I have my suspicions that this child crisis was orchestrated to pressure republicans to support the "more moderate" immigration bill (and to cover up the IG testimony of course).
But it didn't work out that way. The conservative immigration bill fell only 20 votes short, and the "more moderate" bill seems to be doomed this week (if it's not pulled altogether).
I think they are learning that the all their usual tricks and intimidations are not moving the needle in their direction.
And once Ryan and Boehner's moderates are gone in November, Amnesty for ANY illegals is a dead goose.
They're realizing that they're up against the wall with Trump (and the electorate)
As I said, the winds are shifting.
>>and the only way to make any progress under this president
When they say “progress”, they mean “Progress(ivism)” and they aren’t getting any of that crap under Trump.
But, we’ll take that wall now!
Waiting for him to veto any spending bill without complete funding. Still. Waiting. How many dollars in spending without even a serious veto threat?
How long would it take to fund the wall if we weren’t “helping” the ones already here? A month, 6 Months?
The way of words is misleading.
The wall is seen as TRUMP’S WALL
when in reality it is actually a
WALL FOR US!!!
Trump is only attempting to do what WTP wish him to do.
!!!PERIOD!!
They are not immigrants.
Trump / Pence 2016
Trump / Fence 2018
Oh it will work alright. I still grit my teeth when I think of that scumbag Trent Lott telling the story about his "pet billy goat, Billy", and how no fence could ever hold that goat in, and we're fools to build a wall on the border with the thought that we could keep people out.
a) Lott was a GD liar - I would bet my house he never owned a billy goat
b) If you put up an electrified barb wire fence around a goat pen, I would also bet my house that that goat won't get out
c) Goats aren't some magical, mythical creatures with super powers. Nor are lying politicians, despite what they believe.
Yup, this fake child separation issue was their last attempt to stop this train. On immigration they've already tried: racist, mean, xenophobic, uncaring, anti-American and everything else. The last arrow in their quiver was "Trump hates kids".
And until the white working and middle classes are reassured, we will get nowhere.
...
That’s a racist statement. Sullivan should be fired and all his assets confiscated.
Amen
Wow! I can't believe he went there.
What about the Hispanic, Asian, Indian and Black working and middle class who also want the same assurances as their fellow "white" Citizens?
Oh, that's right...you can't let on that it's anything other than a "white" issue to promote the racist angle.
Actually, it's pretty pathetic and obvious what you're trying to do, Andrew.
No.
NO!
NOO!!!!!
We need those Democrat voters!
We can’t get enough AMERICANS to vote for us!!!
No wall — no country.
BUILD THE WALL!
“As in everything, Trump makes things worse. His rhetoric, his callousness, his wanton lies all make a compromise harder.”
Yet it took Trump’s “callousness” even to get to the slightly honest level of discussion shown in this article. Exactly why I voted for him and will again. Sometimes you need the bull in the china shop.
This sudden child crisis was orchestrated to keep something out of the headlines. Smoke and mirrors.
Until the wall is built. And after. Station the military at the border and don’t let anyone across.
It’s not HIS wall. It belongs to the AMERICAN people. Especially the 50% of all AMERICANS who are forced to pay income taxes.
The more the LIBTARDS lie, FAKE NEWS the HARDER President Trump’s supporters DIG IN. We are taking a page from the SHEEPLE and fighting back through Social Media.
Conservatives are not going to like what they get. They will not got enough for a real wall without tons of now and forever amnesty.
Trump should start a deportation force consisting of all fifty states national guard forces. He can federalize them by executive order. Start at the canadian border and start pushing south from there. Each day round up as many as possible and fly them to Guantanamo to await their extradition hearings. This would not have to be completed the plan alone would force many millions of criminal aliens to self deport. Also the democrats would bleat and cry but then they would give in and allow the wall to be built.
