That 5 percent are crossing through legal ports of entry. A wall won't stop them.bmw wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 9:59 amSo the 5% of border crossers who are drug smugglers, gangsters, terrorists, and rapists -- is that an insignificant number in your opinion?Lester The Nightfly wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 12:35 amIn other words, you're like 95% of the folks entering from the southern border.

The fact remains that the vast majority came here legally and overstated their visas...

Re: Predictions on how and when the shutdown ends
Humpty Trumpty wanted a wall.
Humpty Trumpty took a great fall.
And all Putin’s horses, and all Putin’s men -
Couldn’t put Trumpty together, again!
Humpty Trumpty whined for his wall.
Humpty Trumpty started to howl.
And all in the congress, and Mitch hiding out -
Made federal workers riot - and shout.
Humpty Trumpty failed at his wall.
But Humpty Trumpty still had his gaul.
He banged a few hookers, and watched his TV -
‘Til the next prez election, when Trump lost - bigley!

Re: Predictions on how and when the shutdown ends
i speak from experience: when i got very sick last year, i ended up in the hospital, but thanks to my (admittedly high) taxes, i didn't go bankrupt due to medical bills. we also don't have as big of a gun violence problem as the united states, because of our very strict laws regarding guns.Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 10:42 amSo, tell me, Fox (using as small as possible words) what some of those perks are that make it a better life?RingtailedFox wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 8:51 pmsnarky response: we're not that thrilled with what we see south of the border these days... maybe we *should* have a wall of our own!Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 10:20 amAnyone see the irony in that talking to people for this wall, is like talking TO a wall?

Re: Predictions on how and when the shutdown ends
It's a symbol of Trump's strength. He doesn't care about the wall as much as the idea he came up with all by himself, which his less than bright mob of followers may or may not think will work.
To the supremists it's a symbol of white power. To the lower class it's a symbol of sticking it to the Man. To Republican leadership it is a symbol of their power. To the Democrats it's a waste of money, yet no one is crying outraged at the 1.2 trillion dollars missing at the Pentagon.
Anyone with a third grade education can understand what the image below represents.

Re: Predictions on how and when the shutdown ends
Back to the topic of this thread. Predictions on how and when Trump’s shutdown ends.
Back on January 8th my prediction was that the shutdown ends when too many TSA screeners and security personnel call in sick and flights become grounded.
I stand by that prediction today - right here - on January 17th.
Not that TSA is ever very good at finding weapons. Survey after survey shows hidden weapons and bombs often go through TSA checkpoints undetected.
Still - got to go through the motion of screening in order to take off.

Re: Predictions on how and when the shutdown ends
On second thought - Tump’s in so much legal trouble right now - with his ex lawyer ready to testify before congress that Trump directed him to lie to congress - Trump might quit.
His kids are implicated in the lie before congress, too. As Ivanka and Trump Junior - according to MC - had major rolls to play in the secret Moscow Trump Tower plans. All of which were ongoing well into Trump’s presidency.
So maybe this all ends with Tump saying “I’m taking my toys and going home!” He’d resign under the guise “You don’t appreciate me, America!”
Grounded planes ending the shutdown pale as motivation in comparison to Trump being outed for suborning perjury.

Re: Predictions on how and when the shutdown ends
How can anyone - especially those who voted for Trump - think he’s a good president? He’s mentally ill and THE most corrupt, treasonous, unprincipled, anti-American, know nothing, thin skinned, compromised, voluminous liar ever to plop his ass into the chair at the resolute desk. Maybe as more republican lawmakers turn on Trump publically his voters will wise up and turn on him, as well.
Maybe General Mattis can give them some pointers.
I do think Lindsay Graham will stick with Trump until the bitter end. During their infamous golf game - after which bachelor Graham seemed to become Trump’s lap dog - I think it highly likely Trump showed Graham photos or communications Graham does not want anyone to see.

Re: Predictions on how and when the shutdown ends
No one knows when it will end. But, when it does, Trump will say "It was the best shutdown ever."
