Takes a few minutes to read. What I find interesting is the position of the Democrats just a few years ago to their position today.

The GOP seems to forget they had control of the purse strings for two years and yet failed to fund the wall, fence, ditch, wire, stakes, themselves. Now they are complaining about the Dems changing streams, but have no one to blame but themselves.

So he himself has done nothing but whine!!

How much has been spent so far on Trump's border wall?

With a possible shutdown looming on Dec. 7, Democratic and Republican lawmakers are battling over what should go into a bill to keep the government lights on. The key obstacle to a bipartisan agreement is how much should be spent on President Donald Trump’s border wall. Trump is pushing hard for $5 billion in wall funding.

Trump's wall would add to billions the U.S. spends on border security

American taxpayers have already spent billions of dollars on border security, including a 700-mile long physical barrier along the southern border.

MCPO Roger Collins - Ok so we spend billions on border security - not sure what your point is. Point is, walls work (albeit it is a tactical solution, not a strategic one).

You totally missed my point. I was refuting statements made by the OP. My posts up to this point align with your position.
