Having said that, DT needs to veto this bill. Giving the stipulation of local officials signing off for the approval of wall funding is a non-starter.

Not just Trump but there are currently active emergencies going back to 1975.

The bill in its current form needs to be burned. It provides amnesty, puts specific language handcuffing barrier placement/funding, specific language to tie up barrier placement in local courts, cuts off dissemination of illegal activity to all DHS entities specifically ICE, provides funding to place safehouses along border, ecourages trafficing of persons, etc. It contains a ton of dangerous poison pills that we all know once they get funded will rarely if ever go away.
