The point is that money destined for the wall be redirected to disaster response and infrastructure needs. Every time Trump tries to get money for the wall Democrats need to remind Ryan and McConnell of the other pressing needs. Add amendments, etc. to make it happen.

Border walls are a big, fat waste of taxpayer resources, especially that Harvey cleanup is, or at least should be, priority #1.

Plan for future infrastructure needs related to preventing floods or dealing with them when they occur.

Who wants to be reminded of the atrocities committed by the drumpf administration on the majority of the American people and our former Democracy. NO BORDER WALL!

So to resist that, insist that disasters be paid for first! Keep hitting it until even Republicans realize that there is no money for the wall. We can't just say "No Border Wall!" and leave it at that. Not nearly enough. People understand that disaster cleanup costs money - lots of it. We have to use every disaster to remind people of just how stupid it is to waste money on walls.

He and his cohorts want to put it up? Get the money from Mexico like he's promised for two years.
