..."The president’s plan to build a border wall was part of a contentious budget fight in Congress
this year. The administration was seeking $3.6 billion in the 2017 and
2018 budgets for just over 100 miles of wall. But members of Congress —
Democrats and Republicans — have so far declined to provide funding for
the project and instead expanded funding to increase the use of
technology such as sensors at the border."
On
Tuesday, the House Appropriations Committee approved a spending
bill that included $1.6 billion for a wall. The spending measure
will now move to a full house member vote. Call now ....
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
[IF COMMITTEE, ADD]: I'd like to pass along a message for the Chairman and committee members.]
I'm calling to express my strong opposition to any federal budget that funds the construction of a southern border wall. A border wall will not improve our border security and will cost taxpayers billions of dollars.
Thank you for your hard work answering the phones.
