There is nothing in the above^^^^that even discusses border security. Instead, there is drivel like (from the link):
prioritizing immigration enforcement so that it is focused on those with criminal records and doesn’t arbitrarily separate families, and Democrats are fighting to protect that progress.
---------------------------------
First, all illegal aliens are criminals. The term "honest illegal alien" is an oxymoron. Second, no one is "separating families". If the parents are deported, no one is forcing them to leave their children behind. In fact, any decent parents would take their kids with them.
There there is this:
We honor our fundamental values by treating all people who come to the United States with dignity and respect, and we always seek to embrace — not to to attack — immigrants.
----------------------------------------
No one is attacking legal immigrants. What the dems are doing is deliberately blurring the line between legal immigrants and illegal aliens.
No, it's not BS And for the record, a poll just came out that said 74% of Americans want the government to be reopened and have to continue discussions on the budget. That's what the Dems have been proposing all along. I hope Mitch McConnell is listening. I agree that both parties need to pass immigration reform.

don't think the turtle is able to see or hear where his head is right now . I HEAR IT HAS NO SUNSHINE THERE EITHER
Dems are for border security. There are other ways to accomplish that besides an infeasible wall.
Unfortunately, those "other ways" are even less likely to happen than a wall. We haven't even had a serious discussion on them so shifting to them likely means putting everything off for another year, by which time we'll be in campaign season.
What does losing 60% of her coffee shop revenue have to do with a shutdown? No airports have been closed. Air travel isn't down much if at all. Businesses fail all the time but I guess they don't always have a convenient excuse.
Did you comprehend my post? I said she invested in property OUTSIDE a major airport where thousands of federal employees work. They and the contractors and sub-contractors make up most of her customers.
I never said TRAVELERS ate there, Einstein. Most travelers never leave the airport; they stay inside security and buy coffee or lunch.

I'd like to know what airport has thousands of federal employees (not traffic controllers or TSA because they are still working) that are not working. Are all the other businesses just outside that airport closing down, too?
Except for those connecting through, everyone with that destination as an origin or endpoint must pass along the same corridors.
Trump's wall will not provide border security. It will provide no-bid contracts for those associated with his administration which is so corrupt that he is having a difficult time filling key positions with anything but industry lobbyists.
As for Trump having nothing to lose, don't be silly. He has a lot to lose. That's what this whole wall drama is about. He's desperate to hang on to his ignorant base so Republicans don't abandon him to his fate.
I'm talking about the 2000 mile solid wall that Trump wants across the entire border. Yes, that's infeasible.
Sigh...for the umpteenth time --- Trump does NOT want a 2000 mile long wall. The wall will be on 700 miles. There are areas on the border that are impossible to navigate so no wall needed there.
Trump said during the cabinet meeting, “No, not $2.5 billion, no—we’re asking for $5.6.” Democrats have offered $1.3 and $1.6 billion at various times for improving border security, but prohibiting any be spent on Trump’s wall. Trump Rejects Shutdown Compromise Proposed by VP Pence | Fortune
