Following is a blog that I wrote earlier about requesting an accounting for the border wall during the Obama era and where and how all of that money went up in smoke.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – AMERICA NEEDS AN ACCOUNTING FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT ON THE BORDER WALL DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
Now that the bill has been passed and signed by both the House and the Senate, could we have a report from both houses as to where we stand with the border wall and the amount of money we have to build the wall?
More than a BILLION of dollars have been spent in recent years on a physical wall and the so-called virtual fence, and what do we have to show for it? Whoever is furnishing and tracking the money is not doing a very good job.
The virtual fence never worked. It didn’t work when it was started in 1998 under the Clinton administration, and the company that originally worked on it, L-3 Communications, wasted about $250 million. It didn’t work under Boeing either. They walked away with about $1 billion – for what?
Just think, so far we have wasted $250 million for L-3 Communications and $1 $1 billion for Boeing and not one person was held accountable?
Were the Clinton, Bush II, and the Obama administration using this money as “stuff in the pocket money.” Why haven’t we had an investigation on what happened up to now? We just keep asking for more money and are spinning our wheels.
The American people want an accounting of this money.
This money that Schumer has asked for the New York/New Jersey tunnel is just another boondoogle for his Union cronies.

Trump had threatened earlier Friday to veto the spending bill Congress passed on Thursday because it did not include sufficient funding for the wall and because it omitted expiring protections for young, undocumented immigrants.
Although the White House requested $25 billion in funding for wall construction, lawmakers included just $1.6 billion in the final version of their omnibus. That money can only go to fencing, however, and cannot be used to build a concrete wall anywhere along the border.
“Not happy with $1.6 billion for the…
