If the DoD or DHS have been allotted "discretionary money"...don't touch it...it's needed for too many things with both departments right now.

This makes no sense.

DOD and DHS first priority is defense of the nation. We are being invaded by masses of illegal aliens who seek to drain the nation's resources, take jobs citizens should be doing, and transform the country into a socialist country. If this isn't a war they should be fighting then nothing is, this is an existential  threat to the nation.

ABSOLUTELY!! 100% correct!

QFT.

Sadly there are people that think it's a swell idea to take discretionary funds away from both departments to provide money for the wall that the Dems are refusing to give.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

For what it's worth, HERE'S an opinion piece from CNN that takes the position that the Dems gave up too much to Trump and legitimized his arguments that there's a crisis at the border requiring greater border security.   

Indeed, the expression "in for a penny, in for a pound" would seem to apply.   If the Dems are OK with 55 miles of border wall,  then what's their "principled" objection to more?

I knew you would come around eventually!

And that has absolutely nothing to do with putting necessary barriers in place on the border.


Sure it does, because it relies on purview. Border enforcement falls under DHS, so military funds should not be used for their purposes. That’s exactly the point Thornberry was making.

He's exactly right!

Look at what happened to our readiness and ability to deploy while Obama was raiding the DoD budget to fund welfare and Obamacare.

We'r just now in the early stages of recovering from that...we don't need Republicans using us in the same manner the Dems did.


If we ever find out the entire story behind the Mattis resignation, I’d bet potential use of military funds for the wall had some part in it.

I wouldn't bet against that.
