Fewer beds means more get released into our country quicker... then they can vote.


Yep. That’s the real “garbage” here. Time to redeploy federal LE assets to where they are wanted. Let California drown in illegals.

He should sign it. Take what Congress appropriated and then declare the emergency to build the rest. Genius.

Graham said they will not get the 5b so trump will take what he can get and reprogram defense money for the rest.

Shelby announced this deal because he is an a hole chamber of com stooge.


Sounds like Shelby started negotiating at $2 billion. Utter scum. How sad for the Party of Lincoln to end like this.

Why are we capping the number of convicted criminals we will detain?
Why are we pretending that the Republicans care about us anymore?
/////////////////////////////
I am not condoning or promoting violence.

I am now saying if the deal reduces the total number of felons to detain and thus makes the ICE people relax on enforcement, then it is worse than before.

Thus, some illegals might be found with hands tied, face down, deceased. Why? Because frustrated Americans may take action to stop the spread to children of deadly diseases, the rapists, the home invaders, and the Dem illegal voters from walking through their formerly quiet neighborhoods with impunity.

Such violence comes when law enforcement breaks down (as Old West without a sheriff 1930s bootleggers beyond police control and runaway 1950s city gangs).

Taxpayers will get increasingly higher property taxes and school taxes for the hordes of unrestrained illegals increasing due to no enforcement. That’s what the Soros and Obama types want.

To end this vigilantism there has to be enforcement and a Wall. No other way to prevent this.

It’s not 55 miles of a wall, it’s 55 miles of cemente sticks about 5 feet high.

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.


There should be no quota. Did ICE declare an emergency under Obama?

We have no law to limit on building beds right now unless disaster gets rammed thru .
Then there is a actual limit .

We have 49,000 by the way.

We got screwed and Shelby wanted this limit for the Koch Bros crowd .

He will sign it. The 5.7 bill included many border items. Trump broke it down. Trump wanted a piece of that for a barrier....wall....fence....whatever the hell you want to call it.

That’s what I told my wife earlier tonight. If you’re out of beds, the overflow goes to the graveyard. When you invade a sovereign nation, you take some life and death risk.

What are we going to do after Trump's eight years are finished, except lose the country to the rats and the rinos?

Time for a third party. No more imported rat votes, no more cheap labor for the Chamber of Commerce assholes.

Just shut it all down, and stand up a third party that will cause schism in both the Feedle-dee and Feedle-dum parties, as some guy back in the 60's called them.

If it leads to... incivility, so be it.

These can keep people out of the sides of a miniature golf course. On a southern border, not so good.

Illegals on skateboards can zoom right through to the Dem voter registration tables. Ones with limos and buses will have to get out and walk. Inconvenient. They may sue-—and win.

Who blinked?

This is no more than what Pence and Kushner were reportedly ready to do before the shutdown—until the House GOP intervened. Now of course the House GOP is in the minority.

The Gope senate set this up from day one .

This deal puts us in a worse situation .

It creates a law thst limits the Invader holding beds .
We can not build any more detention centers .
We have to release more and more invaders fir the cheap labor express and the Dem voting machine .

Once they set the precedent for funding the wall their “moral” arguments against it evaporate.

Trump can get more money. It’s getting the Democrats to acquiesce on the wall that’s going to haunt them.
