[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3075322, member: 1132"] The reality is that Schumer never did promise Trump funding for the border wall. He offered the funding [U]authorization[/U], not the [U]appropriation[/U]. What's the difference? In this case, about $1.6B, because that's what happened with the Reagan Amnesty. The border protection funds were authorized but never appropriated. That's why 32 years later, we still don't have a secure border. BTW, Trump wanted (and needs) $20B to complete the wall, but Schumer only offered an [U]annual[/U] authorization of $1.6B. At that rate, the wall wouldn't be completed for another 15 years (after factoring inflation) even if they actually appropriated all that authorized funding, while DACAs would get amnesty now. Again, the same bait and switch used on Reagan back in 1986. Schumer was in Congress back in 1986 and he thought he could do the same thing to Trump that he did to Reagan. Nice try, but no cigar!
