Homeland Security Budget for 2019 Does Not Include Border Wall Funding

American lives mean nothing to these B@$$-Turds!

In what can only be described as a betrayal of the American people, the Republican-controlled House Appropriations Subcommittee passed a Department of Homeland Security budget for 2019 that will not include funding for a border wall.

“As congressional disapproval climbs north of 90%, House members have again openly refused to provide the necessary funding even to scratch the surface of President Trump’s request to fund the wall,” wrote Tim Lyng in American Thinker.

Lyng is the President of the Remembrance Project, which provides support for families with children who were killed by illegal immigrants.

“In a public display of political grandstanding, remarkable only in its dishonesty, DHS subcommittee chair GOP Rep. Kevin Yoder touted this bill as taking ‘the largest steps in years toward finally fulfilling our promise to the American people to secure the border.  We add funding for more than 200 miles of physical barrier[.]'”

From my understanding the current budget specifically included $$ to repair existing fence and no $$ was allocated for new fence or new fencing in the future.

What about HS's discretionary budget?  Why not use if for the wall?  What about Cruz's idea of getting $$ from El Chapo?  What about the billions that we send to other countries?  It seems to me that there is lots of $$ going to less important and frivolous projects that could be redirect and used to build a wall.
