Most of these Democrats were for a wall and security at one time. Yet all of a sudden dont want a wall and tough immigration?

Is it because:

A: They want reform to make those here illegally, citizens to add to the Democrat voting block?
B: It stirs up their base when it shows illegals (and caravans) trying to come in, and paints Trump as the "Bad Man" with no compassion by not letting them in?
C: They are invested in going against anything and everything Trump wants, even if it would be better for our country, simply because of "Party politics"?
D: They will do whatever they can to stop Trump from getting a "Victory" and keeping another campaign promise?

Any other ones you guys can think of? I cant think of any reason NOT to have a border wall. While it might cost some money, the savings alone will pay for itself within a year. And the possible lives it will save from discouraging people to try and cross is also a huge plus.

In 2006, 26 Senate Democrats — including Charles Schumer, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton — voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which required the Department of Homeland Security to build two layers of reinforced fencing along 700 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border. Is there some profound moral difference between a fence and a wall? Nope....

You understand doing this that the military doesn't get paid. Correct?
Nonsense.

That happened in 2013, when the Senate passed a bill in 2013 ensuring that members of the military would
receive paychecks during the shutdown. All the Senate would need to do re-approve it.

Why ruin a perfectly good liberal talking point.

Don't you dare fucking do it!

The White House suggested Tuesday that President Donald Trump could back down from his
demand for $5 billion to fund his proposed border wall in a year-end spending bill.

Trump's push for the money has threatened a partial government shutdown when funding for
seven agencies lapses after midnight Friday. Last week, the president said he would be "proud"
to close parts of the government over border security.

"We have other ways that we can get to that $5 billion that we'll work with Congress," White
House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox News on Tuesday morning. She added that
the Trump administration could support $1.6 billion in border security funding proposed by Senate
Democrats, as long as it can "couple that with other funding resources" to get to $5 billion.

If Trump backs down he will join a long line of Republican capitulaters. His base will disown him
and he kiss his ass goodbye for 2020. He won election by being a street fighter not a politician.

Democrats send 150 billion to Iran chanting "Death to America," but won't give 5 billion to protect America.

Let that sink in for a minute.

There, that's your campaign message, Mr. President. Don't back down one damn inch!

If you think that's bad? This better be fake news.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The United States pledged $5.8 billion in aid Tuesday for strengthening
government and economic development in Central America, and another $4.8 billion in development
aid for southern Mexico.

The U.S aid aims to promote better security conditions and job opportunities as part of a regional
plan to allow Central Americans to remain in their countries and not have to emigrate.

The plan was announced in a joint U.S.-Mexican statement released by the State Department and read
aloud by Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard in the Mexican capital.

10.6 billion for CA and Mex but no money for a wall? ##)

Illegal immigration costs the United States more than 200 Billion Dollars a year. How was this allowed to happen?

In past week Anorexic Anne and bottle blonde Ingraham have both noted Tiny's repeated lies about "The Wall".

GOP sycophants realizing the "winning" pretty much stopped immediately after Nov 6, 2016

I for one am quite curious as to who they will roll out for 2020.....Equally curious who the DNC will nominate. I confess if it is Biden, Sanders or Warren then the Repubs could well hold the WH for another four years
