What's the tradeoff, meaning what is being done with the cartel seizures today


Most likely buying APC's and other military equipment for small town police forces who will never need them.

Clearly he knows because he’s a budget abuse watchdog.

I mean do you think anyone on this website knows where that money goes?

It’s probably sitting in an FBI vault somewhere if we’re being realistic.

that is actually a good idea assuming the usa does not start another Iran Contra scheme by seizing without due process

No way Pelosi lets this fly. Not only does it give Trump the wall, but it’s a Mexican paying for it.

So you're admitting a wall is needed and effective.

They will be against it purely because it will actually be Mexico paying for the wall. No way can they allow that win.
Was that meant to be funny?

That's just a distraction. The bill would still have to be currently funded through current appropriations.

The Democrats are not going to do a bill that deals with funding the wall without it also addressing the immigration reforms that they want.

And I really, really, want to see Pelosi and Schumer stand side by side and argue against this one.



Pelosi will never let this bill come to the house floor for a vote. Might be able to get it attached as an amendment, but never as a stand alone bill.
