$1.375 billion to build 55 miles of new border barriers
What a joke. Both sides are playing the sheep.
"WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on government negotiations over border security (all times local):
9:40 p.m.
Three people familiar with Congress’ tentative border security deal tell The Associated Press that the accord would provide $1.375 billion to build 55 miles of new border barriers.
That’s well below the $5.7 billion President Donald Trump demanded to build over 200 miles of wall along the Mexican boundary. The money will be for vertical steel slats called bollards, not a solid wall."
