Now that last qualifier is irrelevant. They just to make it look like Trump didn't get what he asked for. New money, old money. It's money and he is going to spend it on the wall. That's enough to keep them busy until September.

LOL...

That wall is going to cost a good $20B+

Great job coming up with 5% of it...but not even because it probably won't go toward actually building any of it.

The problem with your "alternative facts" is that at some point reality butts in.

Nope...still no wall

Interesting.

I had once seen ICE numbers that I accepted on face value, but apparently, the way deportations are counted was changed.

Snopes, who leans left, even says that the way deportations were counted was changed giving a higher number than before:

Were More People Deported Under the Obama Administration Than Any Other?

Turn out the lights, the party's over when you're down to parsing numbers.

OP - Looks like you have a wall built around your house that makes even Fox news impenetrable!!

All news sources including Fox and other sources reported that Trump was denied his southern wall money but here is OP looking at things in a way that makes Trump winner yet again

Additionally, from your own link, Democrats only proposed the $1.5B to save face and to avoid a standoff.

Besides, wasn't Mexico going to fund the wall? Because that right there is money taken from you and me.

mexico will pay, once we threaten to bomb them.
