To liberals, 5 billion for a wall protecting from an invasion of illegals from the south is a travesty, but 50 billion in pallets of cash to Iran, the worlds leading funder of terrorism, was zero's prerogative.

An actual border wall is orders of magnitudes more expensive than $5 B.....try trillions.
Five billion is only going to cover a fraction of a percent of our Southern border.
I don't know...maybe actual defense of the country instead of some manufactured and exaggerated crisis? This is about Trump delivering on a campaign promise, period.
Manufactured crisis? Are you serious? Even the Democrats finally admitted that there was a crisis at our border with thousands after thousands coming in caravans all at once.
What’s the point, there’s no way can he build a 2,000 miles wall in 4 years. It’s mathematically impossible. Give it up ��
There is no plan to build a wall along our entire border. Where have you been? Trump just wants to fix the flimsy fencing that was built under Obama which was supposed to be for 700 miles of double barriers on the most porous areas of the border and build an additional 300 miles of the good walls. That's only half of the border, duh. The rest is mostly impassable terrain so fewer will try to cross in those areas and fewer will succeed. The Border Patrol can focus their efforts more in those areas.
If this administration wants to build a wall, they should be pushing for wall funds to be included in the budget, not stealing emergency funds for a non-emergency. Regardless of whether you think the wall is a good idea, this sets an awful precedent.
Pushing? The Democrats won't cooperate on anything. Pay attention. Build the wall!
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats are moving on two fronts to block President Donald Trump from using special emergency powers to transfer money from military base construction projects like new schools to pay for new fences along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The ones cheering the hardest now are going to be the ones squealing like stuck pigs when the next Democratic president follows precedents set by Trump. Just watch.
Too bad Dems, it’s getting built regardless of how much you want open borders. Elections have consequences as they say
Remember you said that in January, 2021, m'k...?
