Does this hashtag have a filtering option in between "Legal" and "Americans?" I think some people in this thread will find it useful.Quote:

Here in Phoenix, we know who they are and so does ICE. They just don't care enough to bust them.
So are you suggesting the government has an unlimited amount of money to do whatever it wants? There’s no opportunity cost?Quote:

Nope, never said anything close to that nonesense. We can come up with dozens of ways to spend $5 billion, but none of them have anything to do with building a wall on our southern border.Quote:

What is interesting through this whole Shutdown thing is that Trump has been working as President while not taking a paycheck. He said he was serving as President gratis when he took office, so he isn't being paid either.Quote:

Time to declare a National Emergency and end this Tomfoolery.

Welp, REALLY. They ARE getting paid. If they choose to donate, great, but that doesn't disprove my statement. And who's pockets are being lined? I'd guess that the Lobbyists haven't stopped paying Legislators for influence.Quote:

He's a billionaire, every Congress person is quite well off, and at the end of the day the shutdown is their collective faults. No credit to any of these hacks for not getting paid from their own failures. If it was a sacrifice worth getting credit for than they might have been motivated to find a resolution by now.Quote:
