Subject: Re: Schumer to reintroduce border bill
This analogy would work if we had an avalanche of tax cheats and the IRS was powerless to stop it...and we had had a raft of Republicans calling for cheating...and so on and so forth.

How do you know this isn't happening? The IRS usually pledges to audit more millionaires but does it actually do that. Millionaires know how to get their voices heard relatively silently.

What's unusual at the moment is that gangs are advertising on social media in countries - the price to get to the US border from China is $20,000. They fly into Ecuador and come up from there. It isn't unusual for gangs.cartels to branch out and make money in other areas. In Mexico they operate mines without safety gear, etc., and its easy steady income.

The current bill that Schumer is fronting is not it

It was a great start and you killed it, and all for Trump.

The "no compromise" tea party theme has captured the Republican party. It's like trying to pilot a boat with the anchors in the water. I'm used to not getting what I want, but y'all have been kvetching about the border since 2006 and nothing has happened. What happens when Trump is in power? We gave huge tax breaks to the rich. Congratulations on your few extra miles of border wall. It's hard to do anything with 70 million boat anchors in the water.
