[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why hasn't the Trump administration hired more Border Patrol agents and immigration officials? Fiddling while Rome burns seems to be this administration's MO.[/quote]

Why hasn't Congress passed a bill that would allow for more border barriers to discourage easy entry to our country?  [/quote]
Excellent question.[/quote]
I wonder who was in complete control of Congress for the first two years of Trump's term. [/quote]

60 votes in the Senate wasn't there. [/quote]
Yep, even some Rs didn't want to fund the border wall.[/quote]

Republicans only had 52 seats. They just didn't have he numbers. It was DEMOCRATS that didn't want to fund the border (shocking I know)[/quote]
Some Rs don't either.

In their two years in control of Congress, Republicans did not prioritize Trump’s border wall. They approved $1.6 billion for border security projects for fiscal 2018, but only a fraction of that was to be used for construction of a wall. They were willing to kick in another $1.6 billion for fiscal 2019, a fraction of what the project could ultimately cost.[/quote][/quote]

Or maybe that's what they approved that much because that is what would pass for democrats[/quote]
