    You are just as disconnected from reality as this man. Tell me, what kind of things the bank will ask/demand when you apply for a loan??

    Trump doesn't care.

    When he LOSES in 2020, he will scream voted fraud, have to be dragged kicking and screaming, and try to start WW3 during the lame duck period.

    I am proud to shut down the government for border security!
    I will take the mantle!
    I will be the one to shut it down!
    I’m not going to blame you for it!”

    Trump cultists are, once again, desperately contriving their diversions.

    Meanwhile, one wonders when Rudy began teaching Public Relations classes to the messiah's fart catchers - Do they earn credits at Trump®U?

    trump doesn’t want to do it or he would have done it two years ago. His base is being played like a fiddle. Republicans shut down the government three times in the last 2 years and handed Democrats a shut down government now y’all are trying to scream it’s the Democrats.

    5 billion will not secure the border. 70 billion will most likely not even build a full wall and then they can still swim around or go through checkpoints.

    Some people are not that fortunate.
    They expect a recurring paycheck and budget accordingly. If you have saved 5 grand you are not living paycheck to paycheck, that is the opposite of that phrase.

    I wish this was just the trump administration but the unfortunate truth is DC is massively out of touch with the average American. We will not get rid of such attitudes by simply removing trump, the entire system is broken — trumps minions are just so out of touch they don’t even realize how delusional they are.

    Not, if they're in that bad of shape after missing 2 paychecks and having to consider getting a loan(s). That 5 grand for me is for EMERGENCIES. I don't touch that for daily, weekly, monthly spending. So I still live pacy check to pacy check

    Swimming around it would be more dangerous and difficult, and easier to catch than walking across.

    If you are trying to say there is no way to stop most of the illegal aliens coming in, and there will be more in the future, given the conditions south of our border, then open up the border and let this nation collapse. Turn it into what those people are fleeing. But that is not the nation that most sane americans want. And so we must do something to fix this problem. If all of the poor south of us are allowed in to the US, that is utter insanity. And saying we cannot stop the flow and fix the problem is just as insane. SO, we need to fix it, and the democrats and the repubs don't want to. Only trump and his voters see the need. Unbelievable, to me, as a FDR kinda democrat. If FDR had taken that tact, we would not have social security nor would be have won ww2.

    Which of course is just a lie. Illegals are pouring into the country and we have a crisis at the Southern border that needs to be addressed. We need border security and a wall to prevent the influx of all of the illegals.

    Democrats are against it though, as it would impact their voter database in a very bad way.

    LOL, now you want to write off an entire decade of Americans? How dare we be born in the 70's!

    You guys are funny, really. In one breath Trump voters were all old rich white men. In the next breath all Trump voters are illiterate hillbillies on welfare. Recently someone here was attacking a Trump supporter asking if he was "2 years old". And now "trumpkins" are "from the 70s". C'mon folks, you can do better than this, can't you?

    By the way, what is "out to lunch" about suggesting furloughed federal workers take advantage of special loans currently available and targeting furloughed federal workers?



    Did you even look at the link I posted in my first reply on this thread? I didn't have to read any farther than the first bank to find "Colorado's Alpine Bank has set aside $5 million to help furloughed workers. If you can prove you're an unpaid federal employee, you can get an interest-free loan the same day you apply."

    For your convenience, here is my original post again

    actually it's an easily proven fact.................
    http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/11/28/5-facts-about-illegal-immigration-in-the-u-s/
    we do not have anything even remotely resembling illegals pouring into this country. A wall on the southern border will have no statistical effect on illegal immigration. Most illegals come here legally, and over stay their visas.
    republicans are against it as well, which is why you guys have done **** all about it in 40 years, even when you OWNED the legislative branch and executive branch. Who the **** do you think you're kidding?

    He only hires the best people (not all of whom have yet been convicted, confessed, or resigned in disgrace or disgust.)

    Yep, it is easily proven and they are flooding in daily and have to be stopped. Democrats rely on these illegals for votes so they are happy to support open borders currently, despite the fact that they wanted walls and border security under Obama. What a bunch of hypocrites.

    https://www.dhs.gov/news/2018/06/18/dhs-secretary-nielsens-remarks-illegal-immigration-crisis

    Illegals are illegal and are breaking the law, regardless of how they come in. But they are pouring in and need to be stopped.

    You obviously don't understand how votes work in the Gov't. You need 60 votes.

    Everything you posted is fear mongering.

    Illegal immigration is down

    Illegal border crossings are down

    To shut down the government at this point is nothing but political agenda, why wasn’t this an issue two years ago? A year ago? Why did this suddenly become such a nation ending issue right after Democrats won the house?

    From your link:

    In particular, we need to reform three major loopholes, let me quickly walk you through them. First, we need to amend the 2008 Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act or TVPRA, which is much easier to say – this law encourages families to put children in the hands of smugglers to bring them alone on the dangerous trek northward. And make no mistake, we’ve talked about this before, this trek is dangerous and deadly.

    Second, we need to reform our asylum laws to end the systemic abuse of our asylum system and stop fraud. Right now our asylum system fails to assist asylum seekers who legitimately need it. We are a country of compassion, we are a country of heart, we must fix the system so that those who truly need asylum can, in fact, receive it.

    Third, we need to amend the Flores Settlement agreement and recent expansions which would allow allow for family detention during the removal process – and we need Congress fund our ability to hold families together through the immigration process.


    Zero mentions of a wall or physical barrier that currently has our government shutdown.

    This has been an issue for decades.. We thought it was going to be addressed way back in the 80's but a promise is meaningless when your dealing with D's.

    Trump has been speaking about pretty much since he started his campaign where the hell have you been?

    Yes they are. Why do you think e have a crisis? Even Obama admitted we had a crisis on the Southern border. Facts don't care about your feelings.

    It's what the lower level people working in the private sector do, suck it up -- and they have little chance of another paycheck from their employer.

    The credit unions and banks here are backing the furloughed federal employees -- they know the money is going to be there and the employee can get paid by the bank, and the bank gets repaid when the big delayed check that is certain comes in. No interest or 1% interest, you can't beat that deal.

    Wonder why MSM does not report that.
