This is no longer about a wall, if it ever was, it's about Trump taking the government hostage. He cannot be allowed to get a damned thing this way. He has no respect for the process put forth in the constitution so he is attempting to get what he wants by other means. This is how countries slip away from democracy into despotism. Democrats are going to fight the battle that never should have happened had republicans not somehow been tricked into wanting an emperor.
We are a Republic.........and under the constitution these are tools to force compromise...........Power of the Purse..........House........the VETO power of the executive..........
Compromise.............none has really been offered by the Dems but NO.
Only thing they have done is to use the Judiciary to block every attempt to secure our borders............5.7 Billion is a small price to pay to open the gov't......for walls that could actually work..............which is why they don't want them.............
Pony up or it stays shut down.........or perhaps they can now FULFILL their BROKEN PROMISES OF 2006
