There's another border crash caravan on it's way and Trump now can say he did everything he could do to negotiate...he has no choice now, the demsare playing politics.


BTW why is it we only ever hear the term bipartisan when it's a Dem president?
The House and Senate passed a bill and sent it to Trump. How is that not bipartisan?

What happened with the last caravan? Did they get thru?

It’s amazing how Trump and the media go crazy on caravans when needed and then we never hear from then again until needed.

Trump properties are hiring illegals. The same hypocrites that are using this as a political tool are padding their pockets breaking the law.

He also kept going on and on about HOW important this issue was, clearly, that was inaccurate too, its only been 35 days and he caved.


The best thing about this imo (now that I no longer support Trump), its clear to everyone how to beat him in the future, we know now his word means nothing.
Sad thing, it also shows there are no more heroes in our government anymore for the working class Americans.

Pelosi refused to negotiate and said "not until the gov't is reopened", Trump reopened the gov so people would get paid and to negotiate. Nancy was NOT concerned about people getting paid. It was her way or no way.

The only people who won are illegal immigrants. Let's see what Nancy does now.

If someone was offering me an opportunity to make a better living, I'm going to take it if I am in the position of those coming here.

Nobody is attempting to stop anyone from hiring these people. Until someone does that, I support the continuing chaos.

If politicians of both parties are OK with the hiring of illegals, what do you expect us to do?
