Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

Trump commits to $750bn US defence budget just a week after saying $717bn is 'crazy'



Trump has backtracked on his proposal to shrink military spending, instead agreeing to Defence Secretary Jim Mattis’ request for a $750 billion budget for the upcoming 2019 fiscal year.

Last week, Mr Trump tweeted that a $716 billion Defence Department budget is “crazy.”

"I am certain that, at some time in the future, President Xi and I, together with President Putin of Russia, will start talking about a meaningful halt to what has become a major and uncontrollable Arms Race," Mr Trump tweeted earlier this month. "The U.S. spent 716 Billion Dollars this year. Crazy!"

It's def crazy.  A measly $5B for a permanent wall is worth it, however.

Since Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have publicly announced they will not fund a border wall, this is Trump's way of doing an "end around."  Chancy (Chuck and Nancy) in a way have forced Trump's hand.  He will fund the border wall through the discretionary portion of the defense budget.

By the way, I loved how their negotiations played out in public for all to see today.  This is good.  Open honest negotiations instead of battling press conferences where each side demonizes the other.

Naturally, Pelosi was not happy about the open exchange.  Too bad.
