Secondly, where did you read that these specific cuts will pay for the wall?

Thirdly, the plan has always been that the US government will pay for the wall and recoup the money from tariffs imposed on Mexico.
Did anyone actually think that we'd send Mexico a bill and they'd send us a check to build a wall?

And by the way, Homeland Security's budget will be increased. So maybe we're giving DHS more of the responsibility that these other agencies once had.

This is all just a proposal and we have no idea what else is being suggested. What's unfortunate here is that every time some new information comes out it gives the left something to jump all over and make false claims about.

Everyone needs to calm down and see what happens long term.
