Trump is being a child and the government shutdown should end. There is no reason to hold innocent federal workers hostage for a symbol that he wants to build that will do nothing. He's a fawking disgrace.
I respect your opinion John but I disagree as well.
Couple of points -
-While Billions sound like a lot to any of us, at Government scale the administration is asking for pennies compared to the whole budget.
-Trump championed the wall and is executing on one of the pillars of his platform. It's nuts to have a politician actually follow up on a promise...
-Takes two to tango. This isn't just Trump holding up the spending bill. The Dems are at fault 100% as much. This is all about the next election and giving Trump this win would be a blow to Dems and they know it. It has nothing else to do with anything other than that. The dems are happy to trade a government shutdown before letting Trump have a win.
The party of financial conservatives want to waste $5b on a fence that will do absolutely nothing. Lol.
If you're a security professional with border patrol experience I'm happy to listen. The execution of the wall is being engineered by the DHS staff who this is their job. It is arrogant and foolish of the Dems to think they know better in their 15min looking at the plans than those that are professionals. Ever been told by someone who doesn't do your job how to do your job?
