    See EGO's post #213 in this thread

    McConnell wont bring it to a vote because it will make him look foolish that he cant control his own caucus. Nothing more, nothing less

    Nor can the Dems. No wall was kinda the point of the Midterm for them. Trump isn't going to win this, either Romney deposes McConnell and forces a vote to reopen the government or the shutdown goes on so long the US collapses and Trump goes down in history as the idiot who ran the US into the ground.

    Arizona Sheriff’s Association: It is apparent to anyone who looks that the immigration crisis has reached a critical juncture.

    You seem upset by that scenario which is exactly why I hope Trump pulls something like this off.
    Clean-up, aisle one.

    Because she looks like a liar and a fool. She also looks like she is trying to discourage the President from giving the SOTU, which would cause reasonable people to wonder "why?"

    The Secure Fence Act. Fencing and Walls. Did you forget the Demos touting how around San Diego that it prevented illegal entry by 95%? Or were the Democrats lying back then?

    Oh and barriers also cut crime.

    In 2005 and 2006, before the border fence, most of the crime in the community was committed by illegal aliens, drug traffickers, and human smugglers, said Bratcher.

    You are hoping that Trump attempts to explicitly violate the US Constitution then.

    That looks like a reason to make crossing the border safer, not harder.

    Yep as soon as the House GOP funded the wall and the Senate Demos had to filibuster to prevent McConnell from taking the bill to the floor. The Demos get the blame for the shutdown. Now Pelosi refusing to negotiate. Demos own it outright.

    Not accurate.

    The White House was bombarded by calls from his supporters.

    If Democrats similarly lit up Pelosi's and Schumer's switchboards, they'd change their position too.

    She quit citing her letter after she went before the cameras and said what she did. The letter is nothing more than deflection by the Leftness.

    I have the video up as to what she exactly said before the cameras. The Left looks to deny reality.

    Yep its on the Demos. Even CNBC says for the Demos its a just a political ploy by Democrats. Like Hugh Hewitt said.....the Demos have stepped on a rake. A Very Sharp one.

    Try again.....I complained when he wanted to give DACA a pathway to citizenship. They don't need citizenship to live in the country legally. No reason to give them the Right to vote.

    Now if all these illegals were voting Republican. The Demos would be having conniption fits and would do everything to prevent the illegals from coming in.

    Then bottomline they are refusing to negotiate. Placing a condition on an opportunity to negotiate puts that into reality of refusing to negotiate.

    We already saw the Democrats freely choose not to negotiate the issue before the shutdown. How could afterward possibly be different?

    I think that you're making an absurd argument.
