If they wish to, they are free to.

I respect Employment At Will. I respect the right of a potential POTUS veto, a Senate rejection of a House Bill, a House rejection of a Senate bill.

If I were as hung up on it as you, I would want a House CR with substantial wall funding in it, but less than 5 billion. A compromise around the middle would likely be acceptable to all.

It;s just their hate for Trump that drives them.
The Dems in the present want a secure border too. The Dems in the present want a secure border too. The Dems in the present want a secure border too. How many times does that have to be said?

(Disclaimer: I realize it is not all on the left who are against this wall. When I say "the left", what I really mean is "the socialist pukes who are trying to ruin this country".)
Good lord where did it come from that the “left” doesn’t want border security?? That’s never been said. What’s being sad is spending $5 billion on a wall that will spend decades to build makes no sense. Most illegals are here from over staying their visas, not crossing the border.

Change “sniveling” to “sniffling,” and you could be Stephen Miller giving Trump a pep talk before the big speech.

There was a compromise and agreement between Congress and Trump a few weeks ago. Then he walked away.

I think Pelosi should have stayed away from the 'wall isn't who we are' comment, but I thought Schumer's 'Statue of Liberty not a wall' point may have been a good move.

Days after this started, both sides said another deal can be reached. Its most likely gonna take 2-3 bill for more barriers, fencing, walls, whatever.

Until then, I am content with the shutdown continuing.
