Trump never said Mexico would give us a check for the wall.

Now grow up Trump haters. Maybe make up a few more little school girl names for Trump supporters. That shows your mentality.

Nobody's buying it.
It's obvious the Democrats care more about fiscal responsibility than the Republicans do.

Ever notice how every time the GOP is in control they blow a hole in the budget? Every, single, time.

Conservatives should just shut up about fiscal responsibility. It makes you look stupid that you are unaware of how un-fiscally responsible your own party is.

Democrat's don't embrace the evil of racist hate groups, and Democrats don't have a vindictive racist agenda nor do we see a mass of Democrats being posted on line "doing racist spews", or Democratic people using racism in commercial establishment and calling the police on people who are minding their own business.

Jim Crow ideology and conduct as is evident by the Right Wingers and their Racism will not get to repeat the era of Jim Crow white nationalism and white privilege.... to be able to use the police to harass and be vindictive against non white people.

You are correct Democrats will pay with their votes at the Polls and with that payment of voice and vote, they will stamp out the march of this Republican Madness.
Yeah and the Left is branded as being bad because it is the opposite of the party of exclusion, fear mongering and hate.

A dark Christmas tree in Washington DC is an apt imagine for the GOP to consider.

Why do you keep constantly leaving out the fact that the $25 billion was to be funded over a 10 year period only giving Trump a little over a billion the first year and that's why he turned down the deal? I have corrected you several time on that! So what are you doing?

Trump was offered $25 billion for additional border security. He didn't take it because he would have to make a deal for DACA, even though both Dems and Republicans agreed on it. He wants a solid wall so he can point to it and say it's his wall. He couldn't care less about border security. If he did, he would take whatever money was available and put it toward technology and whatever else has been suggested to him to enhance border security. There is not a Dem out there who wants open borders and illegals pouring in.

Who does the GOP supposedly hate and exclude? What "irrational" fear are you speaking of?

Utter nonsense and lies! Trump was never offered the $25 billion in one lump sum in exchange for the
DACAs. Why do you keep twisting this? Trump was willing to give them the DACAs if they gave him the $25 billion all at once not over a 10 year period which could be voted down with a new president down the line, especially if they were a Democrat.


He has had protypes built. He will choose which one works best. It could be a solid wall or a see through one. He is leaning towards a steel post one with spikes on the top. How can you say he isn't interested in border security when he campaigned on it and has been fighting for it every since he took office? He even let the government shut down over it. He has to take an inferior deal to prove it now? It just goes to show how strongly he wants it when he's not going to settle for what won't completely secure the border for years!


We already tried this high tech stuff a few years ago and we had to scrap it because it had so many flaws in it. It was a waste of our tax dollars. You're not really well informed on this issue, are you?


Maybe if the actions of the Dems spoke louder than their words then we'd believe that they don't essentially want open borders.

Oldglory,

I accept your point on the $25b. I am just tired of the ridicule leveled at the Left because the left adopts strange positions like

Multicultural acceptance is good
Empowering women is good
LGBT deserve rights too
Health care for as many as possible is better than no healthcare

And no

Abortion is not going to be made illegal again.

I see the wall fight as not really being about the wall at all. Rather it is a fight by the GOP to hold to core supporters who are very much against some of the values expressed by the Left.

Wrong, Trump repeatedly said Mexico will pay for the wall. Not tax payers will pay for the wall and Mexico will pay us back through better deals. Do we need to post all the videos of Trump saying who will pay for the wall?
