Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) criticized the Trump Administration for diverting $3.6 Billion from 127 military projects to build a wall along the United States' Southern border.
"Diverting $3.6 billion from military projects in the United States and abroad is reckless and irresponsible. It puts our national security and our men and women in uniform at risk. Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle have warned that a border wall would be a waste of taxpayer dollars. I will join my colleagues in Congress to fight this unwise policy," said Larson.
