I had an idea for some legislation. Not that I'm confident it's good, but an idea.
Reps should propose a bill as follows:
Government reopens immediately without wall funding.
The bill will specify that the house has 3 months to come up with a bill that will secure the border once and for all.
If the bill is sound and will actually secure the border, then they have another 6 months to implement the program.
If after the 3 months the house has not proposed a bill that will secure the border, then funds to build the wall will automatically be approved.
*shrug* it's an idea anyway. This way, the government opens, the house has an opportunity to secure the border via their own method, and if they dont, the wall gets built.
Thoughts?
This shutdown has nothing to do with "securing the border".
We can quadruple the amount of border agents, give them every piece of technology available to stop immigrants from illegally crossing the border, and Trump won't agree to it unless it includes "wall" or some kind of physical barrier.
This is 100% about Trump avoiding humiliation regarding the ridiculous campaign promise that he made.
Well yes IT ABSOLUTELY IS ABOUT KEEPING PROMISES.
