No, seriously, the Trump administration is building a wall
Trump’s wall has become a punchline. It’s also happening.

WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday passed a $1.3 trillion government spending deal.
The bill provided roughly only $1.6 billion for physical barriers and technology along the U.S.-Mexico border. The White House had been pushing for $25 billion. The $1.6 billion amount only included $641 million for 33 miles of new border fencing in the Rio Grande Valley, not a concrete wall.
The bill would also bar federal funding to build a barrier or wall along the U.S.-Mexico border in the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge in Texas.
So some fencing rather than the great big most beautiful wall promised by Trump which Mexico was going to pay for.
And I wouldn’t expect Congress to pass much else of anything major in a midterm election year after which the president’s party might not even control the House.
