[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why hasn't the Trump administration hired more Border Patrol agents and immigration officials? Fiddling while Rome burns seems to be this administration's MO.[/quote]

Why hasn't Congress passed a bill that would allow for more border barriers to discourage easy entry to our country?  [/quote]
There was $25billion in border security funding that was offered just this past December. Trump turned it down. Instead he opted for about $5bil. Not sure how that helps the border situation.[/quote]
Exactly. Why is Trump not serious about border security? He seems more interested in using immigration as a wedge issue for the election than in any meaningful actions.[/quote]
It's all a show for his base. And they think the $5 billion is so much better than the $25 billion in border security.[/quote]

Does it make any sense to you that Trump didn’t take $25 billion in December and now he’s fighting for $5 billion?  Trump didn’t wanted $25 billion because there were many other demands from Democrats that Trump didn’t wanted to give .

In December, Democrats just wanted to give Trump $25b and[b] later same Democrats don’t want to give $5 b[/b] ?

? Dems just gave him $5bil.   What are you talking about?

Trump initially was fine with the bipartisan deal that gave DACA path to citizenship. Then he got flack from his base for that which made him flip flop.[/quote]
