If Schumer and Pelosi agree to ANY funding for Trump's boondoggle, they need to be removed from leadership.
This is an environmental disaster. Will destroy need habitat along the border and wreck the multi-billion dollar ecotourism industry.
GROW A SPINE. Don't sacrifice our border areas. IF you do, you have my full contempt.

No deals on border walls (Original Post)

(90,556 posts)1. I believe Nancy P has already said that the Wall is a no-go & DACA kids are not bargaining chips.
Schumer is not the Senate majority leader, but since when has he given ground on these issues?
I don't see the need to huff and puff over spinal strength, especially Nancy Pelosi's.

Pelosi, Schumer to meet with Trump, offer $1.3 billion for border as shutdown looms
Democratic leaders plan to offer President Trump $1.3 billion in funding for a border fence when they meet Tuesday at the White House, a bid that falls far short of the $5 billion Trump is demanding to fund a border wall.
Democrats, Republicans and the White House have until Dec. 21 to reach a budget deal if they are to avert a partial government shutdown, but talks are deadlocked over funding for the wall.
Bulldozers are posed to destroy the National Butterfly Center and Bentsen Rio Grande State Park based on that funding.

So MORE huffing and puffing is needed.

Just like Schumer and Pelosi. They sold out the border communities last year, and are posed to FUCKING DO IT AGAIN.
