Explaining Chuck Shumer

The funds for the wall on the southern border have been authorized since 2006. Authorizing funds does nothing at all. Once funding is authorized, it must be then be appropriated before it can be spent. To offer authorization for funding is an empty promise, especially if you are offered authorization for funding by Chuck Shumer. A promise from Chuck Shumer and four dollars will buy a cup of coffee in a cheap restaurant. The same cup of coffee can be bought for three dollars if you discard the Chuck Shumer promise.

Chuck Shumer is spouting a lot of bald-faced lies. He claims that he has offered full funding for the wall and for increased military spending. That is a lie. He has offered authorization for these two items. Once the Republicans request appropriation of the funding, Chuck Shumer and his democrat flunkies will refuse to appropriate the funding. It is obviously a lie. His offer has no value because it does not provide money for the funding.

In addition, his offer is to increase chain migration which is exactly the opposite of what President Trump and the GOP want. He also makes no offer at all addressing the issue of the immigration lottery. So he wants to keep it in place to ensure that we will be totally exposed to infiltration by terrorists, drug dealers and other criminals.

In return for his offer OF NOTHING AT ALL, he wants citizenship for 4 million illegal aliens who have no right to be in this country.

To recap Chuck Shumer’s offer, the Republicans get nothing that they want and the Democrats get everything that they want plus a totally non-functional ongoing immigration system that guarantees that the same circumstances will reoccur.
