Or to contact their president and tell him to quit clinging to his extremely unpopular and worthless wall.
We can go round and round in this circle all day long. But at the end of the day the majority of Americans blame trump and also think the wall is stupid. There is precisely zero benefit for the democrats in giving the dude a mega maga win.
It’s never good for the party that is blocking funding to be doing so just because they hate Trump. Is the Children’s Health Insurance Program still being funded?
What is the cost estimate per mile? How long will it take to build? What about eminent domain? What about the tribal land this would cross? I find it very difficult to believe an administration that cannot even arrange food for a championship team beyond cold McDonalds and Wendy’s would ever pull this off in one hundred years.
how would animals navigate the archways if humans could not? Do you have links to this plan?
But is all that necessary? I have yet to be convinced by anyone that a wall spanning the entire southern border of the US is necessary. Apparently more terrorist suspects enter the US from Canada than from Mexico. But no one is suggesting a wall on our northern border.
Granted, there is most likely a need for walls on parts of the southern border. But across the entire border? I need more facts to convince me of that.
It does seem a little trivial when you look at the big scheme of things. No doubt our government squanders away at least as much on extravagant defense things. Wikipedia says that one B-2 stealth bomber runs about 2 billion when you factor in development and testing costs.
But my take is that the wall debate is a small degree about the cost and practicality of the wall and mostly political posturing and saving face. It's too bad the government workers have to suffer because of dysfunctional politics and political personalities.
This is definitely political arm wrestling. Both sides have a lot to lose. If the Dems buckle and give Trump the money for the wall, unless they can impeach him before then, he wins in 2020. If he doesn't get the wall, he might just go off the rails somehow. He's not a gracious loser. (He's not a gracious winner, either.)
