[The Purge]

Lets just do it with 51 Senate votes during reconciliation over the Christmas holiday - like Obamacare

Isn't that the expectation?

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz with three other senators introduced a bill Wednesday that is aimed at fully funding a wall along the US-Mexico border... The WALL Act would fully fund the border wall by closing existing loopholes that provide illegal immigrants with federal benefits and tax credits, without affecting the benefits and tax credits used by Americans.

Does nothing to solve any of the underlying issues.

Upgrading Ellis Island does.

Not all funding has to originate in the House. Only bills that pertain to raising revenue.

Can't do that. Only can use that once a congressional session, They already used it for the tax cuts.

The funding will never happen. Democrats control all legislation in the senate with the filibuster.

So sorry but the republicans blew their chance with that already. LOL.

Cruz has really matured. I was afraid he'd be a #NeverTrump fanatic like brain-damaged John McCain't. I hope Trump puts him on the Supreme Court. I doubt if he converted to Populism out of opportunistic ambition. He must be in a state where people can redeem their empty Koch bottles.
