WASHINGTON House Democrats are putting forward a new proposal to end the government shutdown, aiming to lure President Donald Trump away from his demand for a border wall by offering billions of new dollars for other border security measures.
The offer is a possible path toward a compromise even though it does not have the money the president wants for building the wall between the U.S and Mexico.
The Democratic proposal is expected to go beyond the $1.6 billion the White House initially requested from Congress for border security, before Trump demanded $5.7 billion for his long-promised wall. The proposal is still being drafted.
Border cameras are no different....the guy is long gone 5 minutes later.
Good points you make.
As time has progressed, despite media efforts to the contrary to keep the pressure on POTUS, the demokraps no wall, open borders position had nothing to do with immigration enforcement by other means. There has been no good faith effort on the part of the demokraps. This offer is nothing but to give cover to the demokraps, that they really care about stopping illegal immigration and if passed will turn to become how they defeated Trump on the wall. If government shutdown goes on long enough, maybe the millenials and others will be educated further about the failed 1986 law to end illegal immigration once and for all, Carter and the Muriel boat lift, and the Clinton’s sticking a gun in the face of Elian Gonzalez to “reunite” him with his family.
I see no reason to give in. Thats my point.
Democrats created this mess and they can clean it up when they want to.
Thats not what theyre ready to do yet in good faith.
The government shutdown hasn’t been as catastrophic as played up. Over a month now, and it is a big fat yawn except in the leftist media. You are right, not time to give in.
Shoot and waste perfectly good ammo? Um.. much more entertaining to hijack them and.. well i will let you use your imagination. Lets just say if a nest security system can be hijacked, why not a drone.
Ok.. if you need some range time, sounds fun.
The prayer rugs is supposedly fake news.
21st century border security they love because its like climate change it doesn’t exist and its a scam
Then relax. Slow Joe will be President in 2021.
The Wall is just a symbol at this point. We are 30 million illegals too late for a wall. Still, it is an important symbol for it represents a will to fight back. So, fact is, we will get a wall because Trump has no reason to relent until there IS a wall. Because with no wall there is no country to protect. So, yes, a Big, Bueatiful Wall is worth fighting to the death over and we WILL fight this fight but we should have our eyes open about it. The Wall is our Ft Sumter and it IS gonna happen.
Actually, we should be so lucky. We are more likely to get a raving socialist/communist who will happily stomp us into the mud and open the borders wide to assure that the Rats will never ever be challenged again by uppity American voters. The Rats are engaged in population replacement and the pace of caravans and other large groups has increased. We are being buried by a human wave.
I wouldn’t mind if she upped this to $8-million and split it 50-50 with wall-money and gadget-money....promising to come back in 2020 with the funding to wrap up the end of the wall business, and more border patrol agents.
Billions have been spent on electronic border experiments and all have failed. They MONITOR traffic, not stop it.
An Alexa stationed every 200 feet?
Translation,21st century technology,sensors from silicon valley so we can get our campaign contribution cut as thousands storm the border,cross the line and demand amnesty.
Sensors will direct buses to the border crossovers location where they will be bussed to DNC headquarters,registered and given their welfare checks,housing vouchers food stamps and talking points about evil racist republicans
yea we have 20 million illegals now, they pour over like ants, say goodbye to America folks
The unions are aiming to make it one with the TSA and IRS, for example. Yet they don’t want to become what the air traffic controllers were to Trump.
“The best electronic surveillance imaginable still cannot physically stop the illegals from crossing the border”
What about a wide “no-man’s land” that is electronically monitored. If it were a mile wide there would be plenty of time for agents to get to a spot where a crosser entered it before they crossed it and entered America.
Perhaps the no-man’s land could be between two walls.
The last sentence in the first paragraph. I read no further. The entire spiel is nothing but pure propaganda.
