WASHINGTON, D.C. – A Democratic legislator from Texas has introduced a bill prohibiting taxpayer funds from being used to build a wall between Mexico and the United States.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D) of Texas introduced the “Protect American Taxpayers and Secure Border Act” days ago that would require the “Government of Mexico” to pay for “any wall or barrier” built between Mexico and the United States.
Additionally, the bill calls for the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take such actions as may be necessary to secure the southern border by making maximum effective utilization of technology and improved training of U.S. Custom and Border Protection agents and officers. Jackson’s bill call for an increase In Immigration Judges, too. The Attorney General may appoint 100 additional immigration judges in addition to immigration judges currently serving as of the date of the enactment of this Act. Lastly, the bill calls for humanitarian assistance. The Secretary of Homeland Security shall take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that humanitarian assistance is provided to immigrants, refugees, and other displaced persons who are in need of medical assistance and aid to sustain health and life, the bill says.
The bill is now in committee and would face hearings.
President Donald Trump and Congress are involved in a federal government shut down currently, with each side blaming the other politically over wall funding, for the shut down.
For those that naively ask why didn’t the Republicans get approval to build the Wall over the last year, it is because IN THE SENATE WE NEED 10 DEMOCRAT VOTES, and they will gives us “NONE” for Border Security! Now we have to do it the hard way, with a Shutdown. Too bad! @FoxNews

The President wanted the shutdown, but he seems not to know how to get himself out of it. As long as the President is guided by the House Freedom Caucus, it’s hard to see how he can come up with a solution that can pass both the House and Senate and end his #TrumpShutdown.

This is the picture 5 years later of that stupid socialist cortez – SAVIOR OF THE DEMORAT PARTY OF THIEVES.
The orange guy said Mexico was paying for the wall. He wouldn’t lie ,would he?
He he, shrewd woman. A law sounding like it is about the enforcement of sovereign integrity while sticking the bill to Mexico, like the president promised to do, yet is designed to make sure the wall does not get built. Trump will have one hell of a time explaining why he’ll veto it should it make it that far.
Another waste of taxpayer money. When are the Democrats going to start working for the American people?
Is it even POSSIBLE for this wonderful prez ( sarcasm)to tell the TRUTH? About ANYTHING? Everything about him is phony! Like Judy Judy says: ” if his lips are moving…he’s lieing!”
I believe he promised to “Bomb the shit outta them” whe asked about ISIS..What part of that do you take exception to?
You see..what you really don’t like is for THE MAN to tell you the plain, unvarnished truth.
Show your tax returns Donnie! Whatcha got to hide? Be a REAL MAN! Simply amazing all the excuses you’ve used!
No one gives a shit about his tax returns. Why don’t you publish yours?

Hmmm! I wonder??????
Will it come as a shock for you to learn that billionaires have way-better tax lawyers than you do? They also get a LOT more pu$$y than you do. What channel are you on, anyway? Wake up, for chrissakes.
Now..that there’s funny! Here’s your sign dumbf@#k! I’M WITH STUPID! >
I never thought the democrats would fall that far off their rockers.
Whatever happened to the fiscal responsibility of JFK and at least talking like securing our nation was important. It’s embaeassing knowing that I grew up in a Democrat household.
Pretty sure you’re a bigger embarrassment to them Einstein. Did you get past 2nd grade?
More po po from the socialist demcraps – saying they want Mexico to pay for wall – while their real purpose is to restrict private donations to help built the wall – come on commie – you must think your the only sharp tack in the box of deceit (rocks). Go blow your nose elsewhere ! PHONY !
