Tell that to the widow and 5-month old child that officer Singh left behind for Christs sake. His death means nothing more than a campaign buzz word, there simply can't be any benefit to responding to the events that led to his death.

NO BANK is going to foreclose on the home of a federal worker who isn't getting paid. That will happen zero times, because that bank would lose all its customers the next day, and they would deserve to do so.

These people will be suffering, no doubt - bills piling up, credit card debt increasing, etc. In fact, when they get back pay, they should be compensated for credit card interest accrued from the shutdown, I'd be happy to pay for that.

The state of CT is offering taxpayer-guaranteed, interest-free loans to federal workers. The taxpayers will pay for whoever defaults. All states should do this.

Quoting tragedies which represent a very small fraction of similar offenses by us born citizens regardless of color, doesn’t change my level of disgust over a campaign buzz word.

most people don’t commit murder, we still pass laws against it.

Well, those murder laws apply to people here illegally as well.

how about the violence against people trying to cross? that’s not rare, and a wall would help

Likely would just make crossers more dependent on organized crime to get through.

it will
also create choke points, which can be staffed with law enforcement, reducing crime. and again, where there are barriers, there is reduced illegal crossing, and less resultant crime.

more will get killed by illegals, than will lose homes because of the shutdown. so when it suits you, you’re in favor of basing policy decisions on rare extremes.

You totally just made this up. Earlier today Trump said his wall would cut crime in the US in half. Beyond being a rediculous thing to said he clearly likes to just make things up also.

yes it was speculation, like when you said trump damaged the democracy.

i can defend my speculation. you can’t. our democracy will get past him just fine.

of
course it won’t cut us crime in half, that’s absurd.

Correct, we aren't back in the 1930s. But many people live paycheck to paycheck. At the same time, there will be all kinds of forgiveness of loans, no one is going to have their home foreclosed because they missed a couple of paychecks. I mean they might miss payments, but banks will grant extensions, they have to, to avoid brutal public backlash.
