GOP leaders want details before funding Trump’s border wall – BY ALEXANDER BOLTON – 03/16/17
Republican leaders in Congress want more details from President Trump about his proposed border wall before appropriating significant funding for the project.
They have questions about the design and how the administration would handle the rights of property owners whose land would be used to build the structure.
“What I’d like to see is a plan that we know is going to be implemented that’s going to be effective before we start writing the check,” said Senate Republican Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas).
Cornyn said the administration needs to spell out “a layered approach” of “infrastructure, technology and personnel.”
He and House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas), who has jurisdiction over the wall, are in negotiations with the Trump administration to figure out precisely what they have in mind.
“We’d like to see what the plan is before we write a big check,” McCaul told The Hill on Thursday.
