KOSIK: “The administration will invest more than $80 billion for veterans services and increase resources to fight the opioid epidemic. High on the president’s agenda, he will try to get $8.6 billion for a border wall. And so broken down, as you showed, it’s a reimbursement of $3.6 billion in military construction funds that he hopes will be spent this year. This is coming from that declaration of a national emergency. And it also includes the $5 billion for Customs and Border Protection.”
