The House speaker included several border security measures her party would support, including increased infrastructure investments at ports of entry, advanced technology to detect drugs and other contraband and increased customs personnel and immigration judges.

"Next week, Democrats will pass a package of six bills agreed to by House and Senate negotiators and other legislation to re-open government so that we can fully negotiate on border security proposals. The President must sign these bills to re-open government immediately and stop holding the American people hostage with this senseless shutdown," Pelosi said.

a bill to reopen the govt without the wall, is about as likely to pass as the republican bills a few years ago, to defund obamacare. a waste of time.

trumps compromise
also called for
anti drug detection, improvements at ports of entry, and
more asylum court judges. his compromise had all that. plus the wall.

he offered a compromise. as you said, elections have consequences, and he’s an azz for not doing this two years ago. and the democrats are now opposed to the wall they supported in 2006 and 2013. both sides are jerks. we need to elect different kinds of people.
