Juan Williams: Trump's wall is founded on fiction
It is a bad look for Republicans on Capitol Hill to promise to deliver tax refunds and food stamp checks even though their leader is the one who closed government offices.
Republicans also know they are open to charges of hypocrisy if their president declares a national emergency to get around his failure to get GOP majorities in the House and Senate over the last two years to fund a wall.
Congressional Republicans know the president's push for a border wall is a political fake.
The best evidence is that no one in Congress representing a district on the southern border supports the wall. That includes the lone Republican, Rep. Will Hurd of Texas.
"A giant barrier from 'sea to shining sea' is the most expensive and least effective way to do border security," Hurd recently told CNN. He voted with Democrats last week to end the government shutdown without giving Trump money for a wall.

See what I’m saying? If all the Republicans were on board for the wall they could peel away a few Democrats.
