Subject: Re: Appaling
We keep telling them we want:

* a border wall
We are building more of the wall. A large number of "illegals" fly in, overstay their Visa, and stay here. How is the wall going to help with that? It doesn't.

* more security You mean border agents? That request is in the bill.

* more deportations
If you supply more processing, more people get deported earlier. So processing helps.

* a sharply narrowed definition of who is permitted to claim "asylum" status, which is how most illegals scheme their way into the country

Add that they must have applied and been denied in countries they pass through and you can deport a lot quicker. It's a reasonable request that narrows those allowed in. You can make reasonable exceptions.

But there is no incentive for Republicans to come to the table if you are easily manipulated into blaming Democrats.
