It's obviously not important enough for him to personally sacrifice for. It would take most if not all of his fortune so that's a bit extreme to expect especially considering that it's peanuts as far as government spending is concerned and he shouldn't have to. Now if he had Jeff Bezos money i'd be expecting him to take that route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_shaman Posted January 19, 2019 #103 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Just because there is a problem at points of entry doesn't mean we don't also need to stop Human and Drug smuggling across the rest of the Border. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast forward a few decades later and we literally have Republicans not caring if we waste billions even though we have astronomical debt and a bad deficit. I miss the old fiscally responsible party I belonged to all those years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the old fiscally responsible party I belonged to all those years ago. I don't think you belonged to the party back then based on you positions expressed now. It's only January and we the U.S. Taxpayers have already in less than a month spent 12 Billion Dollars supporting Illegal Aliens in terms of welfare and benefits. Compare that to the 5 billion President Trump is asking for border fencing and walls. Which is going to be more fiscally responsible to U.S. Taxpayers in the long run. You are not fiscally responsible in your stance on this matter so don't pretend that you are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not fiscally responsible in your stance on this matter so don't pretend that you are. The wall is going to do nothing to change those numbers. The illegals that are here are here. (government spending and the overall economy are separate anyways) Even Trump hires them. But, I'll admit- no one is fiscally responsible anymore. It's just another plank from the Republican party ripped away and discarded. It's like the meme going around here in Iowa: China buys our national debt so we can pay our farmers who are going broke because they can't sell their crops to China because of our trade war. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's bs man. The country doesn't belong to just them. This is something WE really want and it's our country too. Concessions are always made to appease the dems because they whine, cry and bully like little biches and i for one am tired of appeasing them while we "continue the debate" on "comprehensive immigration policy".

Trump and the Republicans could have built the wall without a single Democrat vote in the last two years. Now it's the Democrats fault because they couldn't get their act together and agree/vote as a team? The only change is now Trump has a scapegoat on why he can't get it done because the Democrats have the majority. (And seriously, is he expecting Democrats to work with him when members of his own party didn't?) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will curb Human and Drug smuggling in the future. It will reduce the workload and dangers to Border Patrol Agents. It will reduce the amount of money we spend on Welfare for Illegal Aliens in the Country who get free benefits simply by crossing the Border illegally while they have paid nothing into our system that the rest of the U.S. Taxpayers have paid into most of their adult lives! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost_shaman Posted January 20, 2019 #113 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Last year Democrats voted to give over half a Billion Dollars in Foreign Aid to Jordan to build a Wall/fence of over 200 miles on the Jordanian/Syrian Border, but now they call it "immoral" for our own Country to do the same! They are just pure Hypocrites that have NO interest in protecting our own Country and our own Citizens that they are obligated to protect!

Agent0range Posted January 20, 2019 #119 Share Posted January 20, 2019 The house would vote to reopen the government. The Senate would vote to reopen the government if that piece of trash McConnell would send the bill to a vote. This shutdown belongs to one petulant child. To all the people saying "just give him the 5 billion dollars", that's not how our government works. We elect our representatives to vote what is in our best interest. They couldn't even vote on the 5 billion when the Republicans had the majority, because not enough of them support it. THIS IS ONE MAN holding the government hostage. Keep it shut down. I am good for another 4 or 5 paychecks. Don't give him anything. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F3SS Posted January 20, 2019 #120 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Cost didn't matter with the trillion dollar stimulus that benefited nobody except lobbyist.

You know, "A please can we try this idea" would have probably gone a lot further than "Stupid Democrats kill kids with drugs, love Central Americans more than America and hate the Constitution". But unfortunately that wasn't the argument or narrative that was spread. The whole message for the Trump presidency has been, "We won and will do what we want and forget decency." But hey, I'm not the "Great Negotiator". 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
