Dems probably would take that deal.
As soon as we offer Medicare to all our Southern neighbors will stampede across our border so fast that wall will be nothing but dust.
What if we tried something radical like securing our border without expanding welfare.

Republican party would never offer that deal.
Ask the Democrats you know if they'd take that deal.

https://twitter.com/mbalter/status/1083379330267394048When I signed the lease for our apartment, I never promised the landlord I was going to literally pay the rent. What I meant was that an improving economy and boom in the housing market would increase the value of the building and so he would get the rent that way.

How is this a money issue? Somebody explain how $5 billion for what 32% of the people demand is too expensive? Hell, if 100 million people want something, that's worth $trillions. (Think Seniors.)

I don't see what the problem is, the guy said the American Taxpayer didn't have to pick up the check and is now keeping the government shutdown because people are holding him to his promise?Martin Hash wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 11:34 amHow is this a money issue?

This was on his website:
https://web.archive.org/web/20161105192 ... e_Wall.pdfThe provision of the Patriot Act, Section 326 -the "know your
customer" provision, compelling financial institutions to demand identity
documents before opening accounts or conducting financial transactions is a
fundamental element of the outline below. That section authorized the
executive branch to issue detailed regulations on the subject, found at 31 CFR
130.120-121. It's an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time payment of $5-
10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their country year
after year.
There you go, get your 5-10 billion and pay for your wall.
And look man, maybe the new trade deal will get America tons of money, we need to pay down existing debt not get more, we don't need to spend more.

The democrats voted to fund -- to the tune of 500 million -- a 287-mile border wall in Jordan just last year.
THEY DO NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE MONEY.

I don't support that.
I have a highway near my house, it sounds like a river from 5am til 2am.
Deal with it, part of living where I do. I don't support wasting that much taxpayer money just to not even fix an issue.
There we go Martin, we just saved the government $11 billion dollars.

Jedi,
Why do you think they have a right to immigrant here? It's true that Europeans came in the 1880s, but the economy was vastly different, and the socials nets not nearly as extensive...and did not south/central americans have the same opportunity in the 1880's ...why is it wrong for America to close it's doors? especially in light of the social programs...
