I'd say so. I thought the whole wall would be like $25 billion. The $5.7 billion is just to get started. But the $25 billion would STILL be cheaper than spending billions on these cockroaches every single year anew.

“Damn it, the 5.7M is a down payment.”

Pelosi probably won’t go along with even a down payment on a down payment. :-)

Good move by the President. I hope it would be a significant down payment.

"He can’t stop negotiating against himself."

Nancy is incrementally winning by not giving an inch. Trump could be saved by Pelosi still refusing to give even one dollar, but what would happen next?
