Yes, he supported something that was authorized by even the previous administration, the Secure Fence act of 2006, under BUSH..
It wasnt Trump who ignored the wall was aready under construction, its always been a funding issue.. all he had to do was promise to FUND it while Democrats who voted for the bill, shouted RACIST... therefore calling Democrats dumb for not knowing a fence was already being built with their support.
Trump did ignore the fence they are building under the 2006 act, because he said we need a wall from sea to shining sea and anytime anyone disputes him it gets taller and that Mexico will pay for it.
Well Mexico is not paying for it and any tax on Mexican goods make consumers of those goods pay for it, a far cry from Mexico paying for it. The funds from that 2006 act are mostly spent and they are not working on it, they are working on prototypes.
Since Congress has not passed a budget or bill authorizing any spending beyond the 2006 act, no they are not working on it. And again, that is not Mexico paying for it.
Typical idiotic whining from the Left. They were against the wall but are now bashing him because there’s no wall yet.
Border wall is a monumental project. It doesn’t get built in months. It will take years and even decades.
But Trump himself, will come down in just a few months, at most. The desperate Republicans, who want to get re-elected to congress, will marginalize him after the campaign starts in January.
The wall is estimated to cost $25 billion not $200 billion. Spin much? No, most illegals do not come by planes on tourist visas the majority are border jumpers. The good walls already in place have been very effective in deterring illegal aliens. No such thing as an undocumented immigrant either.
So Trump promised his voters something started by previous administrations
Typical Trump, taking credit for other people's work, and typical Trumpkins, falling for his BS
I don't know what the hell a Trumpkin is but how is Trump taking credit for other people's work? If he gets the wall built that isn't other people's work it will be of his own doing since the prior administrations only voted for it but never funded it nor built it.
