Trump's funding request for US border wall hits snag among some Republicans| FX News Trump's funding request for US border wall hits snag among some Republicans| FX News ! A general view shows a newly built section of the US-Mexico border fence at Sunland Park, US opposite the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico Jan 26, 2017. Reuters President Donald Trump's call for $1.5 billion this year to help build a wall along the border with Mexico could be in jeopardy as fellow Republicans in Congress weigh delaying a decision on the request. Republican Senator Roy Blunt, a member of his party's leadership, told reporters on Tuesday that money for the wall likely would not be coupled with a spending bill that must pass by Apr 28 to avoid shutting down federal agencies whose funding expires then. Blunt said the must-do funding "comes together better" without Trump's additional request for the border wall and military programs and could be considered "at a later time." Democrats are threatening to block the bill funding federal agencies from Apr 29 to Sept 30, the end of the current fiscal year, if money for the border wall is included. They object to one of Trump's premier 2016 campaign promises, saying it is poorly planned and that there are other border security measures already constructed or under consideration. When he ran for president, Trump pledged Mexico would pay to build the wall, designed to keep illegal immigrants and drugs from entering the United States. The Mexican government has said it will not do so. The initiative has also faced resistance among Republicans, including lawmakers representing some border towns. The federal government would have to purchase land in many locations in order to construct the edifice, which could make construction costs soar. Reuters reported the wall could end up costing as much as $21.6 billion, far more than the $12 billion Trump cited. Representative Mario Diaz-Balart also expressed skepticism about Congress' ability to approve funds for the wall, given the super-majority vote needed in the Senate for most major legislation. Asked about the wall, Diaz-Balart, a senior member of the House of Representatives' Appropriations Committee and a leading voice on immigration policy, said: "I'm always willing to look at other things we can do to try to get that 60-vote threshold" on border and interior security. Lawmakers said progress was being made on legislation to keep the government running beyond April 28. #Trump's Border Wall Plan Faces 3 Key Hurdles #Trump's Border Wall May Force Government Shutdown #Final border wall bids due Wednesday #how the border wall would impact wildlife Our Previous video Link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLy1Or0r1QM Our Social Media Link : Facebook Page: http://ift.tt/2nIz8WO Blog : http://ift.tt/2omRgIk Google+ : http://ift.tt/2nIIRwb livejournal : http://ift.tt/2omCjGe twitter Follow us : https://twitter.com/FXNews242 OK.ru : https://ok.ru/fx.news reddit : http://ift.tt/2nIwbW0 linkedin : http://ift.tt/2omPJ5i instagram : http://ift.tt/2nIFZQ1 digg : http://ift.tt/2omGQsn Stumbleupon : http://ift.tt/2nIx5C0 VK : http://ift.tt/2omKeDA pinterest : http://ift.tt/2nIyM2i tumbler : http://ift.tt/2omIPNm Please Subscribe Our FX News Channel.
