this example is quite over the top but it's another good one
they offered more in exchange for daca. put daca back on the table, i'm sure tones will change for the 5b
DACA was on the table but teamRESIST told Trump to go himself.
you're delusional. Democrats offered well over 5 billion for the wall in exchange for DACA and Trump backed out of that deal
DHS presents a PowerPoint on the ‘crisis’ on the border full of false, fear-mongering claims
The only existing immigration crisis was created by the government.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), however, reportedly interrupted the presentation,
led “A Border Security and Humanitarian Crisis,”
after they objected to what was being discussed.
Nielsen tweeted that she was “disappointed” Democrats did not want hear from DHS about
the “security and humanitarian crisis” of “criminal aliens” at the border.
it is easy to see why Pelosi and Schumer chose not to participate in Nielsen’s briefing.
It utilizes inflated numbers to justify its fear-mongering rhetoric about immigrants.
the first slide, the only way to address
the influx of “drugs, criminals, gangs, and terrorists”
coming across the U.S.-Mexico border is to build a physical border wall.
DHS cites data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that suggests a dramatic increase in the amount of illegal drugs seized at the southern border. According to the data, 1.7 million pounds of narcotics were seized by CBP in FY18.
CBP’s own website, however, shows substantially lower figures —
only 47,945 lbs of cocaine, as opposed to 282,000 lbs, and 67,292 lbs of methamphetamine instead of 248,000 lbs.
CBP’s website also shows that these
drugs are arriving in the U.S. through ports of entry,
meaning Trump’s multi-billion dollar
wall along the border will not prevent illegal drugs from entering the country.
The presentation also reflects the administration’s ongoing effort to
label all Central American immigrants as gang affiliated.
According to the PowerPoint, 17,000 adult migrants with “existing criminal records” were arrested by CBP last year.
labeling all 17,000 immigrants as criminals is a lie by omission, considering the number could include individuals whose only criminal infraction is illegal entry into the U.S.
etc, etc

Nah, Trump had a 12 year plan for 1.8 million "dreamers" and Chuck/Nancy (basically the same en y) told Trump to go himself.
https://www.businessinsider.com/immi...blicans-2018-2The White House threatened to veto the bipartisan amendments in a telephone briefing with reporters, calling the proposal from the so-called Common Sense Coalition dead on arrival. A White House official also said they were requesting that Senate offices withdraw their sponsorships of the plan. The bipartisan amendment, backed by Sens. Chuck Schumer, Susan Collins, and others, would have provided a pathway to citizenship for undo ented immigrants benefitting from DACA and $25 billion for border security.
In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security condemned the Collins-Schumer plan as "an egregious violation of the four compromise pillars laid out by the President's immigration reform framework."
Yes, I'm talking about the Grassley amendment which Chuck voted no.

It's even in your article dude.
that's a different version.
but chuck backed a bill providing 25 billion for border security. white house said it would not accept it. chuck offered the wall. trump/grassley wanted even more (diversity lottery, family migration). chuck compromised, and give an inch. they tried to take a mile. that's on them.
Too bad the Dems just used it as a political wedge, like CC said in the DACA thread.
He isn’t getting a wall, Chris... teehee
gullibe chris
"but trump said"
bottom line is chuck offered 25 billion for border security and trump said no because they also demanded lottery/family migration changes
I'm tired of the wall bullsh. Armed drones ftw.
Robocop, tbh
AI (not Iverson) + Boston Dynamics = somewhat terrifying
I bet they can do it for less than $5 billion AND put Google ads on them too
Ok, I laughed

In Spanish because Mexico will be paying for it
Spiting yourselves because of migrants
Wish you fellas one day spend even just a short period of time in a nation that is united and has its own peoples well being in mind. But Americans haven't fought to protect itself for centuries, so its like the mindset of a teenager with wealthy parents.
