Why Trump didn’t build the wall when Republicans controlled Congress
It wasn’t only Democrats who had doubts about the structure.
By David A. Hopkins | January 25, 2019 at 6:00 a.m. EST
The construction of a physical barrier along the Mexican border has been Donald Trump’s signature issue since he hit the campaign trail in 2015 and led repeated chants of “Build the wall!” After Trump won, he enjoyed two years when his fellow Republicans controlled both the Senate and House of Representatives. But he only began to insist on billions in wall funding after Democrats captured the House, precipitating the longest federal shutdown in U.S. history. If the border wall was as important to Trump as he says, why didn’t Republicans provide the funds while they ruled Capitol Hill?
The answer to this political mystery is that the wall has never been a top priority for most Republicans. And their stance reflects limited enthusiasm for its construction among conservative policy-makers and voters alike. An American public that has serious concerns about immigration in general nevertheless remains unconvinced that a wall would solve the problems it perceives. As a result, Republican politicians apparently calculated that they’d be better off if the electorate continued to express broad anxiety about the border than if lawmakers actually tried to impose an unpopular solution.
This dynamic reflects a larger, enduring attribute of American politics. For more than 50 years, scholars have noted that the public collectively leans to the right in its general predispositions even as it prefers left-of-center positions on most individual policies; voters are philosophically conservative and operationally liberal. For example, 53 percent of Americans agree that the federal government has “too much power,” according to a recent Gallup survey, compared with just 8 percent who believe that it has too little. But the Pew Research Center found that a majority of Americans opposed budget cuts in every one of 14 specific policy areas, including health care, education, environmental protection, and aid to the needy; on 12 of the items, the number of respondents who supported spending increases even outnumbered those who preferred reductions. As a rule, then, Republican politicians benefit strategically by sounding broad rhetorical themes rather than discussing the details of their favored policies.
Trump has created the current crisis by ignoring that calculation and forcing a national debate over the unpopular wall, in an even more politically uncongenial situation than the one he faced a year ago. As then House Speaker Newt Gingrich discovered in 1996 after a similar confrontation with President Bill Clinton over cuts to federal entitlement programs, this is not a formula for success.
In the rhetorical battle over the shutdown, Trump is casting Democrats as the impediment to both the wall and a re-opened government. But the main obstacle t

Democrats aren't.
Here's what's in your $118 Billion so-called "Border Security" package...
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/senators-unveil-bipartisan-bill-overha
ul-immigration-system-israel/story?id=106934667
- $60.6 Billion more for Ukraine. (51.5% of the funds)
- $14.1 Billion more for Israel. (12% of the funds)
- $10 Billion more for "Humanitarian Assistance". (8.5% of the funds)
- $4.83 Billion for Indio-Pacific Support. (4% of the funds)
That's less than 1/4 of the money in the "Border Security Package" left to actually go toward "Border Security", or even to be spent in America in general even if little of that money was actually going to be spent on what they claim they're going to spend it on.
Calling this the Border Security Package is like Donald Trump getting 24% of the vote on election day and then being awarded the Presidency.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., who served in the House with Johnson and discussed the Senate border deal with him last week, conceded that it’s a politically tricky issue for Republicans to touch during an election year and that it most likely doesn’t have backing from a majority of the 219-member House GOP conference.
“Here’s the issue that the speaker has: He can’t bring a bill to the floor without the majority of the majority. At this point, it’s very tough to say that the House has a majority of the majority to bring it to the floor,” Mullin told reporters after meeting with Johnson. “You have a lot of people up for re-election, and the perception of the American people is that it’s bad. So it’s really hard to get ahead of that.”

Cruz: Senate Border Bill Codifies Biden's Open Border, Pays Off Sanctuary Cities

Yup. Not only did the $118 Billion "Border Security" bill give 76% of that money to foreign countries, but it allows 4,999 illegal alien invaders to come into our country every single day in perpetuity.
Nobody is buying the Media's, Joe Biden*'s and Democrat's bullshit anymore.
You'd better stop lying so hard to the American public. You are aware that election season started, aren't you?
