Though I suppose if you "extend" an existing barrier far enough …

"Mr. Trump is set to hold a rally in El Paso on Monday night, using the border city as evidence for his exaggerated claim that a wall would reduce crime." Resistance Times now randomly inserts pejorative adjectives in Trump copy? They don't know how much wall would reduce crime.

McConnell "had persuaded Mr. Trump to agree to a package for border security improvements that consisted mostly of repairs and extensions to existing barriers"? I didn't realize the deal was that bad. https://t.co/Y7Hr43ZsQI

Not so weird. Voters don't like dole for "unwilling." Haven't abandoned work ethic … yet! Intraleft debate may just have encouraged AOC to be too clear. https://t.co/hpydBCbGjy

Current breakdown in shutdown talks–NOT over Trump's wall–reinforces a point made previously: For all its symbolism, a wall doesn't threaten the Dems' immigrant lobbies so much. Wall doesn't deport anyone or disturb migrants already here. It's ICE they hate. https://t.co/OEiKgLa9Ek

Informative. Dems seem to want an Obama-style 'HOME FREE' system for illegal immig.–if you get past the border you're home free! No need to worry about ICE/ deportation unless you commit a serious crime.
Of course 'home free' is a HUGE incentive to try come-or overstay-illegally https://t.co/OEiKgLa9Ek— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) February 10, 2019

Isn't the whole point of UBI to give $$ to people without them having to pass a work test — ie to give money to people "unwilling" to work? https://t.co/2IuSfOBefI

If it's a choice of
a) $1.6B including some new barrier money or
b) $2B, but with Dem "priorities" re-loosening asylum rules and forcing 'catch & release'
I hope Trump will have the sense to prefer (a), despite a lower headline number
(I don't know if that is actually the choice) https://t.co/O3uhTxeo0T— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) February 10, 2019
