...here are a couple of excerpts from the attached "FactCheck" article...
-------------------
Lankford’s office told Axios that the legislation — if the Senate version were to be resurrected — would translate to an estimated $650 million for border wall construction. That’s a fraction of the $18 billion sought by Trump in 2018. In recent campaign speeches and interviews, Trump has said he intended to build another 200 miles of new wall, but that Biden’s election upended it. At $20 million per mile, the $650 million from the bipartisan border bill would amount to less than 33 miles.
-------------------
Republicans are trying to accuse Harris of being dishonest about a significant policy flip-flop. But the premise is flawed. Harris has not suddenly thrown her support behind funding for a massive wall, such as Trump proposed. She has voiced support for a compromise bipartisan border bill that, among many other things, would allow $650 million of money appropriated during the Trump administration — a fraction of what Trump sought — to be used for border wall construction over the next four years. And, we note, Trump opposed the bill.
-------------------
Biden/Harris did the right thing in achieving a "Normal" Congressionally negotiated legislative Deal...they gave a little to achieve an acceptable outcome. In contrast, DJT killed the whole deal so that NO credit would accrue to Biden/Harris and take away his biggest talking point for re-election. In a word "Despicable".
And don't forget, Trump never got the GOP to agree on his multi-billion dollar "Boondoggle".
