The fact of the matter is the border “wall” is and has always been mixed methods of fences, solid border and electronic surveillance mixed with officers. Nearly every administration since Reagan has approved funding to fix, reinforce, and/or improve border security. This time is no different in that the funding Trump is so adamant about will go to the DHS to fix, improve, add, replace border materials whether called a fence or wall. It would also go to hiring more officers and adding additional surveillance improvements.

the menu of mixed methods is exactly what Democrats are proposing putting 1.6 billion dollars towards. It is not what Trump campaigned on and not what he is asking for.

No matter how you want to twist it, it already exists and they appropriate as I described. Unfortunately, no matter the verbiage utilized during a campaign or now, the Dems will twist and label it as this bad thing. Hell, they supported a “wall” before! Semantics just like “Mexico will pay for it”, right? $1.6B or $5.6B , it will go to the same pot and be used for anything DHS deems more critical to enabling border security. That, according to their latest report is the wall/fencing and then manning. This is simply the Dems grand standing for hubris sake.
