sure nobody will want the 100s of millions of $$$ in free steel...

If you ever wondered if we need the wall this is all the proof you need. If the number 1 American hater is against it, you bet your ass it's good for the US :thumbsup

Like these 4ft tall Mexicans are going to scale a 3 story wall :1orglaugh

Sure it won't keep them all out but it will keep out enough to make Democrats cry.

how do make money?
easy !!!

1. be someone in the construction biz who knows every big contruction company in the US
2. become the american president and tell idiots that they need a wall
3. get some 30 billion step by step from the taxpayer to build this wall
4. enjoy your comission

It's already gowing... last month he only needed 5 billion and couldn't get it..

And Trump is STILL more popular than Obama was at this same time.

LOL.

You guys are always on the wrong side of history. The majority of Americans want a strong border and to stop illegal immigration. This has been made quite clear in poll after poll after poll after poll during the election and between now and then.

Democratic voter fraud is going to take a huge hit in 2020. :(

Gallup would disagree with you. Their poll shows 60% oppose the wall.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/246455/...rder-wall.aspx

The Hill says 31% think the wall us useless while another 35% want more border security but think there are better ways to doing it than building a wall. Only 35% in their poll think the wall is the best way to go.

No.

Trump's highest approval rating was 45, which was on 1/29/17 - moments after he took office. Obama's highest approval was 69%. If you look at the lows it's the same thing... Obama's low 38%, while Trump's low was 35%.

If you take the average approval rating over their time in office, Trump ranks at the very bottom with 39%. Obama's was 47%.

Then factor in reality... Obama took over during a crisis, the worst recession of our lifetime, people losing their jobs and their houses. Trump took over with a 4% unemployment rate.

Everyone wants border protection. However, the Republican approach is "build a wall, problem solved". That's not the case - it's been proven time and time again that people can get around the walls. At the same time, the vast majority of the problem is at the ports of entry. We cannot be spending tens of billions of dollars to build walls where no one is crossing.

Oh, that picture... Is a fence, not a wall.

so... with your advanced Trump Derangement Syndrome, you guys can't read?

got it.

I didn't use the word wall once and what i said, as I said it, is 100% true.

Face it Rochard, US citizens love Trump even with 95% of the news media pumping out negative fake news :1orglaugh

In their deluded state, they are seeing mobs in the street protesting against everything... because they're so right about everything and the rest of the nation is just so wrong.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

anyway, don't matter... Druummmmmmphs gonna be impeached cause,... Muh Cuhlluzion.

So if Democrats counter Trump's budget with little or no money for the wall but they agree to give money for other border security things, you would be okay with that?

Also, it's a little misleading when you say "border security" and you post a picture of them building a wall.

You mean you typed out a response to what i said, as did Rochard, without even reading what i said? But i "mislead" you by posting an image of something directly related to border security.

Got it.

Actually, I read what you said and I just assumed by increased border security you mean wall because, well, that is what you have been bitching about for months.

You didn't answer the question. If the Democrats offer Trump little or no money for a wall but more money for other border security measures, are you okay with that?

^^ That's what the technology is for. The fence will be wired. Any disturbance and the guys with machine guns (CBP) show up within minutes.


^^ Trump is already a billionaire. He does not care about commissions. I am more worried about the swampy members of Congress who became millionaires, not the super-rich guy who became a politician.

Also, I am not against the wall because it works. The reality of a wall is that it is only as good as your ability to defend it. We currently have somewhere in the area of 2,000 open job requests for more border patrol agents. They can't get enough people to do the job because it is a shitty job. Unless we can also get the people and technology together to constantly patrol the wall people will find out where it isn't patrolled and they will go over, under, or through it.

A lot of people like to site Israel as using a wall effectively. It works for a couple of reasons. It is small compared to what ours will be and it has watch towers and armed soldiers guarding it 24/7.

We would be better off spending our money and time doing two things that will greatly reduce illegal immigration. 1. End birthright citizenship. This will stop illegals from coming here, having babies, then using those babies to get welfare. 2. Go after people who hire illegals. The agriculture, construction, and food prep industries in this country exist on the backs of illegals. Not too long ago there was a raid of a meat packing plant in Ohio and they found more than 170 illegals working there. Illegals made up 70% of their work force at the company. The people who hired all of them should be thrown in jail, but little or nothing will actually happen to them. We need to punish those who hire illegals harshly so they stop.

If we kill the ability to get welfare and we make it much more difficult to get a job, they will stop coming here, no wall needed.

I'm sure you have some kind of proof to back this horseshit up.

By that, you mean if many of the same Democrats who previously approved over $40,000,000,000.00 in funding for upgrading and expanding the current fence, who have since said "not one dime"? Funny how tards are now arguing that the current structure s a "fence"... since that was already something leading Democrats claimed they supported and something they fully approved funding for.

No, I am not ok with that.

No one yet, has made a case that a wall "did nothing" to deter illegals flooding across the border. It's just something that is said over and over and over by people who hate Trump.

I don't think ANY DEVELOPED NATION should have upwards of 30,000,000 illegals within their borders.

I don't think illegals should have any possibility of voting in that nations elections on any level.

I don't think illegals should be able to benefit from tax payers dollars in any way, shape or form

I think Mexico should be punished in every way imaginable manner for their complicity in funneling people to the US border from their southern border.

I think everyone outside the USA, mainly Canadians should shut the fuck up about it or else start chartering planes to import drug dealers, cartel members, sex traffickers, drug traffickers, arms traffickers, gang members, wanted criminals etc etc etc to their countries if they're so "concerned"

Funny how no Democrat wants to stop illegals flooding into the country and does nothing meaningful about it. Let's stop lying to each other about why. Pelosi and crew already removed any doubts from what most already understand... Democrats need the illegals for votes now and in the future.

Remember last time when Republicans wanted to stop the people flooding into the nation first and then start talking about amnesty but Democrats refused... because they wanted amnesty first and then to talk about borders?

Now they're all losing their shit because Trump is saying "fuck you, we're dealing with the border right here, right now". Dems had a lot of chances to be a part of the conversation but instead started saying things like "not one dime" as they refused to talk about it.


So... here we are. Trump is doing EXACTLY what he was elected to do with or without Democrats.

So, to summarize, you think increased border security means a wall.

I didn't say that.... A wall is one component of beefing up the border.

Again, you willfully ignore the fact that this was one thing that Trump was elected to do. He's doing it. End of story.

Any clown should understand that no barrier (most of the border) is not as secure as a 30' tall barrier. Doing more to make the border secure is obviously "more".

You state a lot of problems, but the only solutions to them you seem to put forward are punishing Mexico (which won't work because the only way we can punish them is economically with sanctions. When they are even worse off than they are now what do you think that will do to the influx of people trying to come north?) and the wall.

I would love to hear what else you suggest we should do in conjunction with the wall.

You're very confused Kane.. I am not the one who wakes up every single day freaked out that Trump is going to eat every baby in the nation. I am happy that more is being done right now to secure the border than ever before. I am happy that more people are being caught and turned back. I am happy that they will stop letting "asylum seekers" into the country at all and instead process their claims outside the country as they should... instead of turning them loose in the US to never be heard from again while their "claim" is being processed.

I don't give a shit about Mexico.

Mexico is still the same corrupt shithole they were 20 years ago, 30 years ago, 50 years ago etc.

Many areas of Mexico have no issue arming themselves and standing up to cartels. THey can certainly mobilize to stop corruption if it were important to them to do so and if Mexicans want a better life and are tired of living in a failed narco state, they should march towards Mexico city and fight for their country, not export their problems to ours.

I think businesses should be punished more severely for hiring illegals. That however is also happening right now with raid after raid after raid as the laws are being enforced. The same fucking idiots who argue that Mexicans do jobs that no one wants to do are the same idiots arguing that $15,00 an hour is a human right. So fine...$15.00 an hour minimum wage, get rid of ALL ILLEGALS and we just pay more for goods and services. I am cool with that sa well.

There are more raids happening, that is true, and good. Now let's see if they actually punish those who have hired these people.

I still think eliminating the ability to easily get a job and ending birthright citizenship will do more to stop illegal immigration than a wall. Just my opinion.

Also, if you don't think making Mexico even worse than it is now will not affect illegal immigration, you are being naive. We should be helping countries like Mexico and those in Central America improve. If we can make those places better, fewer people will want to leave.

El Chapo 'paid $100m bribe to former Mexican president Peña Nieto'

Former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto accepted a $100m (£77m) bribe from drug cartel kingpin Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, a witness has testified.


Reason Why Democrats Don’t Want Border Wall? The DNC and Clinton Foundation Both Reportedly Paid Off by Mexican Cartels

MEET HILLARY’S BIG MONEY DONOR WHO MOONLIGHTS AS A LAWYER FOR MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS

---------------------

So the cartels pay off the Mexican president and the top Democrats, who then push the 'No wall' narrative in the media, and you lefties fall for it like suckers. Sorry but the adults are in charge now.

I think all companies and all people hiring illegals should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

I don't think there's any scenario where illegals should have any possibility of participating in elections of any kind.

I think we need absolute border security.

I think Mexico should be cut off and treated like the failed, corrupt narco state that it is and always has been.

I think that Americans can't make Mexico better.

I think that only Mexicans can make Mexico better.

If they want to march in any direction other than Mexico City for change, then its on them to suffer with the government they deserve.

Fair enough.

Doesn't mean he will get it. Pelosi will bitch slap him again

Yes yes mexico is to blame that americans are such drug addicts...bad bad spoon making people fat...once the mexicans march against american drug addiction everything will improve LOL

Meanwhile the non corrupt US gov has institutionalized corruption in washington and you can legally bribe a politican...

Wow ... He finally got Mexico to pay for the wall ....

Congrats :thumbsup:thumbsup

Does that include golf courses ... ?????????

Irrelevant foreigners, with irrelevant opinions and an irrelevant, extremely biased, personal agenda... who like to think their opinions matter.

They don't.

"The lion does not concern itself with the opinions of the sheep"

it is amusing that you fancy yourself as "Relevant" and "lion" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

you are nothing but thugs :2 cents::thumbsup

We all fully understand why the irrelevant mouse would see it that way. We can't fault you for that.

The wall will pay for itself by reducing the huge cost of services to illegal immigrants.

https://i.imgur.com/WCdWcfl.jpg

The anti-wall people are also anti-logic it seems. :1orglaugh

it amuses me that you think anybody gives a shit about this "relevant" crap...you have no idea how stupid you sound :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

When at first you get owned...get owned again. What an idiot.

You know that the USMCA isn't actually active yet, right? Trump knows that but lies to people because, well, that is what he does. The agreement has to be ratified by congress before it goes into effect and that hasn't happened yet. So, as of today zero extra dollars have come in from that thing.

Isn't it time for Trump to just quit the bullshit?

So Trump released his budget.... He wants to cut 10% of everything except for the military. He fucked up with this tax cut which only benefited the very wealthy and screwed everyone else, the U.S. Treasury took in a lot less money, and the expected boon never happened.... The deficit is through the roof (but he'll blame Obama for that of course) and now he has to unfuck things... Even with reducing everything by 10% he won't be able to balance the budget for the next twenty years.

This is what winning looks like.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/11/trum...rgiveness.html

Trump said he'd reduce the budget.

Trump said he'd make healthcare & medication affordable.

Trump said he'd lower the trade deficit with China.

The list goes on.

So many failed campaign promises, but if you can just get that wall!

Trump thinks if he can get something tangible to show them he did, that they don't care about all the rest of the big broken campaign promises.

Huge investment with no productivity

I find it funny (or not) that trumps first 2 years when he had Full Republican control, he could not demand a wall, and suddenly when he looses the house (who controls spending), he has to have it or else ! It's now a emergency where it was not 2 years ago or last year or at least till after the election.

Surely folks have issues that directly effect their lives that take president.
Or is everyone going to let one person dictate what is most important in their life.

Sheep !

That was the plan all along :2 cents:

It's been nothing but a massive fail.

If the economy turns to shit they will just blame it on Democrats.

OP is a faggot :2 cents::2 cents::thumbsup:thumbsup
