Why is it that the libtards(sans Tibs) here never contribute for the luxury of posting here? You are like a bunch of welfare moms, expecting everything for free. Typical.

That's all well and good, but most members of congress have been there so long that they are millionaires. Probably wouldn't affect them a whole lot.
Even MORE reason that they should be the first without a paycheck during a shutdown THEY control. TSA workers are working for free, but those in Congress remain paid??
It's wrong on every level.
Even Oterrorist's Border Patrol Chief knows that the southern border is a problem.

Inhofe Announces Bill to Fully Fund Border Wall
Thursday, November 1, 2018
U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) announced today that he was introducing the WALL Act, legislation that would fully fund the border wall along the southern border. His legislation is also the first bill that will fund the wall by identifying specific funding sources.
“We need to build the wall along the southern border—President Trump has called for the wall and I agree. As a former builder and developer in south Texas I know border security is national security and we need to do more to deter the growing numbers of unauthorized immigrants coming across our borders. That’s why I’ve outlined specific ways to fund the border wall by assessing penalties on illegal immigration and closing loopholes that allow unauthorized immigrants to receive federal benefits. We’re going to build the wall through new sources of funds by protecting the integrity of hardworking American citizens’ tax dollars.”
Inhofe’s legislation will fully fund the President’s $25 billion border wall while providing specific ways to pay for it:
Require a work-authorized Social Security Number (SSN) to claim refundable tax credits, like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Child Tax Credit:
Currently only the child needs a SSN, not the parent benefiting from the refundable child tax credit. My bill would require the parent to have a valid work-eligible social security number.
Before 2003, the Social Security Agency did not distinguish between work-eligible and non-work eligible SSNs. Therefore, there are individuals benefiting from the EITC they are not authorized to receive because they are non-work eligible.
Require welfare applicants (food stamps, TANF, HUD, etc) to verify citizenship:
Currently someone only needs to “declare” citizenship and provide a SSN to receive some of these benefits.
Inhofe’s bill requires states verify citizenship prior to granting benefits using E-verify and require a work-authorized SSN for eligibility.
Increasing the minimum fines on illegal border crossers.
This legislation is designed to complement the Asylum Abuse Reduction Act that Sen. Inhofe introduced in August, legislation that will address immigration loopholes to improve the integrity of the asylum process. The United States experienced a 234 percent increase in asylum applications from 2014 to 2016, generating a backlog in our immigration courts. That number is expected to increase.
The Asylum Abuse Reduction Act would:
Require migrants declare asylum at our embassies/consulates in Mexico or Canada before entering the United States:
Currently, migrants who cross the border illegally and declare asylum are released pending credible fear screenings and other legal procedures, but rarely show up for proceedings – never completing the asylum process.
The dramatic increase in asylum claims, as urged by smugglers, creates a huge strain on our resources, a backlog in the immigration process and most migrants don’t show up for their court date.
The Asylum Abuse Reduction Act requires individuals seeking asylum to have their preliminary credible fear screening at an embassy or consulate outside the United States prior to being considered for admittance for asylum purposes.
Create a criminal bench warrant for immigrants that have failed to appear for immigration court:
Currently, when illegal immigrants fail to show up for court, their information is not entered into police databases.
With Inhofe’s bill, if migrants don’t appear for court, they will be given a bench warrant so if they are stopped for an unrelated offense, like speeding, there will be a warrant for them in the system for violating immigration law.
Create a pilot program for alternatives to detention:
The Flores decision says that we can’t detain illegal immigrants with children or families for more than 20 days. Currently, that usually means they are released pending trial – and then fail to appear.
Inhofe’s bill establishes a pilot program that would allow families to be released to a qualified organization, contracted with the federal government, to ensure migrants comply with immigration proceedings.

Holy ****. No bench warrant for being here illegally and skipping your hearing? That is ridiculous.
Never work. Princess Pelosi has spoken.

It's absolutely amazing to me that the party of free healthcare & education for all won't give the POTUS $5.7 billion for border wall funding. It's literally a drop in the bucket.
So drug smugglers were just caught trying to smuggle 700 lbs of cocaine across the southern border in an area where a barrier has not been built.

That's also a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of the drug-smuggling racket, but how many times do you think this has happened before because there's no barrier and not enough security at the border?

I know, but something you know.
Well. Now that I think about it. Didn’t that new chick, you know for NY ***** when she won “where’s my new home and paycheck bs”. So not all would be happy about not getting a check

The overinflated housing prices, the massive state income tax, the increasing property taxes, the huge gasoline tax (now more than 60 cents per gallon), and the ridiculously-high sales tax in LA County (raised to 9.75% in 1994 as an "emergency" measure and never lowered to its pre-"emergency" level thereafter) make the place crushing for the middle and upper middle class.
It's a great place to be poor, with massive giveaways, welfare, public assistance, school lunches, "free" health care (meaning you don't pay for it, but I do), blah-dee-*******-blah, but a terrible place to work and earn a genuine living.
Oh, and my new home has one problem I guess - trespassers. Here they were again just yesterday:

Yeah, this is really a must-have. Well worth shutting down the federal government so long as Trump can't have his way.

Funny, I could have sworn Trump offered the Dems everything they wanted in a compromise yesterday to open the government back up and they still refused. I wonder why? Here's a hint. Because the Dems don't give a ******* rats *** about immigrants, legal or illegal. It's all talk. They only want to **** over Trump and they are more than willing to **** over the American people to do it. They are complete phonies.
move along, please
