Dem lawmaker calls on Democrats to ‘give Trump the money’ for border wall The Hill, Jan 22, 2019, Morgan Gstalter
Rep. Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) called on his Democratic colleagues to give President Trump the funding for his long-desired border wall between the U.S. and Mexico, saying its construction is inevitable.
“Give Trump the money,†Peterson told KFGO’s “News & Views†on Tuesday. “I’d give him the whole thing … and put strings on it so you make sure he puts the wall where it needs to be. Why are we fighting over this? We’re going to build that wall anyway, at some time.â€
The 15-term congressman said top Democrats look at him “cross-eyed†when he makes this suggestion.
The funding could come with stipulations requiring some money go toward Border Patrol and improving security measures at ports of entry, Peterson said.
