BROWN of Maryland. Mr. Speaker, President Trump's immigration policies are unpopular. They don't protect our national security and don't promote our ideals as a nation. Nowhere is that more apparent than his repeated calls for a border wall. This wall is so unpopular and nonsensical that the House has now resorted to funding it without even a straight up-or-down vote. Why are they doing this? Not only to give the President a much-needed win, but to fool the American taxpayer who was repeatedly promised that Mexico would pay for this wall. The border wall is expensive and unnecessary. It is opposed not only by a huge majority of Americans, but also by those living on the border. Now, Members of Congress are being forced to choose between voting for the wall and voting to fund our military.
