Sen. Elizabeth Warren proposed diverting billions of dollars of funding for President Trump's border wall to government efforts to respond to the coronavirus.Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, introduced the Prioritizing Pandemic Prevention Act on Thursday to require that approximately $10 billion be redirected from fence projects along the U.S.-Mexico border to the Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Agency for International Development to make up for the money Congress will spend preparing for and responding to the virus."The coronavirus outbreak poses serious health,

Gee, Michelle Obama simply did an Infomercial telling people to sneeze into their shirt sleeves and not put their fingers in their mouths.

What if 2.5 billion isn't needed? How does she know $10 billion is enough or too much

Mexico just had its first reported cases of CV.
When this hits the slums of Mexico, it will be an epic disaster. Zombie movie disaster.
The wall is plague security. Faster, please.

It occurs to me that, since flights from China to the U.S. are under scrutiny... a more likely entry point will be across the Mexican border...

You didn't catch that because E.W. diverted 10B of your hard earned dollars to battle a non-event. As observed elsewhere, we need the wall now more than ever. Warren is a dumb cluck.

And then of course our porous border would allow still MORE people who may or may not have corona and/or many other transmittable diseases straight through---just not to Elizabeth's neighborhood. Does nobody see the total ILLOGIC of this, and by that I mean nobody in the Press?

It is so stupid how the democrats are trying to throw money at this virus. President Trump feels it will cost about $2.5 Billion, Kevin McCarthy is saying $4 Billion, Schumer is saying $8.5 Billion and now Warren at $10 Billion. This is crazy. She wants to take money from the wall that would protect us and keep other that may be infected out.

Warren wants to divert funds to CV and leave the border wide open to infected illegals.
Zippy sent our troops to Africa at ground zero for Ebola, then had them return and told us "no worries."
Liberals and militant homosexuals refused to enact proven public health measures in San Francisco to nip the aids epidemic in the bud.
Parents and schools won't let kids play outdoors in the mud puddles to naturally acquire needed resistance to infections.
The left is just trying to get us all killed.

The wall is anti-virus. Its anti virus, rape, robbery, vehicular manslaughter, job theft etc. More anti-virus money for the wall, please.

If Leftists had the ability to reason logically (I know, I know, then they wouldn't be Leftists), they would realize that the COVID-19 screening now going on at our ports of entry is also necessary along our southern border. Of course, they want no restrictions on immigration through our southern border because they believe they will gain votes and power from unrestricted immigration. Public health is of no concern to them.

Congress should spend it's time trying to balance the existing budget, rather than looking for more ratholes to throw money down. There must be a serious kickback scheme in place to have these politicos always demanding more and more taxpayer monies.

It used to be when there was a major health emergency in this country, people would put aside their political differences and come together.
But lie-berals are so mentally sick with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) that they will use anything and everything -- even if it costs thousands of American lives -- as long as it hurts their president. Donald Trump, and the Republicans.
If you really don't believe that lie-berals are mentally ill, just look at stunts like this. A waste of time and tax dollars, before it goes down in the Senate. She knows that, but she also knows the Demon-Rats can use this to tell their base "see, the Republicans don't want to stop this virus". Evil -- just pure evil!!!!!

"How to get your bill vetoed" - a pamphlet by Fauxcahantas.
Actually, Trump should take the $8.5 billion Schumer proposed instead of the oritinal $2.5 billion. Then spend the extra $6 billion on more border wall, to keep out infected illegals. An absolutely legitimate and necessary expense.

Given Mexico's poor health record, this is 1. A terrible idea for Americans' health, and 2. A disgusting bit of venal politicizing on the back of a serious medical situation by the vile opportunist, Elizabeth Warren.

Ole Lizard is playing politics. She is manufacturing an issue. She knows either McConnell or Trump will shoot it down. Why put up legislation that is doomed to failure? This isn't governing.

$10 billion, of which at least $8 billion would go to liberal ''charities,'' think tanks, consultants, and black holes! No thanks, Lizzie. We have a man in charge who knows what to do!

If illegals come in THEY may have the virus. That's the point.

Why not stop it before it gets here instead of waiting until it gets here? She's a dangerous moron.

It won’t be long before corona virus carriers will be jumping the borderline. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco essentially encouraged that with two recent rulings.

Leave it to a Democrat to promote open borders in the face of a possible pandemic disease.

Then she will need another ten big ones to give medical care to all that cross an open border and the ones they infect.
We also have a big home coming from the Caribbean. Who will arrive to 'visit family' while in the incubation period and never leave?
The faux squaw is getting more desperate every day and there is no lie too big to tell.
