For those who ask why the Democrats don’t just “compromise” and give Trump the 5.7 billion…
The Democrats already DID compromise to give him $1.3 billion for border security of a kind that would actually work.
TRUMP ACCEPTED IT. THEY HAD A DEAL to at least open the departments not involved with border security.. Senate Republicans even passed it UNANIMOUSLY on voice vote. What is there to compromise when both sides agreed to a deal and then ONE PERSON (who had previously agreed) then asks to re-do the deal because, boo hoo, talk show pundits (Limbaugh, Ingraham, Coulter, Fox & friends) called Trump names and crybaby Trump caved to entertainers who hold no government positions.
Offer DACA as a compromise? TPS? Both DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals to protect children who were brought by their parents as small children or babies with no say in the matter) and TPS (Temporary Protected Status for refugees from specific countries) were working just fine.
Trump is the one who, on his own, made them into a problem, so Trump alone is the one who could solve those issues by just ENDING THE PROBLEM HE CREATED.
Trump broke the deal. Trump admitted he won’t open the other departments because then he wouldn’t have a hostage. Trump broke DACA. Trump broke TPS. Trump is the one who promised MEXICO would pay for a wall — a big, beautiful 30 foot tall CONCRETE wall and is now holding AMERICANS hostage for HIS LIE.
A wall would cost at least $40-$50 BILLION, not $5.6 billion. So if the Democrats did “compromise,” Trump would likely just BREAK THE DEAL AGAIN and say, “No, I really need $12 billion.” And keep breaking the deal and moving the goal posts. He already proved he can’t be trusted with keeping a deal.
Trump is the one who needs to now demonstrate “good faith.”
First open the parts of the government that don’t involve the wall and then debate border security.
