You know the story. President Trump agreed to open up the government until Feb. 15th. In other words, Democrats have roughly three weeks to agree to fund the wall, or Trump is dropping the hammer (probably in the form of declaring a national emergency). I know Chuck and Nancy are celebrating this as a victory, but I really don’t see how this makes them look good either. Trump has given them all the time in the world to compromise, and now he actually opened the government and gave them a window to sit down and figure it out. Before that, he offered temporary DACA protections. He even went from a wall to steel slats. At this point, nobody can say that Trump hasn’t tried to work with them.
It’s all so ridiculous. Trump isn’t asking for anything unordinary. This is basic border security. This isn’t something we can continue to kick down the road.
Trump spit some stats this morning, and they’re kind of unreal.
58,000 non-citizens voted in Texas, with 95,000 non-citizens registered to vote. These numbers are just the tip of the iceberg. All over the country, especially in California, voter fraud is rampant. Must be stopped. Strong voter ID! @foxandfriends

We are not even into February and the cost of illegal immigration so far this year is $18,959,495,168. Cost Friday was $603,331,392. There are at least 25,772,342 illegal aliens, not the 11,000,000 that have been reported for years, in our Country. So ridiculous! DHS

There are various figures floating around out there, but the one I see most says illegals cost US taxpayers $116 billion annually.
And Democrats are horrified by $5.7 billion for a wall? PLEASE.
