What would you accept for giving Trump his wall?

In all likely Dems will give up some money for border wall or border security to end shutdown. What do we want in return?

NOTHING is acceptable in trade, there will NEVER be a wall if I and others have anything to say about it.

The wall is nothing but a display in racism and hate. It’s not even an effective means to what the proponents of it claim. So in short it would be selling out the very core of American values, it would signal to the world that we are okay with that, and it wouldn’t even stop things like cartel activity.

So there isn’t anything I’d bargain with on it. The thing is the rest of R’s know the wall is a dumbass’s shitty dream. If we can get rid of Trump even by 2020 there won’t be more of this bullshit. Sure 38% of America will still be terrible people but we can’t give in to them now or ever.

The wall is impossible and a disaster for many reasons.

Stop asking how we should give in to a bully for an asinine policy.

If the Democrats give in on the wall, 45 will strut around like a banty rooster. He'll say "I know I said the Mexicans would pay for it. But then I got a better idea--let's make the Democrats pass it."

If the Democrats allow this to pass, they will loose a great deal of the enthusiasm generated in the mid-terms.

... immediate release of all migrant/asylum seekers currently in ICE custody, and the resignation of enough GOP legislators for DEM control of both the House and Senate.
