Trump didn’t get a wall, but he did get a cave.

I'm so glad that Democrats are concerned about wasteful government spending all of the sudden...

Republicans haven't been concerned about that for decades

Neither party has. They love to shove their little pet projects through but complain when the other party does the same.

The difference being that dems aren't trying to pass tax cuts they can't pay for and leaving the tab to future generations

Did you do one for if we were not paying for illegal alien's health care, education, food stamps, prosecuting their crimes (violent ones plus the court procedings for their fake amnesty claims), cost of identity theft associated with illegal aliens, etc?

You have to balance that with the money saved.

I'm particularly interested in what dollar value you will place on the lives of the people who aren't murdered, killed, maimed or injured by illegal aliens through the crimes they commit.

You jest, eh? These puddly little tax cuts are nothing compared to the billions of dollars illegal immigration costs our country. Logic is a good thing, use it.

An exercise in the 'false dilemma fallacy.' That we can have (say) a wall or a bridge, but not both.

Even worse in this case there is an argument to be made here that a wall could save money by reducing the number of illegal immigrants collecting government benefits. So there is a double fail.

When are progressives going to figure out that mass-immigration is destructive of progressivism? The Swedes are starting to figure that out.

Why don't progressives seem to understand that unrestrained immigration is inimical to progressivism?

$6 billion dollars is nothing. Again... Boston's big dig project was $24.3 billion dollars to depress the elevated interstate highway cutting through the city. And who needs that green space anyway? IMO they should have kept the elevated expressway for those passing through AND built the additional underground lanes for the local traffic.

And what about we stop educating and feeding the children of illegals? That would save us way more money.
