    LOL. The art of the deal..... fail at compromising with your own party and the opposition party so declare a national emergency.....

    If rubbing my face in it is the fact that Trump turned down over ten billion because he couldn't compromise.... then gloat away!

    Sadly, it probably won't achieve anything unless they ate willing to open their eyes and see the truth about the illegal crossings. I agree that it's absolutely political from the lawmakers aspect. That's why nothing bipartisan will ever get done. Payback's a b**** on both sides. I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying what i see.

    I'm pretty sure all folks don't want their land partitioned, but at the same time, some are willing to allow that. As for demonization and xenophobia, remember i live down here. The demonization is within our own culture of machismo and betraying the "raza". Then again, this is the same culture that is known as being like crabs in a pot.
    Down here, we're nothing more than a political issue. Once this is decided either way, we'll be left alone to deal with all the mess down here that everyone wants to have a say in.

    I don't get that either. Those that come spend money have the ability to pass back and forth. My thoughts are the business owners are worried about losing the business of those that are here illegally.

    The fact that everything the Dems and their mouthpiece the media claim keeps getting rejected by Trump like Mutumbo has you looking pretty silly. He’s going to get the wall without compromising all the while garnering more support from more Americans who now see the left for what they are. Just win baby!

    Nothing has been rejected until the report is shared. Not a 4 page summary from Trump's lackey.

    Obama's DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson says "We are at a CRISIS at the border".

    The putz doesn't know he is making the situation worse. Plus, his own DHS secretary just praised those countries for their work on immigration...

    Irony... a precedence for shutting down the border came from richard nixon. And it was a huge failure. This tweet thread details the history...

    Trump is openly trying to make the situation at the border as worse as it can possibly be for political power. Just no other way to slice it.

    I’d say I Hope American voters are smarter than that but just look at the comments from the usual suspects here in the D&D and I don’t have high hopes.

    posters and pundits who call the other side dumb without reflecting on who is "leading" this nation are not the brightest or are just trolls, which is why I won't reply to their posts.

    As to cutting Aid, It does nothing in the grand scheme of things. It's just money for the corrupt, in which some Rightie or Lefty trump wannabee gets his hands on the money and mysteriously places it in his own "foundation" never to be seen again.

    The new president of El Salvador is a douche. how big of a douche do you have to be to get kicked out of the brutal murderous ARENA party? But It puts him in a position where he has to give the appearance that he's going to do more on his part to stop the flow immigrants coming to the U.S while very well knowing his own economy will collapse even more without the money sent back from U.S Naturalized citizens, U.S Residents, and those that live illegally in the U.S.


    Many people are talking about that other Mexican country in Europe with fancier Mexican talk.

    'We’ve never seen anything like this': As Trump threatens to close border, migrants overwhelm Texas cities
    Aaron Montes and Rick Jervis, USA TODAY Published 11:10 a.m. ET March 30, 2019 | Updated 6:20 p.m. ET March 31, 2019
    EL PASO – Under a bridge connecting the U.S. with Mexico, dozens of migrant families cram into a makeshift camp set up by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The families are there because permanent processing facilities have run out of room.

    Seven hundred miles east, busload after busload of weary, bedraggled migrants crowd into the Catholic Charities Humanitarian Respite Center in McAllen, Texas. Organizers there are used to handling 200 to 300 migrants a day. Lately, the migrants have been arriving at a clip of around 800 a day, overflowing the respite center and straining city resources.

    “It’s staggering,” McAllen City Manager Roy Rodriguez said. “Really, we’ve never seen anything like this before.”

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...acilities-local-strain-wall-trump/3309462002/

    Wasn't there some poster here in the D&D, who visited El Paso quite often (so he said), and said that "there's nothing unusual happening in El Paso."

    Oh, Ok..........................
