Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) on Wednesday launched a invoice to make the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border a nationwide monument, dubbing it the “DON-ument Act” in a nod to President Trump.
The “Southern Border Wall National Monument,” the invoice states, can be established in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas to “protect the southern border wall from alteration.”
“I’m proud to introduce THE DON-ument Act, a tribute to President Trump’s commitment to securing our southern border and protecting America’s sovereignty,” Mills mentioned in an announcement.
“This Southern Border Wall National Monument, spanning California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, stands as a powerful symbol of our mission to stop illegal crossings and defend our nation’s interests. By enshrining the wall alongside historic sites like The Statue of Liberty and Fort McHenry, we honor the America First principles that keep our communities safe and strong,” Mills mentioned.
The invoice provides to many Trump-flattery payments launched by Home Republicans this yr.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) proposed carving Trump into Mount Rushmore; Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) proposed making Trump’s birthday a nationwide vacation; and Rep. Addison McDowell (R-N.C.) launched a invoice to rename Dulles Airport to Donald J. Trump Worldwide Airport.
There’s a invoice to rebrand the Washington Metropolitan Space Transit Authority as “WMAGA” and name the Metro the Trump Prepare, from Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.). A invoice from Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) would put Trump on the $100 invoice, whereas Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) has a invoice to create $250 payments with Trump’s portrait.
It additionally comes as Mills is battling a former girlfriend’s allegations of harassment and threatening to launch intimate images, which he has forcefully denied.
