Republicans to STEAL $10Billion from healthcare, poor, social security for border wall NEXT WEEK

[CousinIT]

THE ACTUAL ARTICLE TITLE: House GOP poised to move $10 billion for border wall -- (but - where the f*ck are they going to GET $10 BILLION IF THEY DON'T STEAL IT FROM THE POOR, HEALTHCARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY? Hmm?)

House Republicans next week will begin moving legislation to provide billions of dollars for wall construction at the southern border — a central campaign promise of President Trump that has so far eluded the GOP-led Congress.

The House Homeland Security Committee will mark up the legislation — the Border Security for America Act — on Oct. 4, the panel announced Wednesday.

Sponsored by Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, the legislation would provide $10 billion aimed at securing the U.S.-Mexico border, including funding for new wall and fencing construction, border defense technology and aerial surveillance like drones.

The bill also lends a $5 billion boost to U.S. ports of entry; funds an additional 10,000 border-patrol agents and officers; and expands the use of National Guard troops in border protection efforts, including new wall construction.

Another Texas Republican, Sen. John Cornyn, has introduced similar legislation in the upper chamber.

The legislation has little chance of reaching the president’s desk — at least on its own — as Democratic leaders have drawn a clear line opposing any legislation that includes funding for new wall construction. While House Republicans can likely pass the bill through the lower chamber, Senate GOP leaders will have a much tougher time finding the eight Democratic or independent supporters they’d need to kill a filibuster.

5. That's a House bill.
