The Republicans’ Shutdown Strategy

The Republican party controlled the entire government for two years and they didn't allocate any money for the "wall". Every news article and podcast should mention this fact. The GOP is trying to paint the Democratic party as a party that has shut down the government and cannot govern. The GOP is as disingenuous, bullying, irresponsible and reckless as ever. The media should point it out. The media plays by GOP rules.

Funding the wall via declaring a state of emergency is one thing; eminent domain is another. Can the government use its power of eminent domain to build the wall? Just wondering. How long Mr. Trump and the Defense Department need to acquire the land on which the wall will be built? Again, just wondering.

These talks are always so informative - Thanks. Holding government employees hostage in this way is completely unacceptable. Open the government, and debate immigration reform in an informed and reasonable manner.
