a wall is a massive structure program. if you re a democrat and you want the trillion dollar infrastructure maybe you re okay with a few bill for a wall. the democrats don t want the wall, end of story. they want the infrastructure that money to go to roads and bridges. for the democrats, it s more about the open border mentality. but i have to say, eric, i mean, there are ways to pay for this wall. one is through seize assets from drug lords. i know senator ted cruz introduced the el chapo act. if they would seize these up to $14 billion. we just saw the justice department come out with the study and audit in 2015, showing that these seized assets were $8.5 billion. there is money there to fund the wall. the question, do the republicans and g.o.p. leadership have an appetite to fight for this border? and i think that s going to have to the lead is going to have to come from the white house and ensuring that speaker ryan makes it a priority to put funding in for the border wall.
