Here's an interesting take on Trump's move
~John Warren
"Did anyone actually LISTEN to Trump's statement from the Rose Garden?!! He agreed to sign a CR for just 3 more weeks, to give the House the time to pass the bill they passed in December. If they fail ...again... these next 3 weeks, then the CR will expire..again. He will declare a state of emergency, and CLOSE the borders. There will be no flights into and out of Cancun and Cozumel.. no ships for Mexico will be allowed at any port of the US,from Washington state to Maine. Food..produce, beef, cheese, etc,.....will be sitting in trucks on the border, rotting. Auto parts made in Mexico, will not be shipped here. Those plants will lay off workers. Union auto plants in the US..the darlings of the Democrats, will be laying off union workers. Mexicans along the border that have LEGAL visas to come work here every day,will not be allowed in. Mexico's economy will be crippled in a matter of weeks. Mexico's president will call Trump to find out what they can do to re-open the border. I am sure, he will say: " The price will be $5.7 billion. The sooner you cough it up, the sooner we can get the wall built, THEN we will re-open the border." Really won't matter then, about the budget bill containing funding for the wall. However, I suspect before Mexico calls, the Democrat reps in districts with union auto plants, will vote for the budget. 6 Dems voted with us last week to pass the bill that passed the House in December. This week, 13 did. We only need 8 more Dems to vote for the bill, and I suspect those votes will come from representatives of the auto plant districts. Trump has check-mated Paloosey. She is finished, and doesn't have the sense to understand it. Old-school, establishment Democrats in the House, will launch an effort to replace the speaker, and will need GOP house members to support their new choice. And how do they get that? By WORKING with the House GOP members."
