    And just like that, GOP discovers $5.7 billion for a wall. $5.7 billion What if we instead added $5.7B in teacher pay? Or replacing water pipes? Or college tuition/prescription refill subsidies? Or green jobs? But notice how no one’s asking the GOP how they’re paying for it.https://twitter.com/axios/status/1075919668181909504 …

        With the other $145 billion a year pissed away annually on illegals we may actually be able to do all of that once the wall is built. #MAGA

        But the cost of the wall will be $8 trillion a year! I mean, since we're making up numbers here.

        In 2017, FAIR's "The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers" report put the total cost of illegal immigration at $135 billion a year” ...and that’s 2017. Google is your friend.

        I'm familiar with the flawed and biased premise that FAIR sought to support. It's a bad report that overestimates the number of immigrants while ignoring positive economic impacts.

        Ms Cortez You're my new favorite Congressperson! I enjoy reading your tweets & seeing your interviews. You are a refreshing voice of reason in an otherwise wildly chaotic & unreasonably closed minded political world. I look forward to your work in the people's house next year.

        But the president just bragged that the border is "tight" already, so why would we need more?

        Hell, we as people that wish to protect our country will help pay for it. Keep the illegals out. As long as they apply for citizenship or asylum i have no issue.

        And just like that, Dems discover $150 billion, cash, to hand deliver to the Iranians, hiding it from the American people, with no Congressioal action. No problem. Right? $150 billion

        We didn’t have to find it; it was THEIR money, deposited in our banks years ago, you ignorant head-ass. Also, WTF does that issue have to do with this? Nothing. Go play in traffic or watch more daytime TV, troll.

        So, frozen assets are flown, in secret, when returned now. OK. How about "U.S. Taxpayers Billed $115M to Study Quails on Cocaine, Donkey Hunting". How about (who really knows the true amount) $25 billion/month spent on illegals. Don't cry about $5 billion spent to fix a problem.

        Why is 45 so fixated on $5 billion? Follow the money. Who is slated to get those contracts if he gets the budget? Nearly everything with him is about greed.
