Joaquin Castro: I Hope Trump or Others Don’t Try to Put Border Wall Funding Into the Harvey Aid Package

‘I hope we learned our lesson after superstorm Sandy’

EXCERPT:

CASTRO: "I hope that there are no games that are played in terms of the funding. For example, in the back of my mind I keep thinking that it’s possible that some legislators, hopefully not the President, but that some legislators may want to put the border wall funding in a package for Texas. I hope that we can rule that out, but unfortunately in today’s politics, in today's Congress I don’t know that we can. So I hope that it will be a clean bill that only effects disaster related things as the superstorm Sandy bill did back then. We’ll see what happens."
