The Democrats are concerned about Trumps tactics, and about how stupid the wall is. They are also concerned about the plight of millions of people hurt by Trumps shutdown. Here is the right counteroffer to end this thing now and get inoculated from a repeat anytime soon:
- A total of $5.7B for border security, a portion of which can be used for new fencing in areas selected by a blue ribbon bi-partisan group of border experts, smart fencing in others, in exchange for DACA and TPS programs restored to their state as of January 20, 2017, and held there in law for a 10 year period.
- Parallel 10 Year Moratorium on Shutdowns And Debt Ceiling fights in this form:
- An automatic C/R active till 2029 that kicks in in the event of a failure to fund operations at current levels;
- Waiver of debt ceiling till 2029
Trump gets his fence and then some, DACA gets made into law instead of an executive order only, everybody looks tough on the border without building too much stupid fence in the wrong places, and the American people get 10 years of relief from this hostage taking approach.
