So, Did Paul Ryan Screw Us Out Of A Border Wall When He Became A Lame Duck?

The fight over President Trump’s border wall will probably lead to another shutdown by February 15th. It’s also very possibly Trump whips out the national emergency card to get it done while risking Democrats going apoplectic over this move. Whatever the case, House Democrats aren’t playing ball. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said repeatedly that not one penny will go to a border wall. This is a critical campaign promise. Trump’s 2016 campaign was grounded in building a border wall. Walls work. The Border Patrol knows they work. In fact, those who have been dealing with immigration enforcement know there’s been a border crisis for years, despite most liberal media outlets saying otherwise. The Washington Post’s coverage of Virginia Democrats pushing a bill that would virtually legalize infanticide has been trash, but they did report that Trump was right a crisis developing at the border. The New York Times also reported on it. The government was shut down for over 30 days over this issue before Trump caved and re-opened the government. Now, we’re back to where we were prior to Christmas over the funding, a mere $5.7 billion for just part of the barrier.

    There is no question barriers work to decrease illegal traffic.

Some are wondering why didn’t we appropriate the money for the wall when the GOP controlled government. The Daily Caller’s Saagar Enjeti and Vince Coglianese sat down with President Trump for an interview, where the wall funding was brought up. President Trump said then-Speaker Paul Ryan promised to get him the wall funding but didn’t. It was when the president signed the $1.3 trillion omnibus last March. Trump wanted to veto it but decided to sign it because of the increased military funding and because Ryan told him, “we’ll get you the wall” (via Daily Caller) [emphasis mine]:

Last three GOP Speakers:

--Dennis Hastert, pervert

--John Boner, Marijuana promoter

--Paul Ryan, betrayed his party's voters, his President. Will become very wealthy, lobbying for cheap labor.

No.  Ryan screwed us out of the wall ever since he got to be Speaker.

Don't forget Newtie.  He gave up on the Contract With America less than a year after he became speaker.
