[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is clear, from the posters here and from the statements from the Democrats, that they really have no reasonable argument against a wall.  It is all about #resistance and ensuring that Trump is unable to fulfill a promise he made to the American people...

Dems:  "Walls don't work."
&lt;They are shown evidence of how successful the wall has been not only in our country, but also other countries&gt;
Dems:  "We need other solutions - technology and people."
&lt;They are shown evidence of where Trump has stated he would include other solutions&gt;
Dems:  "You can't place a wall along the entire border."
&lt;They are shown evidence of where Trump has stated that there will be places where a wall won't be built&gt;
Dems: &quot;It's too much money.&quot; 
&lt;&quot;It is less than 1/2 of 1% of the federal budget&quot;&gt;
Dems:  &quot;You haven't spent all the money already allocated.&quot;
&lt;&quot;Neither have many of the agencies allocated money.  If that is your criteria for spending, we can talk about some of the social programs you want to fund.&gt;
Dems:  &quot;Why have you chosen this hill to die on?&quot;

Nice try, folks.  Your strategy is so damned transparent.  [/quote]

Democrats offered Trump $25 billion for the wall in exchange for DACA.  First he accepted, then he reneged.  Most Americans favor DACA.  Seemed like a good deal for him.  Why did he change his mind?  His base doesn't like DACA, that's why. He also has money for border security which he hasn't spent.  Which shows it's all about "wins" not securing the border.  He doesn't care if the wall is built or not, and neither does his base.  It's just about the "win."[/quote]
