So what is in this over two thousand page omnibus spending bill? South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn gives us a look at some of the highs and lows of the spending plan. More from AURN White House correspondent April Ryan.

I am considering a VETO of the Omnibus Spending Bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus DACA recipients have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded.

DACA was abandoned by the Democrats. Very unfair to them! Would have been tied to desperately needed Wall.
