The Republicans control both houses - a border security bill should have been ready to drop in the hopper on the first day of this session, and passed by both houses within the month!

It is INEXCUSABLE that we don’t already have this - and it is Ryan’s and McConnell’s fault. These 2 need to get off of their asses and actual do something...because Nancy will never do squat.

Right on target!

But the problem is - as has been the case for at least a decade - that too many in the GOP in both the House and the Senate are puppets of big business lobbying groups who finance them. And they've been told by their handlers to support amnesty for illegals and no border walls. Then, too, to get a border wall passed in the Senate, you need some 'Rat votes because of the filibuster rule, one might think.

Hello?

Were you paying attention when he met with Pelosi and Schumer?

Trump needs 60 votes in the Senate. He can barely get the 50 he needs when it comes to a confirmation vote. How do you think he could have gotten 60 votes for border security?
