Trump to Seek Another $8.6 billion for Border Wall

Washington (AFP) – US President Donald Trump will seek $8.6 billion in fresh funding for a wall on the US-Mexico border in the 2020 budget request, likely triggering another fight with Congress, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Sunday.

The request, which is to be unveiled Monday, would far exceed the $5.7 billion Trump demanded last year, which led to an impasse that resulted in a 35-day partial shutdown of the US government, the longest ever.

Democratic congressional leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer decried the move, warning Trump that another legislative defeat would await him.

Kudlow, interviewed on “Fox News Sunday,” conceded that the new request would likely mean a renewed fight in Congress over wall funding.

“I suppose there will be,” he said.

But he said Trump “is going to stay with his wall. He is going to stay with his border security. I think it’s essential.”

– ‘Expensive and ineffective’ –

In a joint statement, Pelosi and Schumer charged that Trump “hurt millions of Americans and caused widespread chaos when he recklessly shut down the government to try to get his expensive and ineffective wall.”

“Congress refused to fund his wall and he was forced to admit defeat and reopen the government. The same thing will repeat itself if he tries this again. We hope he learned his lesson,” they said.

The Washington Post reported that the president’s request for wall funding will come in the form of $5 billion from the Department of Homeland Security and another $3.6 billion from the Pentagon.

That will be on top of the $6.7 billion in wall funding that Trump has ordered redirected from other government programs under a national emergency he declared last month.

He declared the emergency after the Congress approved only $1.375 billion for construction of 55 miles (90 kilometers) of barriers along the border in Texas.

On a separate issue, Kudlow expressed optimism that US economic growth will surpass three percent “in 2019 and beyond,” adding that the 2020 budget anticipates a five percent reduction in government spending.

The wall for me his always been partly symbolic. Just the physical will of the people who really agree with securing our borders but What really needs to change are laws...

Let's ask Congress?
oh
'walls for me, but not for thee'

Now, while I support a wall and feel that we need it. This is where shit gets tricky.

Who's building it. It needs to be American steel, from a company that has nothing to do with Diamond Donny, or you will never hear the end of it
 
I simply cannot fathom how the fuck 55mi of wall costs 1.3 billion dollars

actually it is government contract so yes I can, but srsly that is over 13.5K per yard WTF?

Environmental costs (permits), buying land from owners (possibly), etc. I would imagine it's money for the wall, but isn't JUST for the wall, but other tech/enforcement around it.

But yes, gov contracts are bullshit.
 
Plus you have to look at the wall. Its not just a cinderblock wall. Its (at least what I've seen), steel "slat", about 20' tall. Buried 8' deep. On some versions i've seen what appears to be a a solid top 6 or 7 feet, some its slat all the way up with spikes at the top, then like val said, add in permits, property and labor...4k a foot or so isn't that outrageous i guess
