Is making it harder and harder to win anything in 2020.
It was a longshot as it sits before the shutdown, but they are stupidly shooting themselves in the foot e very single day that insist on this petty obstructionist nonsense. Why dont they see that?
The term “criminal alien” refers to aliens who have been convicted of one or more crimes, whether in the United States or abroad, prior to interdiction by the U.S. Border Patrol; it does not include convictions for conduct that is not deemed criminal by the United States. Arrests of criminal aliens are a subset of total apprehensions by U.S. Border Patrol.
17 criminal aliens are caught at the border....DAILY folks....what about those that slip through?
The Bottom Line: Walls Work. When it comes to stopping drugs and illegal aliens from crossing our borders, border walls have proven to be extremely effective. Border security relies on a combination of border infrastructure, technology, personnel and partnerships with law enforcement at the state, local, tribal, and federal level. For example, when we installed a border wall in the Yuma Sector, we have seen border apprehensions decrease by 90 percent. In San Diego, we saw on Sunday that dilapidated, decades-old barriers are not sufficient for today’s threat and need to be removed so new – up to 30 foot wall sections can be completed.
Probably don't see it, because that is not the reality.
It seems highly unlikely, illogical and improbable that this would hurt the Dems more than Trump.
Sixty percent of the country does not want the wall and especially not a $5 billion wall at all. Seventy-five percent of the country does not want the government shut down over a wall.
Seems the people are with the Dems, and over half of the country blames Trump for the shut down. Trump is going to be giving a very unconvincing SOTU if he has to give it during a shutdown of his own making.
And we can stop pretending it's the Dems fault. Trump has made deals and welshed so many time--nobody even believes him. His word is definitely not his bond. He is not a man of honor. He is also a total nutjob--that does not help.
Oh please--it is t he dems fault--since for the last year, they have delayed border wall funding, continually kicking the can down the road 4 times. There is no reason whatsoever not to fund it. Its not an issue of money..it never was..its just a battle of wills
Nancy controls the House by a healthy margin and has all her folks in a row. Mitch has a 3 (4 counting the VP)seat advantage in the Senate and has already lost 2 votes- Gardner and Collins. If Murkowski goes along it will be down to a VP tie break. At the moment Dems have more leverage. I assume Tillis, Ernst or another Senator who is up in 2 years will peel away. To be honest this is probably the moment McBath wishes she wasn't given the Arizona Senate seat to wrap herself in Trumpian policies before facing the very voters who rejected her once already.
That's what I think the Democrats have to focus more on talking points.
Trump does not have all his Senate on his side. I know it isn't much but it is worth reminding voters that it isn't just Democrats that don't support Trump's agenda/tactics.
You're in Alexandria. So many of you who live there are far removed from the deleterious effects of illegal immigration. It's easy for you to claim that illegals don't cost us any money when you live in an ivory tower and don't have a clue
What do you see in your town that looks like a "national emergency"? And don't quote the $100 billion figure we've seen a thousand times already. But what do you see with your own eyes, in your own town, in your own neighborhood. Because if you want to change people's minds about the wall you're going to need to point to something tangible to convince them there's a "national emergency". The bogus $100 billion figure your side bandies about don't cut no ice.

No, it is the republicans fault. They had control of the presidency and BOTH houses of congress, and they STILL couldn't get a wall funded. If they can't get a wall funded while they had 100% control, what makes anybody think they could or should be able to get a wall funded with only 2/3 control?
Does he think he's going to get a full $5B and not offer anything to the dems?
You do know how negotiations work..............................right?
Yes he has. He agrees to allow 800,000 families to remain in their homes during winter. He agrees to allow pregnant women to continue to receive health services. He agrees children will continue to be fed.
Trump behaves as the enemy of Americans in America.
Congress knows he is full of it trying to convince America where the danger to their lives can be found.
They k how the Country is at great risk under Trump. They are uniting for America s safety.
Why? ...
Watch what he does and the lies he and his band of traitors spread.
He removes security at the historically primary point of entry of terrorists
that have historically attacked the United States. He is intentionally diluting services to the weakest and most vulnerable Americans in America...and they are those who have chosen to work in jobs that help secure and improve the quality of life for Americans in America. Trump punishes them.
Who is Trump paving thethem.for? ...to enter America through our airports?
What kind of a deal does he have with our historically present terrorist nation? A war or terrorist attack is a sure fire way to hang on to his job and/ or get relected...while continuing to reap the personal benefits to his family.
Support. efforts to protect America from Donald Trump.

"100% control"? Are you insane? there are NO Dems in the senate? all 100 senators are republicans?

They won't ever because Mexico will never pay for a Wall.
