A growing number of Congressional Republicans are voicing opposition to paying for Donald Trump’s wall along the Mexican border. Congress may not be able to fund the wall because many members of Congress don’t want to give Trump the money.
CNN reported, “A growing number of congressional Republicans are objecting to the cost and viability of a proposal that was a rallying cry for the billionaire businessman during his insurgent campaign. Interviews with more than a dozen GOP lawmakers across the ideological spectrum suggest Trump could have a difficult time getting funding for his plan approved by Congress. Many bluntly told CNN they’d likely vote against any Trump plan that is not fully offset with spending cuts, while others questioned whether Trump’s vision would adequately resolve the problems at the border.”
The fact that Congress is raising opposition to paying for the wall is not a surprise to anyone who has been backing attention. Less than a week after Trump won the election in November 2016, House Republican leadership announced opposition to paying for Trump’s wall.
