What would be a reasonable compromise on this wall issue ?

i want productive suggestions without calling anyone a treasontrump or libtard. and i dont want any arguments why it should be build or why not...

make a suggestion how to solve this dilemma in a way that makes the other side look good. you dont want to "win" you want a compromise and that will hurt you.

Disclaimer: the joke with build only half a wall i claim for myself.

Though his speech is over, I had the thought that he'd have said, "Here's a deal...fund/build and take care of the wall. As loathed as I am, and the many venues I'm dealing with, I will for a number of reasons, resign". I voted for him, but had that happened I'd be OK with it.
As for now, the Democrats, particularly Schumer (D-NY) who in 2009 decried illegal immigrants and asking for better ways of dealing with it, has turned around on the issue. He needs to be hounded. I think had the fence and partition that the Israelis put up to repulse Palestinians from coming into Israel, something I think (though don't know) most likely would have been OK or was OK with him -Schumer)) I don't know where Schumer, a supporter of Israel was ON THAT WALL! Anyone want to chime in on THAT?

That’s not answering the question, and it’s tossing a bunch of other stuff into the ring as well.
That said, if 45 agreed to resign, I’d support pretty much anything, even money for his wall - maybe even the 5 billion. It’s not going to be built for a decade or more anyway, and since he hasn’t brought in a designer, just contractors, it’ll be a piece of crap.

Schumer and Pelosi need to get off their butts as well, but that’s hard with 45 (who said he’d be happy to take the hit for closing the government for border security) making a Jimmy Carter-sequel ass of himself. (I liked Jimmy, but he wasn’t a great president, and staying in the Rose Garden until the hostages were returned was a stunt equally as stupid as the POSIC trying to look presidential by staying in Washington during the shutdown.)

Most Democrats are just as supportive of border security as most Republicans - the difference is that our inept Dear Leader promised his base a wall, so for him (and then), “border security” ONLY means this long wall of dubious value.
Both sides are making political hay, and the actual politicians are better at it than the bad businessman with no history of public service, so of COURSE they’re going to wait him out.
It disgusts me, because virtually ANY compromise from the White House could serve to break the impasse, but since he INSISTS on ONLY 5+B for “some kind of barrier” (because that’s what his base insists on), there’s nothing to compromise WITH.

Which is why we’re on this thread.
