The 5.6 Billion asked for is the ANNUAL amount. The ACTUAL amount is $30 Billion, which is only an estimate. But from sections of the border where walls and fences have already been built, we know the estimates are usually of by a factor of 30. Stop lying.

Protecting our borders is NOT a partisan issue. Building a wall IS. Border agents don’t want a wall. Border states don’t want a wall. 70% of Americans don’t want a wall. Walls require monitors stationed on the wall- manpower. Walls require maintenance. Walls are ineffective.

@RepByrne Thanks for your continued support for the protection of the 340B drug discount program and rural healthcare. For this I am grateful. However, this is simply not true, and disappoints me to see this political posturing.

Tired of ppl conflating building a wall with border security. You can implement security meadows without a wall.

many SENSIBLE R's and D's Love this country and want border security - but we also do NOT want to be lied to - southern border is not a sieve to drug traffickers and ME terrorist - all of the 911 attackers, San Bernardino attackers etc did not come into country via Mexico - visa

Fences and walls work! Heaven has a gate and rules to follow.

Build it. Just don’t use taxpayer money to do it. Mexico is paying. Remember? So if Mexico is paying, there is no reason to demand money in the budget and shut the government down.

Hey @RepByrne you look foolish too!
