Shutdown Day 17: White House, Dems disagree on definition of ‘negotiating’
seems to me that they couldn't negotiate so that's why it was shut down. why is reopening it going to change anything?
in any event, what i don't understand is back in 2006 hillary, obama and many on the left said yes, walls are needed. they just didn't want a LONG wall that stretched out in areas where it doesn't make sense. use drones and technology to also supplement this.
so why not go back to what they wanted in 2006 and say "we'll compromise and do this" - around 700-1000 miles of walls *and* technology THEN we follow up by working on DACA and why immigration got to be such a hassle next.
instead we've put ourselves in a collective position where we simply refuse anything but what we want, even if we don't want it but only NOW want it cause *THEY* DON'T want it. whatever it is.
our government's collective mental age is around 8.
One problem is Trump has never laid down a concise plan of what he wants border security to be and why
Specify which sections require solid wall, where fencing is needed and where electronic surveillance is preferred. Then provide costs
Instead, we get one size fits all......wall, wall, wall
Actually, he has said what he wants to do.
He wants to END ILLEGAL immigration. It is really hard to measure the costs, b/c it would not only cost the tax payer, it would completely realign the economy of the whole of N. America.
The ruling elite corporate sectors of Big Ag, the construction industry, and others foundations that give to the organized Day Labor industry, are all connected with the elite media at the CFR to brain wash American to make sure their source of illegal labor which does not need to be regulated continues.
This black market labor pool was important as it replaced domestic labor in the eighties, and continued to grow since. Now we are dependent on it. The electorate doesn't have an independent thought in their head that istn't put there by the corporate TEE VEE or corporate print, or wholly owned CFR silicon valley. Thus, they serve these interests, the interests of the elites which want black market labor in contravention of the ACA.
Naturally, NO ONE in the MSM is telling anyone the complete and total truth about this issue, nor is the administration.
How would folks feel if they knew that by constructing this wall, and ending illegal immigration, all landscaping and housing costs will go up?
All food costs will go up?
Etc., Etc., Etc.,
So much nobody is talking about.
