The crisis pre-existed the Trump presidency. POTUS has all of his predecessors saying as much. He has the current DEM leadership saying as much.
He has set a precedent with the move of the embassy to Jerusalem. Gonna get it done, fulfilling the promises of them all. And it will come in under budget, mark my words.
The broader border consensus on border security is a given. Acting on it is now a given because POTUS is not backing down.
And he did not let the DEMs off the hook. He could've announced his intention to building under EO and the MIL budget. But instead he gave them the opportunity, in the legislative branch, to fulfill their own oath to defend and protect the citizens of their country. And he gave them the opportunity again tonight.
The DEMS could make this go away and save themselves a lot of bother and cut their losses. They could turn this into a plus for themselves. Vote for the budgeting the wall โ at least take a wait and see approach and fund the wall with proviso that it will be studied for effectiveness. Face-saving deal. Their obstruction will be forgotten by their supporters, later, anyway.
But for now they are dug-in and stuck on stupid.
