No deal Wall First. That’s how you screwed Reagan’s 3million boarder jumpers, Now 22 or more million. No Deal. Wall First

Unmmmm, they had better watch out come 2020 then because we are all sick of lying politicians. We do not want to pay for a wall. Period!

Now we are talking about governing. Thank you.

Build that wall baby!!! BuildTheWall2019

He's kinda confused about what the Blue Wave means.....

Archives seem to evidence that securing the border was a measure long-sought by democrats up until the 2016 election. Now it’s immoral. Things that make you go hmmm.

The Wall was a good idea when Nobama, Pelosi, Shillary, Billary and Schumer talked about it. Now it's not a good idea bc of Pres Trump😱

If Merrick Garland isn't part of the deal, go pound sand!

Why must the GOP buy a shutdown end? The wall is for Americans and there should not be a hostage settlement to get what we need. I think the Democrats are being criminals. Where are our rights now?

You mean negotiating? There’s an out-of-the-box idea.

But the President still needs to sign. Democrats should have taken the first plan proposed several months ago. Shutdown wouldn't be happening now. Blame Democrats!

Please ask all Republicans the question I stated in my previous.

Ask Graham CNN why Republicans did not fund the wall when they had a majority. Ask him why McConnell didn't go nuclear if the wall was that important to Republicans. This shutdown is a political stunt designed 2 shift the blame from Republicans 2 Democrats 4 not funding the wall

Sounds like Mitch wants to push shutdown into the House.

It is a known fact that if you continually give in to a child that child will become increasingly more demanding. A child needs to be told no when requesting unrealistic demands. So, it's time to say no and let him have his tantrum. Put him in his room and close the door.

Democrats aren’t going to go for that or anything that will require tax money for a wall. Trying to use dreamers as bargaining chips again? Dreamers are not political pawns. The courts already ruled that the program will stand. They’re better off waiting for a new president.

1986 Immigration and Control Act cave in redux? We get the amnesty, but not the full enforcement of the border and immigration security measures defined in the law. No thanks. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Wall or bust.

“Sources say” aka, made up BS.

No wall money

😯

It’s all horseshit and Americans know it; the GOP has their own written bills to open the gov passed by the house and not voting on those is obstruction

Is there any real information in this article, it sounds kind of like wishful thinking.

No $ for the wall!! SenSchumer SenWarren

If they bake deal. Amnesty Dems get there deal promise money.

talk about Dems for once

No effing wall!!!

How about Trump shows his tax returns in exchange. Would he do it?

Get it DONE TODAY. DHS employees need to be paid.

Don’t waste your time

⚠️As McConnell had stated prior “The People have spoken” and the New House is listening by passing the same Republican senate bill that passed Dec.🤔senate is resembling the last two years of GOP control House.🚨 Remember2020 TrumpShutDown is Economic Disaster GOPshutdown ⚖️

Want to reduce murders in the US, prohibit military grade assault weapons and you will save 20 times more deaths than some mindless wall will prevent. As an added bonus, passing a law costs nothing so you can spend the 5 billion on fixing crumbling infrastructure!

It's called crossing lines and making a deal, isn't this what they are supposed to do

Finally some hope of them working together they work for us get a deal done meet in the middle if they have to !

Los demócratas saben que el muro es necesario no un lujo, cómo se nota que no son quienes están lidiando con invasores que en su gran mayoría pertenecen al crimen organizado, deberían ponerse en el lugar del ICE que hace un gran trabajo.

Nope.

GOP’s spoil child trump must be punished we can’t give anything he wants

LindseyGrahamSC NO wALL the president doesn’t get his way because he’s holding his breath to get his way you and the rest of the Republican Party need to stand up to trump the wanna be dictator

Well show what you got man GET THESE PPL BACK TO WORK

NO FUCKING WALL

Personally I hope the Democrats don't go along. I have read nothing to support the idea of spending billions of dollars on a wall. Think how that money could help people in this country who are homeless, disabled, uninsured. Republicans need to get their heads on straight!

No wall!! Immigration reform yes..but no wall!

No wall

If the Democrats cave in this time, Trump will shut down the government every time he doesn't get his way, until he is removed from office. Even though the GOP tempts the Dems with good and sane offerings, NO WALL. Enough.

Oh HELL NO!

It's that there job?

Won’t work. Unlike the president the Democrats can’t be bought

Right...saids who. Lindsay Graham, haha

Don’t give in he will hold you to ransom over and over . Punish the Failure

It’s not about the Wall it’s about Trump , he’s a Loser and you can’t give him oxygen .

Has LindseyGrahamSC been reading my tweets. Thats exactly what I suggested.

The GOP will sell their own mothers to sate my demands. It’s great. For all of you wondering if they flail about after me because I have something on each and every one of them....you’re right.

Good, but NO WALL

The entire GOP is just gross.

Good job . Also jail time

SpeakerPelosi

Please get the job done; our fellow Americans need to pay their bills. I will never understand shutting down the government! Let’s trickle down with all those tax savings and pay their bills Uncle Sam

liberaltlou 🚫

Republicans need end the government shut down. That is the only issue!

Pick up your glass slipper Lindsay and go away. Period

Do it. Win/Win!

Why in private? What they are planning is how government is supposed to be.

Yeah right.

Hell No!!

Bahahahaha

Build the wall

They will not win.

Oh is that called negotiating? What they were elected to do?

How much of this is CNN’s making up fake news?

He wants to do something along that border to justify 5+ billion he needs to build his tower in Russia, mark my words, and after he’s found out, no one will do anything about it as always.

Because they are the adults in the reom

There are Democrats that want the wall because their voters support it

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Fake News much?

For the first time. TRUE NEWS!!!!!!

Wall tax for rich

Good the Democratically stupidly has the government shutdown

Hasn’t this been tried already? These characters have lost their collective minds.

No deal why would they give Five billions dollars to feed Fox News lust for racism and hate. And as far as Dreamer who in their right mind would trade five billion for three years

SpeakerPelosi - please don’t fall for realDonaldTrump little stunts. He will renege and rub your face in all his nonsense. The American people are behind you. Stand strong 💪 NO. WALL. FOR. YOU.

ResignLindseyGraham or Retire

The wall is a total waste of money. Has anyone looked into who is going to get the contracts to build it? I guarantee thst Trump is going to make a fortune from it or his family. Why else is he so stuck on it? Every thing he does is for him and not the country.

What happens when trump rejects it? and then tells another lie and tries to BLAME the Democrats. It's time to Remove Putin's Pal from the WH & Lock him & his Criminal Family up. Enough of the dog & phony show it's time for him to GO

JSmithpolitics1 We finally have responsible adults putting an end to the Pelosi-Schumer clown show !

Colbert says

SenateDems if you do this it’s at your own peril. Any democrats who sell out there voters will be remembered. Your spine is just starting to grow back, you won’t be able to stand straight if you shoot yourself in the foot. The GOP created this don’t fucking cave.

realDonaldTrump wall for healthcare

I hope not

Dump gets nothing.

So an actual deal? Trump had that last year and then backed out. Why would anyone make a deal with Senate Republicans, they can’t guarantee Trump will sign it and they won’t override a veto

It’s about time our own party starts getting behind our President. Come on u guys what is the matter with u? Mr. Graham should not be the only 1. What the hell is happening to the rest of u? R u scared of Pelosi & Schumer? Don’t leave the President alone now! Move it move it!

Looks like only Republicans are trying to act like adults and compromise! Nancy and Chuck however only cares about themselves and don't give a fuck about Americans affected by the shutdown!!!

How many Dreamers live in f*cking Maine or Alaska?!! Collins needs to go AWAY.

I believe the majority of the American people have spoken that they don’t want the wall. I guess that doesn’t matter. Any vote for the wall will be political suicide.

Phuck the wall. Spend the money on more boots an the ground and give them more and better tech

Just say NO!

Whatever happened to Senator Graham is beyond understanding. Fine politician that somehow stooped to the level of Donald Trump. Still have fine memories when he stood up and defended the citizens of this country, what was right for them, plus. Golf game changed all that. Sad.

Lies

Are they planning on an immigration moratorium for a few years to make up for the DACA illegals? Legal immigration numbers need to be slashed at least 50% and chain migration removed before any deal is made

Breach in the wall storm over the horizon.

Give him a wall made of toothpicks so he can feel like he's won. He went from wall to fence to what and then what? Just so he can make his followers think he got what he proposed and what they agreed to. Biggest scamming loser ever!

No deals. Wall first, then we can start talking about negotiating things Dems may want in exchange for shift to merit based system and drastic reduction in overall immigration. Declare National Emergency and have Military build!

Too late. No wall.

NoWallNowNoWallEver senateGOP SpeakerPelosi SenMajLdr

Forget it, Democrats do not trust traitors like Trump or McConnell

No wall No wall No wall No wall ImpeachThatMF ImpeachThatMF

Nancy won’t give a dollar ...she’s a evil b it ch

They may court them, but with this President nothing is assured. I don’t trust a word he says. He has backed out too many times.

No money for Syris.

I don’t understand how the United States has not been split in two yet. Republicans and Democrats are constantly at each other’s throats.

If it were me, I’d say “look i want the wall, now what do you want in return to make that happen” the sad part is they don’t want to give anyone on the right a win. So they will say “we want nothing if it comes with a wall attachment”. It’s just a sad state

Stole a justice robbed the treasury to repay the rich ... if the Democrats pay this ranson next election will a progressive wave larger than the one that just occured. dnc

Wow GOP is in trouble if they are giving up their big hostages. Of course this can be easily spun into some sort of dumb ass verification that Democrats don't love Americans.

Hi SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer NOT A PENNY FOR THAT IDOTIC WALL. NOT A PENNY AND NOTHING AT ALL. NO WALL NoWallEver NoWallFunding Do NOT fail America by caving in to any offer. America does NOT want a wall. PERIOD.

“Measures long sought by Dems” sound really vague. Be more specific.

No wall

At least Graham is trying to do what legislators do. Compromise and pass a bill.

NO Taxpayer money for Trump's unnecessary, wall period. It shouldn't matter what he offers Senators, as long as deficit is rising and Social Security is threatened, there must not be any US money for wall.

GOP Looking for more ways to spend their way out of this with taxpayer money. $4 trillion added to the deficit over 4 years is enough. Balance your budget.

If it’s so “private “, then why are they advertising it on public media. This is kind of stupid.

NoWall NoBorderWall Resist

No wall, period.

They had their chance last year

They should ask for Dreamer Protection, Universal Healthcare and the New Green Deal in exchange for his steel fence. Too bad it will be 25% shorter due to his own tariffs...

At this point whatever gets the government open I'm for it

The Democrats will still say no. This isn't about policy for them, it's about payback for beating Hillary Clinton. They don't want a campaign promise to be fulfilled. It's a destructive path that they walk.

but what will u do w/pelosi, who would rather see americans die n suffer from illegals-crimes, drugs, n related crimes, n see america fail to see trump fail?

They had two years — and suddenly it’s life and death for the wall

That to observe what impact for the situations.

if they give in to Trump, we could see several more shut downs by Trump to get what he wants whether it's good or bad policy.

You senstors need to leave America and apologizefor your lack of action.

I would be okay with 5 billion if it frees children from cages and families from incarceration, reunites families deported without their children, allowing them to stay in the USA, legalize the status off all DACA eligible individuals and follows our asylum laws. Value immigrants

Is 2018 and he wants to build a freaking wall. Welcome to the twilight zone. Just another monument to him.

We must return to compromise and away from allowing the far right and left to operate on an all or nothing policy. We have had enough collateral damage.

Y’all know the game

What side is Lindsay on today?

No Deal.

They offered $25b for his wall and all they wanted was a solution for DACA the great negotiator made the deal and the next morning John Kelly called and said they deal was off. Why on earth would the trust them now? badfaithactors

NO.

Repubs/Dems meeting is never a bad thing. But expect little from this. LindseyGrahamSC has no credibility in this regard, no evidence he speaks for the Pres or has his blessing (let alone Pelosi buy-in). Case in point, Graham/Durbin deal leading to shithole country fiasco.

NoWall

There’s a higher need in other areas such as in medicine, healthcare and they all cry there’s no money, yet billions of dollars for Trumps ego is okay? backwardthinking

No, he said Mexico would pay for that wall. If they give in they'd better be prepared for the backlash. They would never hear the end of how tRump punked them from tRump. Better NOT be a TRUMP wall on the horizon. Better border security, Yes.

Lindsey you had better come through this time! Build the Wall.

Only acceptable deal should be replace Kavanaugh with judge Garland.

Nope! No wall, no money for the wall, no Trump monument. The budget was already unanimously agreed upon and Trump caused this shutdown because he’s a child. He needs to sign the dotted line and stfu.

Flip flop Graham!

What a ridiculous thought that any Democrat politician would want to protect American citizens from criminal MS13 drug dealing human trafficking illegal aliens. That voters elected them for their welfare would portray those constituents as extremely selfish.

DOD, DHS FUNDING FOR WALL. Military Security. Military Tribunals got Traitors. FillbyhecPridkn Barges dent to Guantánamo Bay. Rod Rosenstein can’t resign and hide. He and Mueller’s asses are facing Treason.

Only 3b for immediate citizenship for those on DACA (he receives nothing till they're ALL citizens). After Obama's Family Case Management Plan is reimplemented he gets another 1B. Bargain for each & everything in writing so there will be no stalling them while he wastes money.

LindseyGrahamSC you are a hypocrite. What have you become? Does Putin have something incriminating about you?

No

SpeakerPelosi PLEASE NO WAL

So to say it clear.The republican are gonna agree about a lot of stuff and bills that they always refused and rejected like Daca or immigration reform & Obama care which they were fighting for years. In exchange for racist useless costly wall to fulfil trump campaign promise.Omg

20billion and pathway for daca recipients within 20 years 😂

Looks like these sycophantic GOP senators are feeling the heat from their constituents. Be afraid, be very afraid!

Lindsey Graham how much money did u get from trump this year why u were playing golf at Margo-A-Largo and the money he put in all the rich people pockets in 2018 there’s a name for people like u called a ass kisser

🤡🤡🤡

Yeah how they think is going to pass the house? Stupid

Its almost like compromise is what a legislative body should be doing. Huh. Who knew.

'Sources Say'

No fu ing wall

Democrats should make the DACA deal and make Gerrymandering illegal and more for 'wall billions'.

Sources

But then again, that may take away votes from Democrats. So I doubt a deal will be reached.

Would that be considered bi partisan?

This is positive. Wishing them a successful deal!

This is how it should work, sorry about getting reelected should not be part of the process

DebbieJuneToo1 Republicans need to give up this wall. They gave become the laughing stock of the world!

A wall for his resignation. ......

Good, bad or otherwise, DACA recipients have been here for a long time, yes there are some abusing the system but a great majority are working families waiting to become legal. So I think a compromise, to make all already registered a legal status will make really good sense.

NO WAY!!! NO FUCKING WAY!!!

Everyone that doesn’t want a wall should have to take one illegal into their homes and pay for their needs until they become US citizens

What a wonderful way to make everyone forget POTUS colluded with the Russians to steal an election then obstructed justice traitors

Trump will agree and then watch Hannity and change his mind. It is a waste of time.

The MAGA Fans want their wall, but it’s obvious that Trump can’t close the deal. If the Dems are smart, they’ll use this opportunity to get a lot of concessions for maybe 3-4 Billion of Wall funding (which won’t go very far but might let Trump save face).

It doesn't seem that the GOP understands the mandate the Dems were given during election 2018. That wall will never happen.

That’s gonna be a big NO!

They better not even budge on a damn wall

Democrats have a counter offer, nothing for the 'Wall' and a 1 term President?

NO WALL EVER

Lindsay you'll never take Senator McCain's place in the senate. A second class senator trying to play all sides against the middle and not doing very well at it.

caryky

davewiner KamalaHarris, do *not* fall for this— we want real border security, not a 13th Century solution to a 21st Century problem resist

Since when did negotiations become courtships? It’s called NEGOTIATING - the only way to civilly get anything done. 🤨

Just so realDonaldTrump can undercut them once again? No thanks. NOWALL NOTEVER Trump will balk because he is beholden to AnnCoulter and RushLimbaugh. He is an impotent 'leader' just as he is no doubt an impotent 'husband' (ask StormyDaniels).

No wall. NoWall

Sources say CNN is full of shit

Dear GOP:

Yes like u scratch my blls I scratch urs too

No wall. Ever.

So he’s going to talk them into doing things they already wanted to do?

Nope.

This is how you get bills pass! You give a little, take a little!

The problem is in the WhiteHouse. Even if you have a deal in the senate, what’s the guarantee that the idiot wouldn’t kill it again?

So why don’t they want a wall? 🧐

This should have been done by the Dems Democrats

Any Democrat that capitulates on the wall need to be primaried out. Point Blank.

There should be no wall. America is the bastion of freedom. Do not destroy our legacy. Agree to improved immigration control, do not wall in our Country.

Is DACA included? Amnesty for those unlawfully detained on the border? Compensation and punitive damages for those laid off in the shutdown?

Democrats - don’t do it!

No wall. If SenSchumer & NancyPelosi give in to a wall for ANY reason. They will be voted out of office.

Go GOP. Show the Democrats how it gets done.

You mean to tell me that a REAL NEGOTIATION is going to happen? WEIRD! To think that each side is offering the other what they want in order to get what they want? Mind. Blown.

What

“God you people are hungry for a wall and I hope you never get it.”

Why not a wall?

No bueno! No wall!

Oh my god, so let me translate.... Someone is trying to do their damn jobs?

Isn't you tweeting it a sign it's not very private

No god damn wall. Period!
