Anyway, the house is failing again. The hardline bill is in the trash and the so-called compromise bill is delayed with little hope of passing.
Nope. Just another example on your part as to how a binary mind works. If someone says a wall would help be a big help toward the effort, you hear them saying it will stop all immigrants. Again, you start getting dizzy once an issue involves more than one factor. You should stick to your day job putting caps on toothpaste.
Right, the wall is not a cure all. In fact it is a giant waste of money and will have little to no impact.
On another note, what is this? I generally have a soft spot for poor Melania but this is tone deaf to wear as she is visiting a child holding center.
Too many people jumping the border to deal with in the court system is the definition of an invasion. We spend hundreds of billions of dollars on defense to defend the borders of Afghanistan, Iraq, South Korea and dozens of other countries. For some reason we cannot defend our own border however, despite the fact much of it is open terrain with a river marking it. They even sent Nat. Guard troops there but apparently gave them nothing to do How freakin' difficult is it to put troops along the border? The sight of them will deter fence jumpers. And please no one say we can't do that because it violates posse comitatus. They are guarding the border, a core military function. Trump really needs to get serious about this.
I don’t know, putting kids in cages seems pretty serious to me. As to the military, they certainly can defend the border but only against other military forces and the like. Immigration and borders has its own jurisdiction of law. Trump can declare martial law if he wants the military to take on law enforcement responsibilities.
I agree, and although the "Trump Wall" will have, as you say, little impact on the problem of refugees coming across our border, it could have a negative impact in terms of our relations with our neighbors that could be quite costly in the end. There are far better long range solutions to the problem of desperate refugees seeking asylum in the U.S. than "a Wall". It's a very dumb idea.
Again, the binary mind has only two choices: It either works to take care of everything or has little to no impact. Situation normal. Your approach to all issues.
What you mean to say is that it seems pretty serious to you when Trump is in office but not when Obama was in office.
Holy crap...are you kidding me? How dumb do you have to be to wear a jacket like this going to visit kids at a detention center? I'm flabbergasted. The optics alone in this theater - what were her people thinking? What was she thinking?
