Now that DACA will remain untouched for another year and many of us will be protected into 2020, the sense of urgency is gone. Tbh fuck trump! Fuck his wall and any win for him!
25 billion wasn’t enough for us! Heartless asshole

People need to stop throwing this $25 billion excuse. For crying out loud do you’re research. You guys want to act like if the Democrats went to Trump and handed him a check for $25 billion upfront and that was the end.
No!
Democrats did offer $25 billion, HOWEVER only $1 billion out of $25 billion was going to be paid upfront, the rest the government couldn’t guaranteed because it’s not set up to guarantee that’s why that deal was a non starter for Trump.
Trump wants his wall now, what good would a $25 billion non guaranteed deal would do for him years after he’s out of office? That’s why this deal didn’t work out.
Let’s please stop believing that the Democrats offered him a $25 billion check upfront.
