to Dem Wall Negotiators: Remember, Repukes probably don't really want a wall.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Follow the money and power:

1. US employers/ranchers/farmers NEED workers

2. Immigrants from the southern border NEED/WANT jobs w/ higher wages

3. US employers/ranchers AREN'T penalized for hiring.

4. Why? Because they need the workers and they elect Repuke congresspeople and local officials who make sure there's no enforcement.

5. Path to citizenship? Hell no.

6. Why? Because they will likely vote Democratic.

7. Immigration In - at a low.

8. So, US Employers/Ranchers/Farmers need more people.

9. So, Why would they want to curtail the flow with a wall?

Unless the whole thing is a scam (including President Dingbat) to appease the non-rancher/farmer population that hate foreigners???

1. Yes. And one more reason

Illegals are useful to Republicans as something to fear. When people are afraid, they are easy to control. If you can convince them that you’re their only hope against scary brown people, they will let you screw them over completely and still vote for you.

3. And that can co-exist with actually employing too

My FIL is a total fox wingut but treats his undocumented immigrant workers like family and has spent lots of $$ to get them legal. For 15 years..to no avail.

2. McConnell can end the shut down by passing the Senate bill that was unanimous

a few weeks ago and over ride trump’s veto.

Dems do not need to negotiate the wall.

4. Off topic..but yes you are right
