Durbin: The Wall Is a ‘Political Stunt’

‘Now we know it’s going to cost $20 billion to $70 billion for this wall’

RUSH EXCERPT:
DURBIN: "Dana, the Democrats in the House and the Senate are ready to work and cooperate with Republicans to keep our government open. But we told the president and the Republicans weeks ago, don’t try any political stunts. Don’t put any poison pills into this process. Let’s just do the — our responsible, important work of funding this government. We know what this wall is all about. This was a promise made by the president during his campaign. And don’t you remember, he said the Mexicans were going to pay for it? Now we know it’s going to cost $20 billion to $70 billion for this wall. And, as you said with your interview with General Kelly, we have Democrats and Republicans all along the border opposing this idea. It’s a political stunt, an obsession for the president that should not shut down our government."
