Talk to officials from DHS/ICE/CBP. They are screaming for help. All they get are lies, distortions, and fabrications from the likes of AOC and other Dem politicians. Elijah Cummings screams about the border as if he cares, yet his own district is a rat-infested nightmare compared to the border.

Think of the total hypocrisy. Trump asked for a couple of billion dollars to build this "wall" (more of a very, very good fence). I heard we spent 1.5 trillion so far on the war that began with Bush in the middle East. No complaints, no grandstanding, no complaints that this is racist, xenophobic, etc. Every president, Democrat or Republican, has been for better border security. Everyone agrees (now) that it is reaching crisis levels. So why the big, big debate over a couple of billion dollars?
I have already explained that 40% will be returned to the US the very first year in taxes from those paid to build the wall. At the very least it will be a jobs program. The cost is trivial. The purpose for the debate is not about money, the purpose is to distract the US citizens. People who are losing their jobs can think the Republicans are doing something about it, but the reality is they are losing jobs to technology, not immigrants.
