Simply put, republicans are putting up BS offers for Trump's wall. I sometimes think republicans don't want the wall either with all this BS they're putting in as a "compromise." They'd rather Trump declare a national emergency, get shot down by the courts then just shrug and say "sorry Mr. President, we tried." It'll attempt to greatly expand the powers of the executive branch.

But that opens up a whole new Pandora's box. A democratic president can claim gun violence / climate change / etc as a national emergency.
