    Haha, I doubt it. It’s the same law from 4 years ago so everything is probably all the same.

    Are you referring to a specific debacle with the contractors, or just the fact that the walls fell apart so quickly and were immediately rendered ineffective after wasting billions of dollars building them?

      I just found this thread and tracked down the original for you.

      https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/05/15/2019-10079/determination-pursuant-to-section-102-of-the-illegal-immigration-reform-and-immigrant-responsibility

      Which explicitly states the same language, but from 2019.

        Oh, yeah, that’s what I’m saying. It’s the exact same law from 2019

      Well, the contractors that the trump administration used were just bratva fronts. So I would hope that we’re at least not giving anymore money to violent pedophiles.

        Oh, I don’t know anything about this. Do you mind giving a little exposition or throwing up a source I can read? Thanks
