All of the people on this and other threads who are so unhappy with this law that they are ready to give up and are condemning Trump are missing the big point:
The Perfect is the enemy of the Good.
Stated in nearly that exact form by no less than General George S. Patton, Jr.
Ronaldus Maximus advised people involved in politics that you NEVER get everything you want, not even close, so that if you get something you should take it and run. Later, you come back for more. If any of you would think about it, that is EXACTLY how our political enemies have come so close to wrecking our Republic...so why wouldn’t we use the same tactics (which are CLEARLY effective) against our enemies?
Besides, I think that Trump will win handily in 2020. Why?
1) Alexandria Occasional Cortex;
2) That Jew-hating Moslem bitch from Minnesota
3) Green New Deal
4) Chasing 25,000 jobs from NYC, gleefully
5) Abortion on demand, even AFTER a child is born
6) Nazi Pelosi and Chuck Schumer
7) The clown show that is the Dem Presidential contest.
So, folks, when Trump landslides the Leftist filth, he’ll bring back control of the House and they will HAVE to fully fund whatever hasn’t been built yet, because they will owe him.
But go ahead, vote for Lieawatha, Spartacus, the fake Hispanic Beta Male or Cameltoe Harris, fluffer to California pols - any of them would be better than Trump, right?
I understood the bill to give President Trump $1.375 billion for the wall, but then there are all the poison-pill provisions to prevent him from spending it: can't spend it until September, can't spend it in parks, can't spend it without small-town mayor approval... Then after September when this bill expires, Trump has to start all over again with the next budget bill where Democrats may try to rescind this $1.375 billion of spending.
Furthermore, Democrats added deportation protections to anyone who is a "potential sponsor" of unaccompanied minors? Who isn't a "potential" sponsor?
So, I'd like to see from someone a list of what the "good" is that makes the "perfect" the enemy of it.

No one says they’re going to vote for any Democrat. To insinuate that is a little sophomoric, wouldn’t you say?
The risk is the base falling into apathy and sitting home on election night. Why? Because an increasing number of people see that elections change nothing. At best, it’s a speed bump.
I’ll ask you what I started asking elsewhere - are we getting closer to tyranny, or further away from it?
