The wall is necessary to secure the border. That comes directly from the Commander of the Border Patrol agency tasked with protecting it. Trump is asking for $5 billion. But let's assume it will actually cost $25 billion. With a $4 trillion budget, that amounts to .625% of the US Budget.
Let's be very clear here; Schumer and the idiot Pelosi are playing partisan politics when they declare Trump cannot have the money.
No one cares about who is going to pay for the wall; it's .625% of the budget. If Trump places excise taxes on imported goods to help pay for it, good for him.
Attempting to argue that the Democrats don't want to budget the wall because Trump made a campaign speech saying Mexico would pay for it is pathetic, stupid and dishonest.
You are being an idiot. Just stop
