Reporter kristen, of course this border wall news came as no surprise to its opponents. Primarily democratic politicians as well as Community Activists are really starting to strategize how theyre going to block or delay its construction. But federal regulations and treaties may also come into play. In san jose and other major imgranting communities, activists say they will not let the border wall go up without a fight. We do have allies in congress who are fighting for the immigrant community and have the ability and the opportunity to put pressure and put roadblocks in the process to make sure that the border wall isnt built.

Momentum shifted when two influential moderates that had been no votes went into the yes column when meeting with the president and getting newcomb mittments on coverage with people with preexisting conditions. We have seen this movie before but Republican Leaders have been saying since the first repeal effort collapse that they would not Bring Health Care to the floor unless it could pass so it seems likely they at least believe they do have the votes this time.
