The blood is on Obama's, Pelosi's, Schumer's and several Federal Judges' hands. The DNC's attitude is "there's no crisis unless we say there's a crisis and then we'll blame the Republicans for it."
Prove me wrong.
extending the Wall notwithstanding, they know it is a major voter turnoff. even Speedy's beloved polls say so!!!As far as the polls go. Gallup poll from February. Latest I could find on the subject:
i don't care how the border is made secure, just that it is. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

Solid Majority Still Opposes New Construction on Border Wall
Sixty percent of Americans oppose major new construction of walls along the U.S.-Mexico border -- the goal behind President Donald Trump's budget showdown with Democratic leaders that led to a record 35-day partial shutdown of the federal government.
https://news.gallup.com/poll/246455/...rder-wall.aspx
The House and the Senate approved $1.375 billion for construction of new fencing (not the WALL Trump wanted). Trump had asked for $5.7 billion. Trump signed off on it and is trying to obtain additional money by taking it from other funded projects. Whether or not he has the authority to do that will be settled in the court system unfortunately. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Schumer has denied any "crisis" at the border, despite the evidence - ie AOC calling out the deplorable conditions - due to lack of funding which was requested - and denied by the Democratic House.
DPST's are perpetuating the mass immigration of illegals to gain votes ( voting for non-citizens)
and to create grist for the LSM to blame Republican adminsitration.
Immigration is the domain of Congress - the cynical DPST's in house and Senate are using it for all its's political worth- and at the expense of thousands of illegals.
Specious answer - and you know it to be Specious. Originally Posted by oeb11

Few Americans Want Open Borders— Democrats Included

so why the opposition to securing the border? again i don't care how it's done. just get it done.
Obama campaigned on that in 2008. even said hi tech could be used in areas where a border is not practical. then of course he did nothing about it. empty promises from the leftists.
then there is this .....
