Bill passes 61-39 in the senate and gets vetoed? They override it 90-10, and its passed.

you assume that republicans dont want a shut down, and you just might be wrong in this case.

Were you as concerned back in 2006 when congress said that the taxpayer would fund it?

Now he wants "steel slats" - instead of a glass 30 foot tall Solar powered Great Wall.

I have a chain link fence with steel slats in it at my biz. I wouldn't call it a wall and it's not visible from outer space.

Trump promised that tax payers would not have to pay to have the wall built.

It was one of many campaign promises.

People who voted for him may or may not have supported the wall. Many voters don't agree 100 per cent with candidates they vote for. This he was elected to build the wall is a load of crap. That's not why he was elected.

80,000 people in three states where Trump promised to bring back manufacturing jobs helped him to get the electoral college votes he needed. We have absolutely no proof that those and others wanted a wall.

So -- please stop --unless you have a poll that shows that 100% of Trump voters voted for him because of the wall -- you are just making stuff up --lol.

"if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor". And what about the $2500 annual savings on health insurance premiums per family promised? I could go on, but you get the idea....

How about keeping to the topic on this thread, sware?

FHA and VA insure mortgages.

Neither FHA or VA approve or fund mortgages.

The lender is responsible for all due diligence to meet FHA/ VA Requirements.
