You are too stupid for words. Only a dumb ass like you would claim the Democrats are against border security and be serious saying it.
We can pull up all the bills supported by Dems that contain border security funding and similar to GOP desires. However, the Cheetoh gets everyone all worked up about a $5 billion dollar wall and you all think it is the Golden Answer. We show you stats that say most illegals are visa overstays who don't cross the Southern Border but come in legally. We need better tracking systems. We show you stats that show you most drugs also come in through ports of entry no hidden in the anus of people running through the desert. We show you videos of technology catching many people climbing over the walls getting caught...because of the technology which needs to be added and improved. We need a lot of work in those areas. But some of you are so fixated that we need a big WALL across 2000 miles as THE way to stop illegals and drugs from coming in you ignore everything else. You become so fixated on the WALL that anyone who tries to tell you that improving infrastructure at points should be part of the package but not a coast to coast wall at 4 times the annual funding is for OPEN BORDERS. You were scammed by Trump and won't admit it. Trump got many of you fixed to the WALL and ignored all the other facts so you were fine shutting down the government for 35 days and still chant about a WALL as the ANSWER and that everyone else wants illegals pouring over the unprotected line in the desert. Let us not forget that caravans of people were stopped at our border due to walls and personnel already in place, albeit improvements are always welcome. Let us not forget you all believed Mexico would pay for the WALL so you were fine with the billions being discussed. Not that we have to pay for it, suddenly we are all anti-border. So before coming back with a biased retort, listen to what I am saying. Any bill that includes detailed Border Security will pass the House and Senate. Any bill with Trump's Wall as THE answer at a cost of billions is just an ego driven demand without actual sense. I know this is too long.... That's what she said....
Arguably we have shifted from an obsession with having a wall to an obsession with not having any wall anywhere anytime now. Trump's original 25 billion dollar wall is now being dickered as a 5.7 billion dollar wall and that still is not low enough for the dems. Recall that Pelosi said she would not even spend a dollar.
I'm not sure everyone believed Mexico would pay for the wall, but i do believe everyone thought the Trump would get a wall in place, and would have already completed that. Honest people who pay attention know and have always known a wall is just something to con the masses into believing the government is doing something of substance when in fact a wall is the easy part. Real reform comes when laws get enforced and that ain't on the plate.
Well i dont think it was the case that it was brought to a lower amount. That is Trump spinning it to make it seem like he came down from $25billion. It was often pushed as a $5 billion wall that he kept asking for. And you are right that we are now in a position of extremes with fully funded wall or no wall at all because the top ransk of each party became children fighting over a toy. That is the problem why we have basically Trump demanding a Wall or nothing and Dems looking like they want open borders and no wall. Neither side started out wanting to sit across a table and come to an agreement because Trump pounded his chest and Chuck/Nancy dug their heels in and federal workers got shafted.
Trump previously offered a deal of 25 billion for the wall in exchange for amnesty for all daca. Most definitely. That deal was kicked around extensively then fell apart and then this watered down deal with less for the wall and less for daca is the latest go-around- that being rejected as well. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/co...cuss-including-daca-wall-negotiations-n956826
OK in 2015 GOP Senators said the Wall estimates are $12 to $15 billion. "I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I'll build them very inexpensively — I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words." 2017 Trumps asks fro $18 billion for his Wall 2017 DHS says it will cost about $21.8 billion to build the Wall. This figures goes up when private land aquisition costs and maintenance are factored in. GAO report said it will cost way more than $15 to $20 billion forecasted due to many items not included in the GOP forecasts. December 2018 Trump said that a wall between the U.S. and Mexico could cost as little as $15 billion and pay for itself in as little as a month, a departure from the $25 billion barrier he once promised would be underwritten by Mexico. BUT Trump then said: "...law enforcement officers are able to deal with efforts by undocumented immigrants to cross into the U.S., even without a wall. Our great people are able to easily handle it," he said. "Without the wall, it gets tougher. But you know what, they still handle it." Then Trump went begging for money: President Trump has asked all Cabinet agencies to find extra money that could be used to build his border wall, the White House said Tuesday. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Mr. Trump has asked all federal agencies “to look and see if they have money that can be used for that purpose.” So without actual factual justification I am perplexed why some of you are supporting $15 to $20 billion minimum to build a wall which you will pay for (tax cuts plus increased spending = increased deficits), not Mexico as promised, and are OK that Trump has backed all the way down to $5 billion for this Wall that he THEN ADMITS is not really needed since border patrol is handling it, but it would help. $25 billion is a lot for something that helps a little. I want to hear something factual about the Wall stopping the 50-60% of illegals or higher percentage of drugs that enter through airports and ports of entry rather than drug mules. Also why not just improve existing facilities rather than build a 2000 mile wall that ladders and tunnels are mocking. This is not an OPEN v. CLOSED border issue, this is a supposed intelligent graduate of Trump University looking to spend billions to address the smallest part of the problem and intelligent voters accepting it without question.
AOC is having a good run- promoting herself quite spectacularly. It will all work well as long as her constituents believe that their congressional seat should be used as a platform for her self-promotion and that cow farts in Wisconsin are more important than the gangs in their neighborhood. No one doubts that she is doing well and will do well- and after all, it's all about her. OR NOT. ...and yes, Tards, this is the New York Post. I wonder if anyone in her district reads the New York Post. Amid her zeal to save the world with the Green New Deal, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ignored residents in her own Bronx back yard. “I thought AOC would be our savior, but that’s not the case,” complained Roxanne Delgado, a local activist who said she has tried for months to get in touch with the congresswoman for help saving an animal shelter and to clean up parks in the district. https://nypost.com/2019/03/30/her-h...ocs-own-district-turns-against-congresswoman/
