A House spending bill has set aside $5 billion to build President Trump’s proposed border wall, including 200 miles of new physical barriers and technology.
The House Homeland Security appropriations bill for 2019, which was released Wednesday, significantly exceeds the Senate’s version, which allocated $1.6 billion and did not include any new physical barrier.
“This bill takes the largest steps in years toward finally fulfilling our promise to the American people to secure the border,” said Homeland Security Subcommittee Chairman Kevin Yoder (R-Kan.).
The subject of funding the wall is expected to be a central flashpoint in the fights over 2019 spending. Trump threatened to veto a spending bill or funding extension that does not fund the wall.
That could lead to a shutdown when the current funding expires after September 30th.
