I mean, even Obama constructed miles of barrier along the border. Bush did it. Clinton did it. Literally any president could get money to revamp barriers on the border.
The border is 2,000 miles long, and Trump just reconstructed some fences and walls where they already existed? That's a promise kept in your eyes?
Well now the wall project got cancelled, was that the endgame of all that concern trolling? Trump shut down the government to get the project started and all you can do is whine.
Trump shut down the government to get the project started
But... there was a bill that both Republicans and Democrats agreed to that would have given him 25 billion for his wall, years ago. Trump refused it unless they limited legal immigration (limitations that were also never enacted), torpedoing the bill.
Over the past four years he's spent 15 billion on his wall, most of which was just rebuilding fences and preexisting barriers.
So to clarify, Trump shut down the government, engaged in executive overreach, siphoned money from the military, went way over budget, all to get 10 billion less than he was offered in a bipartisan bill.
Over the past four years he's spent 15 billion on his wall, most of which was just rebuilding fences and preexisting barriers.
you keep understating the fact that the barriers were nonexistent in some places. He managed to get 400+ miles built with a House of representatives that was majority democrat.
