[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leave it to liberals to only pull out key bits.

On film, you have Trump demanding more border security, which includes his wall, you have Trump promising to shut down part of the government if he does not get the security requested, and Schumer and Pelosi saying that what we have now is good enough. ON FILM.

Brilliant move on Trump's part[/quote]

I didn't read "The Art of the Deal," but I have read other books on negotiating and all of those books say you have to offer something to get something.  He wanted a wall.  He wanted a wall for two years.  He's needed Democrats in the Senate for two years.  And in all that time, he has never one single thing in exchange for a wall.  It was painfully obvious at this meeting.  All he offered was a threat to shutdown.  Instead of offering carrots, he offered to smack all three of them with a stick, wait two weeks, and let Pelosi smack him back.  What a deal![/quote]

Why don’t Dems want border protection?[/quote]

The dems do want border protection and have fully funded all executive requests for funding for years. There is unspent money sitting at ICE, Border Patrol and DHS. The question is, why isn't the Executive spending the money allocated to border security? There is money for drones, for processing asylum seekers, for everything needed to manage the border properly. Trump is making you believe this is an issue to appeal to your xenophobic instincts. The real issue is with employers who depend on illegals (ie cheap/slavish) labor to keep their costs down - the slaughter houses, farms, crabbing facilities etc. Even Trump's clubs hire illegals.

Take away the incentive for illegals to work illegally in the United States and the illegals won't come. But the GOP won't do that because the GOP controlled businesses depend on it.

Please wake up to the realities of how people like you are getting played by Trump and Fox.[/quote]
