So much for a wall. So much for Mexico paying for it. Congress just approved enough money for 55 miles of border fencing.
Duped again!
A bipartisan group of House and Senate negotiators — no doubt aware of when Trump was set to begin speaking — sent word Monday evening that they had struck a deal to avoid a shutdown and keep the Homeland Security Department and other federal agencies open past Friday. Democrats had quickly dropped a demand to cap the number of undocumented immigrants that federal authorities could detain at length that had been hanging up the talks, and Republicans had agreed to limit new border fencing to 55 miles.
In other words, no wall.
Trump pretends that Congress hadn't just demolished his wall
