Trump’s Not Done With His Border Wall Crusade

Donald Trump isn’t giving up pushing Congress to fund his wall.The presidential budget request set for release this morning in Washington includes at least $8.6 billion in new funding for the construction of a barrier on the border with Mexico.The proposal threatens to breathe fresh life into a partisan dispute that prompted the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. The president’s latest bid for congressional wall money is in addition to the funds that he’s hoping to allocate through executive action after declaring a national emergency in February over the situation on the border.With Democrats in control of the U.S. House, the dynamics in Congress aren’t likely to change to Trump’s advantage.
