Lawmakers in Alabama are pushing to give taxpayers the option to donate a portion or all of their state income tax return to the president's cause.

As President Donald Trump struggles to get the necessary funding to build a border wall along the southern border of the United States, legislators in Alabama are working to give taxpayers the option to donate to the president’s cause.

President Donald Trump smiles during his meeting with then-Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev in the Oval Office, at the White House, on January 16, 2018. On Tuesday, a Senate committee in Alabama voted in favor of a bill that would add nonprofit We Build the Wall Inc. to a list of organizations taxpayers could donate their tax refund to.

State Senator Shay Shelnutt explained to Times Daily that he supported the bill because his constituents support the border wall and State Senator Garlan Gudger said the bill gives taxpayers the freedom to choose which organization they want to donate to.

46th in education, 48th in poverty rate ... Roll Tide

Lmmfao and rotmff good old bama😩

As if Alabama has money! What’s the minimum wage?

FOOOOOOOOOOOOOLS

A fool and his money...

The phrase FoolsErrand comes to mind.

Taxpayers there would support a bill to make lynching a religious event

I guess when Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall, he really meant Alabama.

They have bought and drank the snake oil that con artist trump is peddling. The majority of the public are NOT in favor of the wall. They feel that it is a waste of money.

The South will rise again.

Great idea! How else can they move from 49th in eduction to dead last if they don’t divert some tax dollars to build the wall?

Well that’s a no brainer. If we want to privately pay to defend our borders why would Democrats complain? Do we have to spend our own money in a way they see fit?

Yes, I'm for that, let 'Alabama' pay for all of the Wall, 'idiots'?

Donald Trump Jr. says 'Red Pill' groups allow Conservatives to 'express themselves'Donald Trump Jr. penned an op-ed for The Hill Sunday evening complaining that 'Big Tech' companies are 'censoring' conservatives, claiming algorithms penalized the right-wing terms 'SJW' and 'Red Pill' among others. Safe spaces? Let them express themselves all they want. It makes the jobs of criminal investigators much easier, in the long run. Him using the term 'red pill' perfectly expresses how fringe-right he is. It's a favorite phrase of the alt-right extremists and PizzaGate conspiracy theorists, so he's pretty much telling us he's also insane.
