What is it? This bill — the 50 Votes for the Wall Act — would allow the budget reconciliation process to be used to provide up to $25 billion for the construction of a border wall and other security-related infrastructure before January 19, 2021. Funds would go into a Border Wall and Security Trust Fund, which would cease to exist on September 30, 2028 and any unobligated funding remaining in the trust at that date would be returned to the general fund of the Treasury.

I know many of you don’t like Q, but this drop explains it. And I thought y’all would appreciate the sarcasm at the end of it

there is no factual basis to assume the caravan is a national security threat

There is no factual basis to assume it’s not...

There is factual basis and precedent to suggest several thousand people don’t care if they break they laws of multiple countries.

I guess they are just a local security threat.

I'd call it the end the illegal Democrat Voter Act. Stick a wall on the Rio Grande and stop those coyotes little rubber boat parade for one thing. If they shoot at our people take a Barrett and return fire.

"National security refers to the security of a nation state, including its citizens, economy, and institutions, and is regarded as a duty of government."

There's definitely a factual basis to assume that an open border with millions pouring across is threatening our citizens, our economy and our institutions.

Any 5 year old who plays with army men can understand this. Let me help you out:
Here’s definitions of the word SECURITY:

If these “caravans” containing 10,000 people or more (or even less) continue, then yes they will be classified as a national security threat. We can’t keep our military stationed out there forever. Consider the cost of doing that forever.....

A huge tall wall must be built to secure our borders.....There’s that word again....

In a nutshell:
Secured borders = secure nation

Unsecured borders being stormed by 10s of thousands = security threat to the nation

Whatever is one unit tougher than whatever anyone else in this thread says.

How about we just take 300 million out of the aid we give we to Honduras, buy Venezuela and let them govern themselves as we see fit?

Waiting in line to apply for asylum != storming the border

Make it easier to legally enter and work here and illegal border crossings will be a nonissue.

It's absolutely a NatSec issue and should be funded as such.
