This is the question sucking the air out of issues sorely needing immediate solutions: health care, infrastructure, DACA/immigration, preserving our social safety net for the future and real tax reform for the “middle class.”
Well, here’s a suggestion for our Republican senators and representatives in D.C. Approve the wall as soon as POTUS follows through on his campaign promise and gets Mexico to deposit 250 percent of the most recent “cost analysis” for this fiasco. Better make it nonrefundable, because there are bound to be numerous cost overruns.
As POTUS stated, ad nauseam, at his rallies, “We’re going to build a big, beautiful wall and Mexico will pay for it. Believe me!” There you have it.
There’s no need to hold DACA or another government shutdown hostage for the wall. POTUS has clearly stated his terms for the wall. No pesos, no wall. Let’s move on.
