Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, finally, on the wall--a place where there may be more agreement between some of us than on Judge Garland--last night we learned that the Trump administration will be seeking deep cuts to critical domestic programs in order to pay for a border wall. The administration is asking the American taxpayer to cover the cost of a wall--unneeded, ineffective, and absurdly expensive--that Mexico was supposed to pay for. He is cutting programs that are vital to the middle class in order to get that done. They want to cut the New Starts Transportation Program and TIGER grants.
