we were in the white house last week, and nancy pelosi was saying you re not going to be able to pass a $5 billion wall cr, basically the idea was they needed money for they needed votes from democrats to pass the cr. and part of that was the conservatives had all these ideas about asylum policy riders. there was a lot of conservatives who were concerned about the disaster aid that was added to this. because it was a political vote, a posturing vote, it goes to the senate where it s clearly not going to pass. but republicans can say, no, we you know, we went with the president, we voted this way, and now it s just sort of a standoff between the two chambers. i should note, though, just to be clear, the $5 million is american money, in the from the mexican government. not pesos, no, correct. i want to be clear. $5 billion of american public funds, not mexican funds.
