Democrats want border security. They have voted for border security. But not for a quarter mile clearing of US land through sensitive areas.
But that is not black and white, it requires thinking and understanding, which the right can't do.

Who cares about 1/4 mile of clearing. There's wide swaths of the border up to EIGHTY FUCKING MILES into America that we can not go into because of activity of illegals and drug runners. Sacrificing 1/4 mile to get back that 80 mile stretch is well worth it.
And your wide swathes of the border that Americans can't go? BULLFUCKING SHIT. I have many friends that bird the border areas constantly. Never afraid to go down there. You are falling for more of Trump's and whatever extremist rightwing sites you frequent's lies.

Re: How Long Will The Shutdown Last? (Dec 2018)
Here’s are two honest questions:
1) Who thinks President Trump can allow the shutdown to continue for the length of his presidency?
2) who thinks Speaker Pelosi can allow the shutdown to continue for the length of Trump’s presidency?
If Trump is everything the left says he is (doesn’t care about anyone but himself, etc) then either the Dems will cave on the wall, or we will be shut down until 2020 at least

Lindsey Graham is on FauxNews right now, and he's speaking a bit of sense. He believes Trump's only way out is to reopen the Government contingent on a short window, say 3 weeks or 30 days, whereby Congress will either agree to a wall solution or he will declare emergency action. That will alleviate him of being accused of unilateral action. He can pin it on Pelosi.

Re: How Long Will The Shutdown Last? (Dec 2018)
Why can't the donks just trick Trump into signing off on a wall plan that either would get shot down by a judge on a technicality or end up in limbo because it's deliberately under-budgeted in some way or even calls for some kind of building materials that don't exist?

Re: How Long Will The Shutdown Last? (Dec 2018)
Ok if there was any reasonable doubt as to who is on the short end of the stick in terms of public opinion on this thing right now it's gone. The "gold standard" polling effort has weighed in and the Republicans are clearly underwater. As noted before, I pay particular attention to ABC News/Washington Post polls. To review: It is one of only 6 polls among the 396 graded by 538 to receive Grade A+. Among the A+ rated polls it has the smallest average departure from the actual results in political races (2.9 percentage points off one way or another on average). It has a very small bias (0 is no bias and it's got a 0.6 to the Democrat side).
Now it's reported results of a poll it conducted January 8 - 11. + or - 4.5 percentage point margin of error.
53 percent of respondents blamed Trump and the Republicans for the shutdown, 29 percent blamed Democrats, and 13 percent blamed both. Advantage Democrats.
79 percent said the shutdown will be either a crisis (38%) or a serious problem (41%) if it continues for several months. Only 19% said it would either be a minor problem (18%) or not a problem at all (1%). So the Rush Limbaugh argument that a government shutdown is no big deal is not gaining traction.
54% said they oppose building a wall along the US border with Mexico while 42% said they support doing it. So the Republicans are dug in on the basis of trying to do something most people don't want. Well...the "most people" thing is close because if you take the margin of error into account it could be 49.5% opposing. But best case scenario for the "build the wall" position taking the margin of error into account is 49.5% opposing and 46.5% supporting so it's underwater. And at the other extreme it could be as bad as 58.5% opposing vs. 37.5% supporting. "Build the wall" is not a position supported by the public.
The best news for Republicans is that, among respondents who oppose the wall or have no opinion on it, 45% think the Democrats should compromise vs. 48% think they should just outright refuse to fund it. That's a statistical tie. 52% of those that support the wall or have no opinion on it think Trump should demand wall funding vs. 41% who think he should compromise. However, it all works out to only 24% of ALL respondents thinking Trump should demand funding for the wall in the context of a situation in which, by a 25 percentage point margin, more blamed Trump and the Republicans for a shutdown that 79% think will be a crisis or a serious problem if it continues.
Things can change at any time. I've seen public opinion change rapidly before. But right now there is no question that the Democrats are winning the public relations battle. Or at least they were through January 11.

Trump just needs to trade DACA for wall funding and when Pelosi and Shumer reject it, he wins bigly with Team Brown.
Now, if you want to talk about right and wrong: I do think it's wrong for ANY President to do something like this. I thought it was wrong for Clinton to do it. I thought it was wrong for Obama to do it. It's an extortion tactic. And it's especially bad when the majority of the People don't even want to do what the President wants to do.
There's also the thing where Trump said Mexico was going to pay for it and wrote a memo with a specific plan about that.
If Trump wants his wall at this point he should straight up admit that it's not going to work out like he wanted. Mexico is not going to directly pay for it. Then he should make the case for why US taxpayers should pay for it, why we need one, etc. He shouldn't be doing this when it's not how he said it would happen and it's clear that a majority don't want a wall.
