Revisiting .. should we give Trump his lousy wall to secure DACA

[Le Gaucher]

I think we should.

We can kill the wall next year.

[Me.]

1. First DACA

Then we'll talk wall, so he doesn't go back on his word

[Orrex]

4. Exactly right.

It's like telling a child "I'll give you this candy if you stop screaming," and then being surprised when they eat the candy and keep screaming.

That orange idiot racist fuckhead is all about his own instant gratification and aggrandizement. His word isn't worth shit, and only a fool would accept his guarantee on anything.

2. We do not negotiate with terrorists like Trump nm

3. normally I would agree

but compromising with the far right only pushes the nation more to the right.

When he rescinded the executive order on Dreamers he said that Congress should fix it with legislation.

A clean bill (a term he didn't understand yesterday) is what he basically called for... and that is what should be passed. And it would pass except for Ryan and McConnell being terrified of the "Freedom Caucus" (Authoritarian Caucus).

5. No

[dawg day]

6. Get DACA.

DACA would have to come first.

"We can talk about the Wall after that."

The GOP does this all the time. "Susan Collins, vote for our tax bill, and then we'll talk about what you want!"

[Old Vet]

7. Hell No, Let Mexico pay for it............

[Girard442]

8. Think: What Would Donald Do?

Promise if he signs DACA, we'll vote for his wall. Then renege.

9. they are talking about border security now

the same stuff that was already proposed before and failed as part of comprehensive immigration reform. It’s mostly technology but also fence (not wall), cbp wants transparent barrier - of course trump will call it a wall. Yes, they should approve it because dems had voted for it before. It’s clear now after reading the book that the media needs to start translating trump’s language of grotesque and 4 y.o. vocabulary to appropriate standards.Instead, they keep sensasiolazing every dumb word he said. It is what it is and will only get worse as he is not willing to seek treatment for his condition.

10. NO way...

Also you should definitely go to Beto O'Rourke's Facebook page (I can't link it at the moment) and watch the video from this weekend where he visited the National Butterfly Center.

11. We will talk wall after DACA and after we see Trump's tax returns.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. He can have his fucking wall as soon as he gets Mexico to pay for it.

See how easy that is?

[BoneyardDem]

15. Just holding Trump to his word. It's how it should be done

[NCTraveler]

13. I have no issue with it.

As long as DACA is not attached to the start of the wall. Dirty little secret. The wall is a joke. It can't be built. Period. Not the way they imagine. We should be gleeful over such a deal.

[themaguffin]

14. NO NO NO NO NO NO and HELL NO.

[panader0]

16. NO!

No fuckin' wall!

[shraby]

17. trump lies. That should give you the answer to your question.

He can't be trusted . You can trust a dog not to eat a biscuit if you tell him no a lot more than you can trust trump to keep his word.

[Jake Stern]

18. I agree

Truth is, even if Trump were to renege, that wall will be bogged down with logistics, planning and litigation by landowners, environmental groups and so on for YEARS.
