Yesterday, Speaker Paul Ryan tweeted a video of himself on the Mexican border flying in a helicopter and traveling on horseback with US border agents.


It makes for great theater to see Republican Speaker Ryan pleading the case for a border wall, but how sincere are the GOP about building the border wall? Even after posting a video that appears to show Ryan’s support for the wall, he still seems unsure of himself. It’s almost as though he’s testing the political winds when he asks Twitter users to retweet if they agree that we need to start building the wall. How committed is the (formerly?) anti-Trump Paul Ryan to building the border wall that would fulfill one of President Trump’s most popular campaign promises to the American people? Does he have the what it takes to defy the wishes of corporate donors and the US Chamber of Commerce, and do the right thing for the national security and well-being of our nation?

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

REPUBLICANS DON’T NEED A SINGLE DEMOCRAT To Fund Trump’s Border Wall…So What’s The Holdup?

The Republicans do not WANT a border wall.

They want OPEN BORDERS.

Just like the Democrats do, because both of them think their future constituencies for permanent political power is going to come from flooding the country with them and getting them on the withholding schedules so they can kick the can down the road when Social Security and Welfare goes Tango Urilla after they leave office.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Trump’s Border Wall?

Republicans want open borders as much as any Democrat because they want cheap exploitable labor.

However, because of their base, they have to pretend to be against open borders. That is why it is so important to Pubs for the Democrats to regain control of the Congress. Then, the Republicans can go back to pretending to be against the Democrats while supporting everything the Dems propose. Just like always.

This Republican control of Congress is confusing the hell out of the GOPe. They are being exposed as the weasels and frauds that they are, and they don't like it at all.

But more than that, the GOPe is part of the 'resist' movement, and they want to frustrate Trump as much as possible. They want to teach Trump supporters a lesson. "You either vote for one of us (GOPe/Democrat), or nothing will ever get done."

It's called FUNDING.  A border wall was voted on approved by both Houses of Congress in 2006.  Funding for the entire wall has never been allocated.  The House just voted on a budget bill and in that bill $$ were only allocated to repair existing fence with a stipulation that no $$ would be allocated for more fence in the future.

Ryan at the border is a joke ... he doesn't want a border wall anymore than the DEMS.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

It is unfortunate that this promise doesn't seem to be one that is going to be kept; somehow, I just don't see the humor anymore.

It's meant to point out the gullibility of some people.

Or, at least, until those admit their gullibility.

But as long as they proclaim unto all the world the righteousness and truth of their infallible savior, Trump the Golden, then we... the heretics against their Lord should and do point out the inherent cognitive dissonance found in their creed.

If y'all don't think that all that drug money ain't making it's way to the lobby, You've another think coming.

The only way there is to get a wall is to vote for people who cannot be compromised. True Believers. Principled.

As long as character doesn't matter, and principles don't matter, and pragmatism reigns, bribery and coercion will reign also, because that is what's left. 

There will be no wall.

The "wall" should be viewed as a symbol.  As an infrastructure project, it's a waste of money.  But Trump's renewed commitment to enforce the existing laws is already bringing down illegal immigration.   The trick now is not to thwart this progress by stymieing legal immigration. 

Folks come here to find employment.  Employers recruit immigrants because they have jobs to fill.   The long term answer is to reform legal immigration so employers can get the workers they need, without violating the law.

Permitting sufficient legal immigration to foster a strong economy is not a "liberal" position.  It has traditionally been a conservative, pro-business position.   The nativism of the Trump supporters is, these days, in ascendency, but please don't mistake it for conservatism. 

Why shouldn't employers be able to have legal access to the workers they need?   Do you prefer they close up shop and move their operations to Mexico?

It would be more accurate to say that a wall is only a single facet of what must be a multi faceted approach to border control. A wall or fence in easy crossing areas combined with serious border patrol staffing increases and policies that don't allow an illegal caught crossing the border to spend months or years here fighting deportation. Personally I think we need detention areas that straddle the border where American and Mexican authorities can work together to determine who is who and where they belong. (I realize we'll end up paying for it but we're paying to keep huge numbers of illegals now).

Obviously the sanctuary cities and welfare to illegals needs to end.

Then comes the tricky part. There must be real and serious enforcement of laws requiring that jobs be offered to Americans first. Penalties for knowingly hiring illegals should hurt a lot, even to the extent that a company be driven to bankruptcy if they refuse to comply with the law.

The simple fact is that hiring immigrant labor should be more expensive than hiring Americans.

There are more than enough people in this country to fill jobs.  We don't need to use imported workers who won't assimilate to American culture and values to build a strong economy.

Hiring American workers is not "nativism".  It's good solid business sense and vital to bringing our economy back.

Referring to the wall as a symbolic gesture and proposing to bring in foreign workers to stimulate the economy is very much a Liberal position and train of thought.

No it hasn't.  That is simply not true.

I don't mistake anything Trump does for Conservatism.  I do support those things he does that are Conservative.  Building a border wall to keep the invasion of illegal aliens from Mexico, Central and South America is not just a Conservative idea...it's one that is vital to National Security.

Because they have access to several MILLION workers here that are unemployed and out of a job.  Several more million that stopped looking and that are no longer counted among the unemployed.

What I prefer is that the hostile business policies put in place by Liberals like yourself be rolled back so that businesses large and small have their ready made excuses for packing up and moving to a foreign country are taken away.

All you want to do is continue the bad faith practices of the Liberals like yourself that puts Americans out of a job in favor of cheap foreign imported labor.

Pay a descent wage and employers will find plenty of American workers.

Full repeal of Obamacare would go a long way towards helping a business afford to hire Americans again.

That's a mixed bag. American companies complain that their European competitors have a edge on them because they do not have to provide health care since govs in Europe do that. One of the arguments in favor of single payer is that it would make our industry more competitive by shifting the cost of health care away from employers and on to gov.  I have not yet made up my mind on that, but Ocare must go, and I do not like the idea of a single payer system.

Back in the day the mere mention of Socialized Medicine was likely to get you a punch in the nose.
