Trump Border Wall Request Only Equals 0.035% Of Federal Spending And Guess Who Still Wants Congress To Postpone Border Wall Funding

CNS News reports:
President Donald Trump’s request that Congress include $1.4 billion to fund the beginning of his proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border equals approximately 0.035 percent of what the federal government will spend in total this year, according to the latest estimate of fiscal year 2017 federal spending made by the Congressional Budget Office.
It also equals less than the Department of Health and Human Services spends in just twelve hours and less than the Treasury collects in taxes in four hours.
That is assuming that HHS spends money 24 hours a day and the Treasury collects it 24 hours a day.

 
Just build it…..and ask for the money latter. That’s how Barry did business not too long ago.

Stewart Varney: There is a report this morning that Speaker Paul Ryan is suggesting that Congress delay border wall funding until next year. What do you say about that?
Brandon Judd: I disagree. President Trump promised he was going to secure the border and part of securing the border is putting in place the proper technology and resources that allows us to be successful. And a border wall in strategic locations is one of those things that must get done.

  1. Americans, YOU, are paying to build a 25 foot tall WALL all around Israel ……. but if You ask for a wall to protect your Families from ILLEGALS you are told you are a RACIST BIGOT By GUESS WHO —– Jewish directed LIBERALS like Fraken, Schumer, Schiff, Pelosi
    How many Americas “GAVE ALL” defending the borders of this Nation. By what “right” do these political/priestly COWARDS throw away those sacrifices? How DARE these politicians/priests spit on the sacrifices of so many American Troops. Refujihadis are being brought HERE to live in the home of American Troops that THEY KILLED. Thanks to politicians and the EFFEMINATE “priests” of America.

  2. The proposed wall is not the best way to reduce illegal immigration, drug trafficking or infiltration by Middle Eastern terrorists. Walls can always be breached if people are motivated to do so. What other option is there?
    There are approximately 1,127,000 military personal stationed throughout the U.S. with about 360,000 of them being U.S. Army regular soldiers. For example, Georgia has 47,000, North Carolina has 43,000, etc. They spend their time training, doing physical exercise, going to class and living a reasonably normal life in the U.S. Let’s put them to work guarding the border because that’s their primary function, defending the U.S.A.
    The U.S. Mexican border is approximately 1,951 miles long or about 3,433,760 yards. Put the soldiers on rolling guard duty for three, eight hour shifts. You’d need about 300,000 personnel to do the job. They’d rotate every 30 – 60 days away from their permanent military base and then back to the border again. They’re already paid so no extra money would need to be allocated in the federal budget.
    The U.S. SBDC (Southern Border Defense Command) would be a fluid, rapid response deterrence to attempts at illegal entry into the U.S. It would work and be much better than an ugly and permanent wall that will look like the former Berlin Wall in Germany or the 200 mile Zionist Wall of Apartheid in Palestine.
