Bart JansenWASHINGTON – President Donald Trump proposed to spend about $2 billion to build about 82 miles of additional wall along the southern border, the latest contribution to a 1,000-mile project approved during his first term in office, under the budget blueprint released Monday.
But congressional Democrats criticized the spending priority, creating doubts about whether the funding would be approved as part of spending bills later this year. President Donald Trump talks with reporters as he tours a section of the southern border wall, Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2019, in Otay Mesa, Calif.Extending and enhancing the border wall has been one of Trump’s top priorities – and a leading bone of contention with Congress – since he took office. The $2 billion proposal is more than Congress agreed to provide this year, but less than the $5 billion for wall construction that Trump proposed last year.
Chad Wolf, the acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees wall construction, announced Jan. 10 the completion of 100 miles of border wall since Trump took office in January 2017.
People climb Walls!
That is the money grab.
Really ridiculous price for 82 miles
FRAUD, WASTE, and ABUSE!!!
What little wall he put up can't even stand up to wind. Shoddy and shitty construction. Typical trump.
So what kick backs does Trump get and who is getting the contracts at astronomical rates and costs to taxpayers? The stench of corruption is in the air. Taxpayers need not to trust, and we do need to verify. After all it is your dollars paying for it.
Dems in House should blow this budget to smithereens. No compromises with Trump and the GOP Shut it down now.
Election2020
I'm so glad Mexico is paying. I mean we need our money for war, right?
After he finish the building of wall, he will be out😂

Trump budget: US deficit would continue past 2nd term - Business InsiderTrump promised to eliminate the deficit within 8 years. It would take until 2035 under his new budget proposal. Yes, but he said his promise wouldn’t start until 2027! Mexico will pay for the budget deficit This could be a stroke of genius. Maybe an 80/20 taxes/spending cuts with Dems, with the taxes coming from a surcharge on the gillionaires?
