    Does this hashtag have a filtering option in between "Legal" and "Americans?" I think some people in this thread will find it useful.
    Run the table.

    Go back to your safe space! Donald Trump has not used me for anything, he cares about all of us before himself. A real plan for a wall is certainly happening - just like everything else he said will happen. I repeat, I have not been duped. MAGA!

    600 some odd miles of the border already has a wall. If this money goes toward repairing/replacing that, I wouldn't oppose it. If you are looking to curb illegals start with people who overstay VISAs. After that, I would hit employers who hire illegals and pay them crappy wages. Here in Phoenix, we know who they are and so does ICE. They just don't care enough to bust them.

    So are you suggesting the government has an unlimited amount of money to do whatever it wants? There’s no opportunity cost?

    Note I didn’t suggest these projects are mutually exclusive, but I’m just providing context. I’d still like to hear your answer though.

    Nope, never said anything close to that nonesense. We can come up with dozens of ways to spend $5 billion, but none of them have anything to do with building a wall on our southern border.

    Last time I checked the U.S. Mint still had a printing press; where they can print and print. When I was a kid White Castle's were a nickel with a coupon from the newspaper they were six for a quarter ; now they are ninety cents for one. Lots of printed money.

    What is interesting through this whole Shutdown thing is that Trump has been working as President while not taking a paycheck. He said he was serving as President gratis when he took office, so he isn't being paid either.

    Know who is? Uh, Pelosi, Schumer and every legislator. They're getting that jack while the guys on the front line get jacked.
    Time to declare a National Emergency and end this Tomfoolery.

    Really? https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/08/polit...own/index.html

    Of course, these legislators who are donating their paychecks to charity, don't have a hotel or golf rentals for secret security agents lining their pockets during the shutdown. And they are Republicans and Democrats.

    Welp, REALLY. They ARE getting paid. If they choose to donate, great, but that doesn't disprove my statement. And who's pockets are being lined? I'd guess that the Lobbyists haven't stopped paying Legislators for influence.
    Want to give Trump any credit for working for zero pay....all along? Nope. Didn't think so.

    He's a billionaire, every Congress person is quite well off, and at the end of the day the shutdown is their collective faults. No credit to any of these hacks for not getting paid from their own failures. If it was a sacrifice worth getting credit for than they might have been motivated to find a resolution by now.
