Lindsey Graham Reveals Staggering Investment Trump Preparing To Make On Securing Border

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said over the weekend that President-elect Donald Trump plans to implement a $100 billion agenda to secure the U.S. border and deport illegal aliens in the United States.

Graham made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” with Margaret Brennan when asked about Trump’s border agenda.

“Do you have a top line number yet on how much this is all going to cost?” Brennan asked.

“Yes, $100 billion for border security through reconciliation would be enough to hire ICE agents, create new detention beds, and finish the wall and put technology in place over four years,” Graham said. “$200 billion will be given to the military to make it more capable of deterring China. $100 billion for border. $200 billion for the military.”

“I met with Mike Johnson yesterday,” he continued. “He has a political problem in the House. He wants to do one big, beautiful bill. I have never been more worried about an attack on our homeland than I am now with the rise of ISIS in Afghanistan and wars all over the world. I think the number one priority for the Republican Party should be to secure that border. You need new money to do it. And if we don’t, we’re playing Russian roulette with our own national security.”

“You need to secure that border like our life depended on it,” he added.
