[quote=Anonymous][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]
Or maybe that's what they approved because they didn't want more money for the wall.
Or maybe that's what they approved because they thought  MX should pay for it like Trump said.

Who knows. I know this much.  Trump had a chance at $25bil in border security money and blew it.[/quote]
