Shut it down, shut it down hard.

While that's my heated response, I would like something different. I think it plays badly to make truly essential people work without interim pay, while the unessential drones get a paid vacation.

I would love it if there were some way Trump could assign essential/unessential people in such a way that the essentials got paid and the unessentials got RIF'd. Even better if that money could go to the general slush fund and be used for border enforcement, but I'd just take the RIF.

There's got to be billions of dollars of Presidential discretion. After all, how did Obama put over a billion bucks on pallets to fly to Iran? It certainly wasn't a specific budget item... it was slush.

Trump had 2 years to get funding under a Republican controlled House and Senate. This is now just political theater.

“Democrats said the exclusion would undermine their objective.”

Which is to use illegals to illegally vote, and as cheap labor.

“Cartel Nancy” wants the border open for human and narcotics trafficking. Trump needs to hammer all the open borders folks on how this is destroying the Republic. Then he needs to send the military in.

Good! Declare a national emergency and build the wall without giving America’s enemies anything in return. I want to see 1600 more miles of wall by the end of the year. Let’s put this problem to bed so FedGov can get on with its real job - deporting a couple million illegals each year until they are all gone.

Tell them we can limit it to 16K beds and use pallets for the other 25k...or maybe cages with hanging straps like they have on buses and subways to help the standing criminals.

No, Ryan and McConnell refused to bring up immigration and the wall due to upcoming elections and because the GOPE loves cheap labor and wanted to handicap the President they didn’t want.
