House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) introduced a bill on Friday to fully fund President Trump's proposed border wall, a chief campaign promise that Congress has struggled to deliver.

The measure, dubbed the "Build the Wall, Enforce the Law Act," provides $23.4 billion to construct a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, with $5.5 billion in funding available immediately.

Around $16.6 billion would be dedicated to physical barriers, while the rest would cover technology, operations and other infrastructure costs associated with border security.

The measure does not indicate where in the budget the money would come from. As an advance appropriation, it would be up to appropriators to decide where future cuts will need to come from in order to cover the costs of the bill.

"For decades, America's inability to secure our borders and stop illegal immigration has encouraged millions to undertake a dangerous journey to come here in violation of our laws and created huge loopholes in the legal channels we use to welcome immigrants to our country," McCarthy, a top Trump ally who seeks to replace retiring Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) next year, said in a statement.

[BigmanPigman]

1. Doesn't the Senate have to approve this too?

[bearsfootball516]

7. Yes. It has 0 chance of getting 60 votes.

[pangaia]

18. It doesn't matter. They will just change the rules.

[Iliyah]

2. The USA is going into an economic crisis.

Where the fuck are they going to get the money from. Us again?

[Bengus81]

20. First stop is FULLY KILLING the ACA and subsidies

[Maxheader]

21. Of course...!

Dementia boys tax cuts cost a trillion dollars in lost revenues that could have paid for the wall...

[nature-lover]

3. Return the kids and save that "Room and Board" money.

[Initech]

4. I thought Mexico was going to pay for it?

Oh wait, their response I believe was something along the lines of "shove that wall up your ass".

[htuttle]

9. I believe the exact quote was..

"Fuck the wall."

[Wounded Bear]

11. I'm pretty sure it was...

"We ain't paying for your fucking wall!"

[htuttle]

15. +1 Yup, that was it

[Renew Deal]

[NewJeffCT]

6. That's what I want to know

Mexico was supposed to pay for all of it

[Freethinker65]

8. Using Saudi money now?

[Wounded Bear]

10. Pure electioneering...

Now they'll have an issue to point at Dems and say, "S/he voted against the wall!" Useless in blue states, probably effective for the low information Trumplodytes in red states.

[JohnnyRingo]

23. Yeah, they know it'll need 61 votes in the Senate.

Call their bluff, but in the spirit of bipartisanship insist we call it the Hillary Clinton Great Wall Of Justice. Then vote on it.

[NCjack]

12. Kevin McCarthy thinks his bold play will make him Speaker when Paul Ryan departs. Looks

like a bad calculation to me.

[riversedge]

13. Pelosi will be handled the gavel shortly--if good Karma.. Yet I am leary as so much

can happen in a few short weeks. Trying NOT to count my chicks yet.

[Garion_55]

14. Democrats should agree if...

It is paid for by a tax increase on billionaires

[Perseus]

16. On top of all the character flaws republicans have

One of the worst is that they love to put their tongue up their leaders butt...How infantile these people are, it is amazing! They have no pride, no self-respect...where do these people come from, what planet?

[cstanleytech]

17. He is trying to pander for more votes for himself and the other Repugnants before the election

by like minded idiots who support wasting far to much tax payer money on a wall that would do jack shit.

[procon]

19. "The measure does not indicate where in the budget the money would come from."

Stop, right there.

Are Dems exploiting this fiscal irresponsibility from Republican hypocrites?

[JohnnyRingo]

22. He introduced it in Mexico City?

I can't wait to see how they vote on it.

[rtracey]

24. yeah

Do it now muthafucker, because in a few weeks you will be the minority in this house.

[kimbutgar]

25. All these natural disasters happening you'd think that money should be spent helping people

And not that stupid wall. I wish his opponent would use that against him in November.

[beachbum bob]

26. sure as long as the budget is cut from defense department to pay for it

[dubyadiprecession]

27. But, but, but...

Didn't the new trade deal made with mexico, have a stipulation in it for funding the wall???
What ever happened to mexico paying for the wall???

Oh well, I guess the trump base is used to being letdown by Trump's campaign promises.
