The media has you so blinded. Step away and read all of the House and Senate bills/votes since mid December. Go on the DHS and Customs & Border Protection websites. All of the reports, news, and “way forward” are in black and white. Here you will see what DHS and CBP are and have been requesting even before Trump made it to office. You may also learn why the “wall” term keeps getting used. I don’t care if he said mexico will pay for it and I don’t care if during his first attempt he placades them by stating he’d own the shutdown. Only a fool takes those words at face value. I care about action and whether you like him or not, Trump is the only one attempting to negotiate. Oddly enough, he included what the Dems have asked for when they first offered $25B! What has Mrs. Speaker put on the table? What did Rep or Americans get in return...an ongoing shutdown! The Dems can’t even pass a complete CR to fund all agencies until February so folks can get paid. 

Look, I’m no longer going to argue over your perception of things. I just ask that you go dig deeper yourself and you’ll realize how twisted up the situation has gotten in an effort to keep Trump looking like the bad guy. I’ll sit back and wait for Pelosi to put an offer on the table...any offer at this point.

That's where we differ. I do care. I care very much. I hold someone to their word, no matter how ridiculous the promise.
