    When a Lefties says he is willing to compromise, that means he wants the Republican to give something up. Trump is the first Republican to call them out on it.

    He doesn’t have to “give in”. Funding the government for everyday operations and funding a wall are two separate issues. Put people back to work first. Haggle about your wall separately.

    America is not stupid enough to believe that any progress would be made toward the wall if government funding was restored first. Give lefties an inch, they will take a mile.

    I responded to your post because it looked like you were legitimately contributing to the debate. I am impressed.

    We really do not have the money to pay those people. That is why we are borrowing.

    Dem congress and presidents funded the fencing and the security equipment that was requested in the past and now. They will still agree to better equipment at the ports of entry, which is where the drugs and illegals come in. That is putting money where the problem is.
    Trump's baby ego demands a stupid fence. Let him pay for it. Of course, he can fund fighting all the lawsuits from eminent domain too.

    Dems have no trouble approving real security spending. They are offering what was requested, more for checking the ports of entry, which are where the drugs and illegals enter. Trump even lied about that yesterday saying it is not the ports, but the places without fences that are the places the mass of drugs come in. He lied. And you rightys will join the chorus of lies. Hard to deal with people who have no respect for the truth.

    No, that is not why. Actually, they will get back pay. So you see some advantage in paying them for not working? I don't get it, But you do, because it is Trump doing something that stupid.
