Američki Zastupnički dom odobrio je 5,7 milijardi dolara za predloženi granični zid predsjednika Trumpa u četvrtak navečer, nakon što je Trump rekao da neće potpisati kratkoročni nastavak financiranja vlade kojeg je odobrio Senat jer on nije uključivao sredstva za zid.
“Dom odobrava 5,7 milijardi dolara za granični zid predsjednika Trumpa, čime je poslao prijedlog natrag u Senat podižući rizik djelomičnog zatvaranja vlade”, tweetao je Associated Press.

Financiranje zida prošlo je glasanjem 217-185 duž stranačkih linija i sad prebacuje odgovornost glasanja Senatu.
The Democrats, who know Steel Slats (Wall) are necessary for Border Security, are putting politics over Country. What they are just beginning to realize is that I will not sign any of their legislation, including infrastructure, unless it has perfect Border Security. U.S.A. WINS!

With so much talk about the Wall, people are losing sight of the great job being done on our Southern Border by Border Patrol, ICE and our great Military. Remember the Caravans? Well, they didn’t get through and none are forming or on their way. Border is tight. Fake News silent!

When I begrudgingly signed the Omnibus Bill, I was promised the Wall and Border Security by leadership. Would be done by end of year (NOW). It didn’t happen! We foolishly fight for Border Security for other countries – but not for our beloved U.S.A. Not good!

Republicans in Congress have continually told the American people that we would fight for wall funding, and today the House of Representatives took its first step toward fulfilling that promise. The Senate must follow our lead.

It’s time we do what we said and work with President Trump and the American people to secure our borders.
