McConnell to seek $5B for border wall

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will try to approve $5 billion for the construction of President Trump's long-promised southern border wall when Congress returns after the Nov. 6 election.

McConnell, R-Ky., told the Washington Examiner Thursday the Senate won’t stick to the $1.6 billion wall funding included in the Senate’s 2019 Homeland Security Appropriations measure. Instead, it will try to raise the amount to match the House Homeland spending bill, which includes $5 billion for the wall.

“We are going to try really hard to get the money the president would like this year for the border wall ,” McConnell told the Washington Examiner.

Trump has been clamoring for additional billions to construct new barriers along the southern border, but election-year jitters left the GOP wary of a spending fight with Democrats, who oppose wall funding.
