If you do the math the wall is 1 10th of 1% of this years spending. The budget is 4.4 Trillion or 4400 billion 4400/5=.001. When have the democrats ever argued over such a small amount of money. This is totally political on their part.
Dems need to stop being so childish. Trump won on building the wall so just build the damn wall. If you don't like it vote him out in 2 years.

You mention it being totally political on the Democratic side. Very possible. However, the ONLY reason Trump is pushing the wall so hard is that he PROMISED it to his supporters. His pushing the wall now is totally political.
