    Trump's shutdown is now estimated, according to Trump, to cut half a point from the GDP in 1Q in 2019.

    Give a link where Trump stated that. Economists within the Administration may have. If Democrats are so committed to open Borders that they think they can strangle the economy, well, should we give in these kinds of threats? I don't think so. We are already into the fight with the Open Borders Democrats, I think they will be surprised at just how resilient the Economy is.

    The economists you cite, what is their current projection for first quarter growth?

    Angel Moms -- Parents of Children Slain by Illegals -- Protest in Nancy Pelosi's Office; Pelosi Refuses to Even Meet with Them

    Meet with American citizens over their concerns? What an outdated idea. The only people whose concerns matter to the modern Democrat party are foreigners, preferably those breaking US laws.

    "It's a slap, it's a stab, it's a kick in the gut, in the groin," Sabine Durden, whose son Dominic was struck dead in 2012 by an illegal alien, said of Pelosi's and other Democrats' decision not to meet with Angel Mothers.​

    At @SpeakerPelosi office asking for a meeting for Angel Families. She was too busy to meet with them. #AngelFamilies #AngelMoms

    10:58 AM - Jan 15, 2019

    Democrats in their mad thirst to suck in all the illegals, see all these rapes and murders as perfectly acceptable collateral damage.

    Apparently Chuck Schumer was also "too busy" to meet with them:

    Angel Moms storm Chuck Schumers office — Washington, DC, United States

    pscp.tv

    Below, a video report on the protest and Nancy Pelosi being "too busy" pandering to foreigners to meet with US citizens, interviewing Angel Mom Agnes Gibney, herself a legal immigrant, and a second video of Angel Mom Sabine Durden, also herself a legal immigrant, holding up a small urn containing the ashes of her murdered son and noting that her son's ashes prove that this isn't a "manufactured crisis."

    She also wants Democrats to build the wall.



    Democrats can run, but they can't hide.



    These Moms are exercising their final measure of devotion to their children who where needlessly slaughtered by Open Borders Democrats. Their deaths cannot be in vain, the border must be secured to protect other children from this same Democrat sanctioned slaughter.

    Lara Loomer and some documented Americans vaulted over The Wall protecting Nancy Pelosi's fiefdom-sized property and set up a Sanctuary Lawn.

    You're not going to believe this, but Nancy Pelosi or one of her many, many servants called the police on them.

    How very strange.

    I thought walls were immoral and All Were Welcome.

    Several freshman Democrat members of the new House of Representatives majority have turned on Speaker Nancy Pelosi in her steadfast refusal to fund President Donald Trump’s planned wall along the U.S. border with Mexico and are instead seeking for Democrats to cut a deal on the wall with Trump.

    What deal do you think they can make with Trump that doesn't fund border security?

    AN IMPORTANT REMINDER: Dear Shutdown Alarmists, the Economic Growth Already Happened.

    “Governments can’t stimulate economic growth with spending; rather their spending is only possible because of economic growth. Applied to the partial shutdown of the federal government, what limits government spending logically cannot limit economic growth. Figure that if there were a permanent cessation of a quarter of federal activity, the result would be trillions worth of extra resources for private actors to put to work.”​

    A man can dream.

    Lol...A trump supporter can suffer delusions.
    You people better hope that the shutdown isn't a big hit on the economy, since trump's economy is pretty weak and can't take much of a hit.
