As President Trump reviews the funding bill that will give him $1.37 billion for only 55 miles of new border barriers . . .
Reviewing the funding bill with my team at the @WhiteHouse!

. . . or whatever “primary pedestrian fencing” and “levee pedestrian fencing” counts as . . .
Here's the legislative text on the wall/barrier — it provides $1.375 billion "for the construction of primary pedestrian fencing, including levee pedestrian fencing, in the Rio Grande Valley Sector." pic.twitter.com/wW8g1voCcr

. . . it’s pretty clear that Fox News’ Laura Ingraham is in the “do not sign” column:
So the president has his hand forced to sign a 1,159 page bill that we KNOW is filled with amnesty, PORK and wiggle room? Total SCAM! @realDonaldTrump wasn’t elected for this.
— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) February 14, 2019
As in, “This bill must NOT be signed”:
This bill must NOT be signed by @realDonaldTrump.

Ingraham argues that the bill is an illegal immigrant “stimulus”:
This bill is tantamount to an illegal immigration “stimulus” — de facto amnesty to any “sponsor,” family member or “potential sponsor” of an unaccompanied minor. #ChainMigrationAmnesty
— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) February 14, 2019
That will increase the number of “family units” headed to the U.S.:
This 1,169 page monstrosity will green light more “family units” crossing illegally—without a doubt.

Folks in Honduras or Guatemala thinking of joining a caravan and are just now hearing about this bill…of course are going to come.
— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) February 14, 2019
So, if he signs it, “shame on Trump?”
Remember, @realDonaldTrump signed that #omnibus last year, on promise he’d get his wall funding. They lied to him. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…

Ingraham is not the only one warning the president about what’s in the bill:
Lots of bad but swallowable stuff in $ bill. But Sec.224 is a poison pill: Gives deportation immunity to any sponsor—or POTENTIAL sponsor—of an "unaccompanied" alien child. Creates incentive for illegals already here to order up kids from Central America (or anywhere). Outrageous
— Mark Krikorian (@MarkSKrikorian) February 14, 2019
And this:
Mark, it’s not just that. This is pure awful in 224… but the sections prohibiting building fences on many public lands and then requiring approvals will undermine the very building of the fence. No bed funding at border, caps ICE beds, no judges that I’ve seen yet. #2WeekCR https://t.co/BwyYJcs5iA
