    I agree. But when 50% of the country seeks the destruction of the U.S., it's probably the best that can hope for. It will slow our decline as a nation.

    Give them green cards and then they go through the process of naturalization like anyone else, that can take 5 years.

    Oh, she would go for that one. It's Trump that rejects it.
    Well, and Ann Coulter.
    Open the gov't, then talk.

    It's a Democrat shutdown now, they have the offer that can reopen the government tomorrow. The Senate will pass it, the President will sign it, up to them.

    I have zero confidence Trump would do anything. He didn't last time and he had control.

    LOL!

    You forgot that it's the same old horseshit that's not even repackaged. It won't pass the House or the Senate.

    It's Trump's shutdown. He claimed it, he started it, and he can end it by being a non-dolt.

    I'm sure the Dems will be happy to negotiate it in public if that's really what Trump wants. She will simply offer amendments and send it back.
    This is an older poll, but I doubt much has changed.

    The American public has clear-cut opinions on both issues at the center of the current debate on immigration policy. A large majority (74%) favors granting permanent legal status to immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally when they were children, but 60% oppose a proposal to “substantially expand the wall along the U.S. border with Mexico” – a longtime goal of President Donald Trump.

    House Leadership turned down too many offers on DACA, showing they don't care about immigrants only hurting the President and Taxpayers. You Democrat liberal "sheeple" need to fess up, you don't care either. Hope you suffer from your parties refusal to end the shutdown.
    I will refrain from using liberal tactics and not call you the names I would like to.

    IMO, she doesn;t want anything that trump wants, in fear he might actually improve the mess, and get elected again. I think it is as simple as that. Politics over the nation, party over the nation. That has been a prevailing problem.

    Slowing the flood of illegals does nothing for the Democratic Party. Nancy has no incentive to negotiate.

    The Dems have already admitted they're against border security.

    If fact, they scream they're against border security.

    The wacko left demands nothing less.

    Just the opposite.

    Democrats need open borders.

    The Dems are 100% against anything Trump wants period. If he said he changed his mind and doesn't want a wall, the Dems would demand a 60 foot wall.

    I eagerly await McConnell bringing this up for a vote.

    To you, "border security" = "a wall", which is a silly way to constrain the definition of "border security".

    That's a political tact, not a reality-based approach.

    How about we agree to pay for a study on what approaches would work on border security while ending the stupid ****ing government closure?

    They would only be for something that would fail (like Obamacare), or something that could be turned off (like a 'virtual wall').

    The wacko left cannot allow anything good for America.

    There is no massive humanitarian crisis on the border, nor is America overrun with criminal illegal immigrants.
    More Nazi-style propaganda from the liar in chief. Inventing a crisis where there is none. Like Hitler calling all Jews evil. Yeah, that was a real ''crisis''..!

    Oh, and, in case you missed it, he again asked for a 5 billion dollar wall which he won't get.
    And since that is out of the question Trump will quickly return to smashing the table.

    The real crisis is that Trump's shutdown is now smashing up the whole country.

    Trump had an opportunity with his speech to show he is indeed made of human and display the art of reason that will re-open government


    No such chance from some-one who is not even willing to deal with an umbrella...

    We have 4 studies.

    All 4 major solid wall structures curtent in place have reduced illegal entry over 90%.

    Democrats already know walls work. That's why they're against them.

    They have his new offer, ball in their court. If the Democrats want to get the government open again they can agree. But that is not what they want.

    False, it came out of the bi-partisan meetings and now it's the Democrats turn to negotiate.

    That is where they should apply in the first place and since 90% go back anyway it'll save some time.

    Stop the semantics illegal border crossings including criminals and drugs are a "worry" and a problem and we need more control and he addresses that with his proposal. Or just give him the additional funding for the new barriers and be done with it if Democrats don't want to accept his offer. Or come up with one on their own.

    Balls in their court.
