    Nope here are the facts not your made up scenarios which are of no interest to me.

    The Democrat leadership can by providing the funding to do it, opening the government, by including the .009% of the budget they are refusing to even negotiate or compromise as Trump has been trying to do. Instead the are holding the entire thing hostage over it along with our border security and putting the government workers back to work and getting their paychecks,

    We know better how to build them and how to use them which is why one of Obama's own Chief of Customs and Borders says they work and we need more. Why there is overwhelming support for more by the experts in the field.

    I believe it’s 1.5 billion.
    Passed with bipartisan support.

    mitch is the one holding the government hostage. Removing a single member of congress and government opens the next day congress is in session. The ‘president’ isn’t even needed as they have the votes to override his veto.

    Haha, that’s hilarious that you believe your source remains unrefuted because you are too special to click a link. You really don’t see how pathetic that is do you?

    mitch is the obstruction due to trump.
    I hope the 800,000 governmental employees remember this come Election Day — and pollings look like they will.

    Again, if this was such a national emergency why wasn’t this dealt with almost two years ago?

    No it is the DEMOCRATS who refused to negotiate, compromise or even discuss it. .009% of the budget for the necessary increase in border security all because they think it helps them politically to deny it.

    No that was just the already budgeted amount for border security, the Democrats have been quite clear not 1 penny for walls/fences/barriers.

    So Trump has come down in his request how much have the Democrats come up. What has been their counter offer in this negotiation process?

    They have passed the same bill the Republican senate has passed which mitch is now refusing to floor. There doesn’t need to be a negotiation.

    One member is holding the government hostage to protect the pathetic ‘president’ because he isn’t man enough to do it himself.
