Lawmakers in Alabama are pushing to give taxpayers the option to donate a portion or all of their state income tax return to the president's cause.

As President Donald Trump struggles to get the necessary funding to build a border wall along the southern border of the United States, legislators in Alabama are working to give taxpayers the option to donate to the president’s cause.

On Tuesday, a Senate committee in Alabama voted in favor of a bill that would add nonprofit We Build the Wall Inc. to a list of organizations taxpayers could donate their tax refund to.

State Senator Shay Shelnutt explained to Times Daily that he supported the bill because his constituents support the border wall and State Senator Garlan Gudger said the bill gives taxpayers the freedom to choose which organization they want to donate to.
