Something that allocates $25 billion to a wall, correct? >> i wouldnt. that is correct. but heres the thing that really is making this issue already difficult, almost impossible. you see the presidents language talking about infesting, invading, demeaning to hispanics. number two, we should not be using children, the dreamers or these kids, as a bargaining chip. theyre innocent. and this is where in congress we go off the rails. we have contentious issues and then as leverage, you bring in extra...
