Why can't liberals see that holding back the wall funding is hurting more than helping?

    The road repairs already have a revenue sources which is squandered on other projects. The gas tax brings in enough revenue to cover road repairs from local, state and federal taxes. The wall is not taking money, or shouldn't take money from those taxes, but the ineffective government very well might because its inefficient and wasteful. There are other places to take money from seen in this clip.

    Pure and unadulterated whataboutism. Uncle Joe would be proud. So what if those things are ALSO wasteful. We could eliminate them too and put it all onto infrastructure and it still wouldn't be enough. Our bridges are REALLY falling down and killing people and that is a REAL crisis but Trump and his lickspittles would rather put up purely STUPID structures which nobody will even see because miles and miles of them almost certainly never be there even though Trump's cadre of crooks have long since pocketed the money for them.

    Someday , I confidently predict, this tape will come to light

    Scene: a dinner, fat contractors are all groping nubile underage serving girls with after dinner coffee as they light Cuban cigars with flaming hundred dollar bills. A somewhat younger Trump is regaling them with this:

    Trump: "....and then, and believe me on this. I'm gonna have these Rubes build a 2000 mile Wall on the Mexican border after they make me President"

    (Dinner guests collapse in laughter)

    Why so triggered? These are real 'shovel ready jobs' for a change. Trump is already replacing some barriers along the border with the last funding and is only asking for 215 miles of barrier most of which will replace barriers that migrants can walk through. He is also asking for upgrades to the ports, technology, personnel, and infrastructure like improved roads along the walls for the Border Patrol.

    Democrats that were for walls are holding all of this up for partisan politics.

    If the Mexican economy tanks and not just 1000s of people begin storming or border, but MILLIONS, I think every person that voted against a wall, should literally be sent to prison or executed for treason, because our destruction would be squarely on their shoulders.

    400,000 caught trying to cross a year. An average of one a day are found dead in the US trying to cross.

    You still defend this.

    What happens when your child screams in the store until you give them the toy......What does he learn to do next time, when you take it to the cash register and he gets it?

    And every person who voted for it should be strapped into the next car that plunges to its destruction hundreds of feet below off a collapsing bridge instead of the innocent American family that will have to die in order to build the most naked and useless symbol of bigotry yet proposed by anyone anywhere.

    No borders people are a hoot=) When protecting one's border is bigotry, all is lost. Do you lock the doors to your home or car? Hope not, because guess what....you're a bigot my friend.

    And doing nothing isn't what the Dems are proposing. They've offered money for border security. They might offer more if the Orange Fraud agrees to compromise on DACA and allow for a pathway to citizenship. Regardless, the wall is a waste of money.

    Obama addressed this with a little known memorandum requiring attention to "Cross-Border Movement of Special Interest Aliens" in 2016. Nothing was done because Obama was swept out of office that year.

    What's funny is in 2007 something like 15 Canadians were apprehended crossing the southern border.

    Since you are not for a wall is this an admission that you don't love America?
