The Democrats have said "No!" to the Mexico-USA 'Wall'.
Stating that it is an 'illusion'.
So the Democrats have taken up the Challenge by Trump.
They are putting forth that they can offer a 'better' solution to the Mexican problem.
Finally some sense in this debate.
The Wall in terms of it being an impenetrable barrier and will reduce the instances of crime, drugs, rapes etc, it a total illusion.
It will not be impenetrable and as we know from all the statistics, even those from the Government themselves, the wall will not target the source of all the issues Trump has been using to justify it.
All that money, all those resources, they'll be totally wasted, just like the sacrifice of all those workers during the shutdown, that was wasted and for absolutely nothing, and now where the funds will be diverted from if they ever flow brings up other issues.
Either Trump has lied and the Generals didn't tell him they have all this spare money that they wouldn't even miss if he used it for a wall, OR, they're getting far too much money that they have spare in which case their budget should be reduced.
Personally, I think it's a combination of the two.
But either way, when you negotiate in good faith with the Trump administration, then they declare a national emergency anyway, you don't negotiate and give on certain areas as is the norm in a negotiation again.
Trump is just making blunder after blunder.
He could have had 5 times the amount he claims it will cost to build the wall, but he's such a bad negotiator he's only got 55 miles of the wall now, so he's had to bypass Congress and the constitution to get his funding.
His incompetence is starting to get embarrassing and I'm not even American.
