Of course people want border security. Democrats and Republicans and Independents alike want border security.
But by a large majority what people don’t want is a stupid wall. Stupid, wasteful wall is not border security.
Yes. This is exactly right. It’s a sad joke they are not all there working on this. Good observation.
It’s Christmas though and Donny is very sad that his much anticipated toy will not be under the tree this
year. I hate to see a child so sad at Christmas.
Dear Santa, please give Donny his wall.

Desperation. They know that the Republicans played them for fools for the whole two years they had everything and never attempted to get the wall funded.
And now they are making this stupid show vote at the 11th hour that they know won’t pass because they understand that their base is pissed at them. It’s a joke. And they fully own every bit of it too. And they know it. Which is why the GOP Senate was upset that Trump reneged on his willingness to sign the CR they passed.
The GOP knows this hurts them badly.
Their blind supporters will say anything because it is party first for them. So I don’t listen to them much.
Anyway, Happy “Trump Shutdown” Christmas. Lol

We will find out if the people want border security.
I am of the opinion we do.
Contrasting masses of migrants vs delayed paychecks of federal workers is not the terrible optic Trumpophobes desire.
Remember Border Patrol WANTS the barriers.

If Santa is paying for it, cool. If I’m paying for it, sorry Donnie. You’re not on the nice list.
Ok coal then. I think he saved that industry.

That doesn’t make the idea any smarter.

Once Trump caves on funding for the wall, Congress will come back to Washington.
No need for them to stay there and pretend to negotiate, since there wont be any deal with wall funding in it, and the only person who has control over that is Trump.

Border agents want it.
Build any of the 8 prototypes all along the areas where the lousy sheet metal is now.

Border agents want it.
Do border agents want to pay for it or do they want Mexico to pay?
That’s exactly what it is.

" The NBPC’s survey, of more than 600 agents in two of the Border Patrol’s busiest sectors, found just the opposite: A stunning 89 percent of line agents say a “wall system in strategic locations is necessary to securing the border.” Just 7 percent disagreed."
A poll of CBP agensts in the busiest sections of the border and you left out the part where the survey results “in strategic locations” and not necessarily a $25 - 70 Billion dollar wall across the whole southern border.
And in other news…
National Education Association supports more money for education.
In a new survey conducted by the National Border Patrol Council, the agents’ union, they overwhelmingly backed adding a “wall system” in new strategic locations, saying it will boost their ability to nab or deter would-be illegal immigrants.

So what. Most of America doesn’t want to pay for it. President Donald Trump promised Mexico would pay for it. Not that he would throw a temper tantrum and shut down the government if the American taxpayers didn’t pony up and pay for it.
Who will be taking the blame on the shutdown.
Trump not the dems.
Every citizen heard what he said.
All citizens are not as partisan as you and I.
