Having a bed shortage for violent illegal aliens sounds like another good reason to declare a national emergency.

Trump will have to protect the homeland the hard way without Chuck and Nancy’s help.

Exactly , the Shelby the Cheap,labor express stooge and his fellow traitors want to create a limit on the beds .
They should be hung .

These Rhinos probably spun these phony stalemate story to fool everyone .
Like its good thing when its a CAVE and a bigger disaster for Americans .

We currently can build as many beds as we want .
Once this law , thousands get released every day fir the Koch Bros and

The cheap labor express wants dumb cheap labor and the bed-limit
was a set up

Shelby should be tarred fir this sell out .

No, 40K was the bed quota for 2018 and will remain unchanged.

As a practical matter, today ICE just declares an emergency and blows by the quota and that practice will probably continue.

From what I can tell the Dems were trying to turn the quota into a hard cap and failed.

We need a new party not labor .
Rhinos fold and 10,000 let lose every day now .and no money .


Yep. The GOP is not reformable. When we “win” with POTUS the progressive GOPers just jump into bed with the Democrats to nullify our votes rather than support the agenda they were elected to enact.

The sooner everybody understands that the GOP is corrupted to the core by the open borders lobby the better.

What is bollard fencing?

We want a Wall, not a fence that is usually used around the sides of the sections of a miniature golf course.
Don’t toy with us after all ours waiting and loyalty.

Relax. The President is holding a rally and doesn’t know the specifics. (He said this) Let’s wait for his reaction before throwing ourselves off a ledge.

I’d wager money the fine print has more poison pills than even the limit on detention space. Guaranteed it will have restrictions on what kind and where barriers can be built tying the President’s hands. Veto it, and force the RINOS’s to override.

Hasn’t Mulvaney been kept involved? I thought he was.

Don’t sign this bill with a lower cap on ICE detention beds.

Walk away.

Thanks for the info.

I don’t care about the beds-—I want a big hard Wall.

Fix was in as soon as McConnell picked open borders the “negotiators.” Dems were negotiating with themselves.

Just saw this:

The concessions I don’t think are worth it. Is being able to stand in front of a 55mi joke worth the 2020 photo op? If anything I think signing this turd sandwich weakens his hand at a national emergency. SCOTUS will likely tell him just to go back to Congress like he did the first time.


GOP doesn’t want a wall either. And are hoping he loses in 2020. POTUS is playing a very weak hand here.

My understanding is that they would have to release the illegals into America instead of holding them because they don’t have enough beds.

You just shoot those in the beds to make way for the next wave.

‘In private, Republicans responded with a plan that would exempt many detained immigrants from the cap, including those people either charged with or convicted of crimes, including misdemeanor drug offenses and violent felonies. That, in turn, was rejected by Democrats.’

We need to finish draining the GOP swamp if we are ever going to stop illegals from coming here.


The GOP doesn’t want a wall and never will because the big donors don’t want it. The sooner Patriots accept that and move on the better.

This agreement allows for 55 miles of a bollard fence.

This is a bollard fence:

Because less beds means they can’t hold as many people and when they can’t hold the person they get released into the our country before any civil court proceeding

“For what possible reason would the Democrats want to reduce jail space for illegals? “

basics: they want them live free in the USA.
