President Trump has received support from Lindsey Graham over a government shutdown, renewing the call to trade DACA for the Wall. The Washington Examiner reports:
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., hailed President Trump Tuesday for his efforts to extract extra funding from Congress to bolster border security, despite the looming threat of a partial government shutdown.
“Great job sticking to your guns on border security, Mr. President!” Graham tweeted Tuesday after Trump clashed with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, the top two Democrats in Congress, in a fiery Oval Office meeting held partly in front of the press.
“You are right to want more border security funding including Wall money. They are WRONG to say no. Put DACA on the table and make them say NO to the Wall and DACA,” Graham wrote, referring to the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Trump is asking Congress to approve $5 billion in border wall funding before a Dec. 21 deadline for a new spending measure. Congressional Democrats, however, are unwilling to consent to more than $1.6 billion in what they call border security, with Pelosi explicitly ruling out money for a wall along the southern border with Mexico.
The DACA-Wall trade deal has already been offered by Republicans. Now that Democrats will be in the House majority, they will bear more blame if the government shuts down. Will they be willing to sacrifice DACA just so they can spite Trump and refuse wall funding?
We need to put a wall along the Rio Grand, that extends north from the state line of Arizona, and follows up the state line of California. that way, The bitch can route all her beloved illegals into her state,and coddle them there. the rest of the (still) united states can continue to keep them at bay, if they cannot come through LEGALLY !
The answer to the question you posed is yes! They don’t give a dam about the country only about the power!
GREAT IDEA!
Look I ama citizen of the US, i came to the USA legally 48 years ago . Any one who want to come , to the usa they need to follow the law. Our nation have been robed by Democrats , who are not for the people , but for their own selfish need , the Democrat should be send with the migrants to those country , and take away their citizenship ,. Enough is Enough .
Pelosi and Schumer should be deported..
Pelosi and Schumer should be deported.
No immigration laws. No control over who is allowed entry into our country. Can anyone imagine what it would be like if all the people in the world who want to relocate to the United States were allowed to come and resettle here? Can anyone understand how that would affect our society and our economy? Does anyone understand the devastation that would ensue?
“Wall is Immoral” – but how would you be able to control thousands of asylum seekers and economic immigrants? As we have experienced, nobody is willing to engage in any logical conversation.
1. You could increase the border patrol staffing and electronic surveillance
2. But that would not stop the flow, particularly the drug trafficking and human smuggling
3. As long as the entry to the USA is perceived to be easy, more will come and take their changes
4. Now once they (Central Americans) are on the US soil, we would have to process each immigrant and review their asylum claims – huge increase in staffing
5. Where would we retain (house, feed, medicate, educate) these thousands of ‘applicants’ – now they are released to the country with a future court date – exactly what they were looking for
6. Only 20% or so will ever show up for the court date months or even years later, and only 1% of the asylum seekers will actually qualify
And that at WHAT COST – house, feed, medicate, educate – not to mention legal (incl. translation services) and prison expenses, as well as the exposure of the US citizens (school children particularly) to already radiated deceases.
An issue nobody is talking about – displacement of the lower skilled Americans in the workforce.
The wall is not immoral. A country needs borders. All these low lives want to come to the US to suck the tit of the American welfare cow for life. We need to look after only American citizens. Our veterans and senior citizens need to be cared for we don’t need to provide for violent illegal aliens. All illegal aliens including DACA need to be deported. American kids need to dream, not illegals. I waited on a quota system for 5 years to come to the US and had to have a clean slate and no diseases and they can do the same. If they can’t support themselves and their family, they shouldn’t be allowed in, no free loaders!
Graham finally started acting like a Senator after McLame checked out and his eloquent “rebuttal” at Judge Kavanaugh’s Inquisition.
Why Is It That The Democrats Don’t Want Our Borders Closed When We Want It CLOSE
The Democrats need open borders to stay in power. They need power to push their Communist-Socialist agenda.
There are 158 million people from Australia, Japan, and all over Europe who want to come to this country. They are tired of socialism and would be welcomed republicans. How do the communist democrats (Pelosi and Chucky boy) like that thought? Build the dam wall. Castro emptied his prisons, during the Cuban misscle crisis, put them on aboard and shipped them here. That is what Mexico and the others are doing to get rid of non contributing garbage.
WHO are THEY to blatantly “rule” AGAINST the American CITIZENS…..AND since WHEN are we being “RULED”, we are supposed to have a GOVERNMENT and NOT “Mussolini-style DICTATORSHIP”….I am referring to pelosi here – born in Italy…..NOBODY should “care” about members of the “bilderberg CARTEL”, in fact, they need to be REMOVED….ALL of THEM……ASAP…..!!!!
Yes, use the Army Corps of Engineers. Even more, build a military base right on the border. Use the military’s technology (night vision goggles, etc.) and run training missions along the border to track the drug-runners and infiltrators.
A Military base STRETCHED OUT over 2000 miles….put Air Force, Marines, Army, ANYTHING and EVERYTHING there, could also HELP “stop” the TUNNELS….Just think/imagine they “tunnel” themselves right into an Army Post or Air Force Base….!!!!!!
Great idea.
Andy, yes GREAT IDEA’s use the Army Corps of Engineers. Like the idea of a military base on the border.
How about we use the Army Corp of Engineers and build the wall. Democrats continue to speak from both sides of their mouths. They talk border security but to them is leaving the gapping holes or no fence areas that invites illegals to cross with ease. It’s like leaving the side gate open on your home where intruders can walk into your back yard
