The Congressional Democrats are refusing to admit the border crisis of their own design and are putting out a party-wide alert to retract all funding. “In nearly half of the 12 annual appropriations bills House Democrats
have ushered through committee, they have included specific language to
block wall-related emergency powers,” reported The Hill. The next big
fight is the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill, which rescinds $6 million in previous funding and provides zero border wall
funding or additional funds for agents or checkpoints.
They take this action knowing full-well that President Trump is committed to closing down the government again if he doesn't get border wall and border care funding. They are including specific language to block wall-related emergency
powers, limit the use of flexible funds and oppose refilling accounts
that could be used to build the barrier. And they take these actions also knowing that there is growing resentment within their own party base toward them over the inhumane conditions at the border.
