No, Congress won't allow it.

If Congress becomes the stumblingblock and risk making the Dems be the villians of the story, they might as well hand over Trump the second term lol.

The Democrats and Republicans need to get along with each other for the good of the country!

That would be good. Sadly the people cannot get along with each other.

you know the wall could be used to keep us in too. What will it be like in LA or Chicago or NY if the US dollar ever collapses? Rev says it will be denarius for a quart of wheat over the whole earth one day. The world financial system is a dollar based system and all the institutions of the world would be effected if our system collapsed. No fiat currency has ever lasted as they all go to 0 value over time.

"Compromise" is now a dirty word for Trump people. So they'll continue the shutdown until they realize that there's no way they'll get their demands. That will take a long time; they aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.

From the TV show "Rules of Engagement"; Jeff, talking about compromise.

"My wife wanted a cat.
I didn't want a cat.
So we compromised...and got a cat."

Trump must have watched that episode. ^_^

Trump wanted a wall. The American people don't want a wall.

So they compromised... and he didn't get a wall. Now, he wants to renegotiate the deal. I don't think it's going to work.

He has enough money to build and defend a great fence. No need for an expensive wall.

Security people prefer a fence; it lets them see what's on the other side. It's why the Israelis use fences, now.

Problem is, a fence isn't an effective tool, many places along the border.

It would be very effective if guarded by armed personnel. Soon those would-be-immigrants would stop coming. Recall that upon Trump's election there was a profound drop in border crossings as they thought a wall was going up immediately. Now that the wall is in political gridlock they are coming again, this time in force. This makes a barrier of some sort absolutely necessary.

Illegal border crossings have been steadily declining since 2007. The trend predates Trump.

This isn't about border security; it's about Trump keeping his base happy.
