Van Hollen: Many Experts Said It’s a Waste of Money to Build a ‘Huge Wall’

‘We need border security’

RUSH EXCERPT:

VAN HOLLEN: "Let’s replay the tape a little bit on all of this. You remember when the president invited the cameras in to the White House. He talked about how he wanted a bill of love and he told Republicans and Democrats to come up with a bipartisan bill. People like Lindsey Graham and dick Durbin took him at his word. They came back and the meeting blew up and triggered the shut down. We tried to get opioid funding, tried to deal with community health centers and a commitment from Mitch McConnell to have a vote on a bipartisan DACA bill. We will have to negotiate what does in that bill. Everyone is in favor of border security. We need border security. The issue is smart use of taxpayer dollars. You know many of experts have said it’s a waste of money to build a huge wall, one that the president said Mexico is going to pay for."
