OMB acting Director Russell Vought says security at the southern U.S. border is 'deteriorating by the day.'
Russell Vought, acting White House budget director, said Monday security at the southern U.S. border is"deteriorating by the day," and he's blaming Democrats for refusing to approve President Donald Trump's repeated requests for wall funding.
The White House is expected to release Trump's budget proposal for fiscal year 2020 Monday, which is expected to seek $8.6 billion from Congress for additional barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump's declaration last month, aimed at circumventing Congress to pay for his wall, is currently being challenged by more than a dozen states. They say Trump is"trying to rob funds that were allocated by Congress legally to various states."
Congress is unlikely to approve Trump's budget proposal because Democrats, who staunchly oppose building a wall, control the House, and any spending bill modeled after the president's plan would need bipartisan support in the Republican-controlled Senate.
