The third trap is maneuvering the Senate Democrats into standing for open borders, or at least ineffective border security. The current House of Representatives will pass the funding. It is the Senate, where a 60-vote filibuster could be employed, that would be the obstacle.

Never forget that Trump was the most successful producer of reality television in the history of the medium. He understands drama and a story arc. Chuck Schumer leading a Senate filibuster right before Christmas to stymie border protection is exactly the story Trump wants the nation's TV-viewers to absorb.

Trump sprang nothing. After two years of having Ryan and McConnell ignore his requests for funding for the wall Trump went, hat in hand, to Pelosi and Schumer and had his hat thrown back at him. And after Trump’s threat of yesterday, McConnell is talking about no shut down being necessary. The fact of that matter is that nobody in Congressional leadership fears Trump or respects him. Time for that to change and the only way to start it is for the President to stick to his guns and shut the government down if they don’t give him his $5 billion.

you know, there were several studies done many years ago figuring/estimating what illegals cost this country every year, and the figure was massive- between $400 BILLION DOLLARS and $600 BILLION DOLLARS every single year. These estimates included many outright crimes, health care costs, schooling costs and the like, but also incidental costs like therapists needed for victims of illegal criminals, lost wages due to crimes committed against our citizens, school lunches, etc etc etc-

The cost today is likely closer to $1 TRILLION DOLLARS per year. Every single year.

Democrats are screaming about spending $5 BILLION DOLLARS to build a wall that will cut down on our yearly expenses for illegals by perhaps $100’s of BILLIONS OF DOLLARS per year?? Seriously? Why aren’t republicans making the case that a $5 BILLION DOLLAR investment today will save us many many trillions of dollars over the next few decades? This argument would put the lie to the ignorant liberal accusation that $5 BILLION DOLLARS is ‘just too expensive’ or a ‘waste of money’. Republicans need to learn how to put the bald-faced liars to shame by presenting them with facts like the above facts- There is simply no answer to their claim when presented with these obvious savings should we build a wall! $5 BILLION DOLLARS is a flippin bargain if you ask me!

Trump should have looked them in the face and ask them why they don’t want to save hundreds of billions of dollars per year by building a wall-

Their ignorant claim will be of course ‘Experts have declared that a wall will not save money’- but studies show that walls do keep people out- and keeping people out means we will NOT be spending money on them like we would if they got over a ‘fence’ unhindered-

It is an ignorant argument to claim a wall will not keep people out- and anyone making such an argument is a bald-faced liar that should be shamed into silence!

Even if we cut down the amount of people by 2/3’s by building a wall, that amounts to a savings of about $200 BILLION DOLLARS per year or so-

Build the freakin wall!

American Thinker needs to think more.

Majority of the United States voters don’t give a hoot.

A large percentage just want gibsmedats, a large percentage just want to stimulate their genitals anyway they want, a large percentage want “equality” over what nurtures society the best, and unfortunately a small percentage just want the ideas from Pelosi as well as Schumer eradicated from the public square.
