White House budget director Mick Mulvaney on Sunday said the Trump administration will roll out a budget on Monday that will include funds to build the president’s long-promised wall along the Mexican border.
He said the plan would include $3 billion for the barrier and a contingency for $25 billion over two years if Congress approves legislation to shield “Dreamers,” immigrants brought to the United States illegally by their parents, from deportation.
“What I’m saying in a very confusing way is that we are assuming in our 2018 proposal that a DACA deal is done and that the border wall is funded,” he said, referring to the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Trump on Friday signed a bipartisan $400 billion spending bill that will benefit the military and generate “jobs, jobs, jobs,” but that could also create a projected deficit of $1.2 trillion in 2019 and higher in the coming years.
