Serious question: is there actuall proposed legislative language about what "The Wall" is and/or what the 5.6 billion would go towards that the WH has drafted? Like, what does the bill text for that appropriation look like?
OK, so here's the legislative language from the House version. HR 695 SEC 141, ready for this?
"Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, there is appropriated for ‘U.S. Customs and Border Protection—Procurement, Construction, and Improvements’ $5,710,357,000 for fiscal year 2019, to remain available until September 30, 2023."
Ok, so it's very precise on the number of dollars, but basically a totally unrestricted fund for "Procurement, Construction and Improvements."
In other words: What, specifically, is the proposal here: what is being and done and where and for what reason? No answers from anyone in any detail as far as I can tell.
