Control to INCREASE THE STAFF BY 5,000. I didn't think the prez could just redirect $$ to a new project? What's with that?

Surely you don't expect Trump to follow his own rules?

5,000 extra agents is conservatively $500 Million.

And then he needs to hire everyone for his new deportation force.

They're constantly bitching about the deficit, and paying for the wall and all the labor to build it, hiring 5,000 workers to border security, building and staffing detention centers is going to cost A BUNDLE! I know they want to support THEIR prez,, but BILLIONNS??? Some of then just won't swallow that.

THEN, they'll find out the wall didn't work! It's gonna be an interesting couple of years.
