The Shutdown

[BigRedBuster]

Hey, I agree with him on something.

I'm real tired of this bafoon. What can we the people do to put pressure on this guy? He is by far the worst POTUS of my lifetime and probably of all time. Its unacceptable.

And a wall will never stop this type of activity. Its so stupid. Know what always beats a wall? A driver with proper documentation in a vehicle at a port of entry. I'd venture to guess 99% of the drugs coming across the southern border would not be the least bit deterred by a wall. Planes, trains and automobiles(and boats) > steel slats.

How many of those then turned themselves in to US authorities, which happens a lot? How many would have gone through the regular entry process if ours wasn't so back logged and messed up? How many would have easily gotten passed a wall?

 

Building a wall doesn't necessarily help the situation.

Border crossings are at the lowest level in years and are continuously falling. One anecdote doesn't change that. A wall is a giant waste of $.

Crenshaw gets a lot of pub because he's young and inspiring but if we can endlessly pick apart AOC it's fair to point out most of his stories smell an awful lot like uncorroborated BS.

No kidding!  I'm assuming Crenshaw saw this (if he actually saw anything) on his visit to the border and was being hosted by Border Patrol agents and other officials.  Is he telling us that they watched 1000 people cross and no one did anything?  Sounds like we either need "more" Border Patrol or fire the ones in his entourage.

This seems like a good compromise.

 

Now the question is whether POTUS signs it or decides to disregard it and shut things down again or declare a fake emergency.

The Dems need to get out there with that message, now, flood the media with their border security proposals. 

 

Their biggest problem is they don't grasp how to use the media like Trump does, so they fail up front by not controlling the discussion.

I would prefer they wait to get too excited about the agreement until it passes both the House and the Senate and the president signs it

Sure, take a logical wait and see approach on this issue but rush to judgement on the actions of a teenager who has not yet been charged or found guilty of anything. Seems consistent.
