There a few worse things than a both siderist.

And you are , tv time why not opinion , and more opinion . GO TO THE BORDER .them give and opinion

Then talk to crazy Pelosi and get that wall built,

Last week it was 'Humanitarian crisis on the boarder!' This week is just a ManufacturedCrisis. It can't be both. Which one are you lying about?

Especially when Chump told us how to defeat a concrete wall 14 years ago

Excuse me Trump has the power to end his shot down workers are not going to take it very much longer and they will start leaving those jobs which will cripple America and then maybe just then Republicans will put people first over trump🇺🇸

That would be the dems! The$5 billion includes all kinds of security not just a wall

notComey The bigger picture is that the President is owned by a hostile state

That what happens when immature people try to act like adults and let their egos overload their obligation to represent the people and do the right thing.

That's right there's a big security problem at the border and the Dem. refuse to protect the American people. Only care about protecting illegal immigrants! Obama Clinton Pelosi Schumer wanted to do whatever it took to stop illegals from coming in. NOW NO

The Dems has the right to say NO but Mexico is laughing at crooked Trump n probably saying how stupid he is for how he's treating his own ppl over a stupid wall, he's a disgrace

Areal problem solver. How we got where we are has a lot to do with the incompetence on his watch.

Thank you Captain Obvious

Jeh, Tell that to POTUS. The reasonable position is to open the government and negotiate comprehensive immigration legislation.

Exactly! There are some portions of the border where a physical barrier makes sense and long portions where it doesn’t. Dems are for sensible Border Security. Both sides need to stop nonsense and get Govt Open

How is building a Wall on the border a crisis? Who is being the adult in the room when one side wants to fully fund Homeland Security & Speaker Pelosi's side does not. A Wall makes it harder for an illegal immigrant to cross the border & makes it safer for BP Agents and Americans

There's already a wall built. The WH/pres whole position is a MOOT POINT. If Pelosi doesn't want to budge on 'thewall' she doesn't have to cause he *created* this. He lied about signing a bill & now he's throwing a *country-destroying* tempertantrum

It’s a MADE UP crisis.

The 800,000 federal employees without paychecks are a crisis and far more important than a wall

Democrats need to realize Americans want compromise and they should learn how to cross the aisle. They are too stringent on the no Wall thing despite supporting a wall in the past. They look dumb.

This is not both sides !!

How so? I truly think Dems are quite prepared to move on security sans wall.

GOP Rep. Thornberry: using Pentagon funds to build wall ‘not a good idea’President Trump announced he was considering declaring a national emergency, allowing him to bypass Congress and build the wall he has been demanding on the southern border. But last night in his oval office speech, he didn't mention it. Congressman Mac Thornberry, the top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss. United front— GOP Senators support the shutdown, per realDonaldTrump. and the fools on the hill shouldn't be allowing Trump to remain in the oval either...Republicans are going to get another whooping in 2020 for putting Trump above the American people... Speaking up for bureaucracies, instead of thinking of getting done what the country needs done. How swampy.

President Trump: To Guard The Mexico Border, Build Planes, Not A WallPutting the $5.7 billion proposed for wall funding toward recapitalizing and expanding Customs and Border Protection's small air fleet would do way more to improve border security. So true Would they be armed? Otherwise we get great photos of illegal entry and escape into the country It's not an either or decision. Increased border security means adding to manpower, technology, and barriers. We must stop the flow of ILLEGALS to avoid seeing drains on our employment, health and other programs.

Plus side, does sound less racist.
