If only Ryan had done this at some point over the past 2 years, we'd have had a wall and might also have an expansion of E-Verify (Goodlatte's bill came close to passing, within arm-twisting range). https://t.co/48Om4zjKSx

Wesley Clark raises the prospect that Trump has taken bribes from foreign countries in his Syria decisons. No evidence. Good to have a solid citizen to turn to on CNN on a heavy news day.

You mean when GOP Congressional leaders really try to whip an immigration-control bill they can pass it? Force people to vote and amazing things happen. Who knew? https://t.co/miQxVE7rBU

House $5.7 B now being considered would NOT restrict the type of wall Trump could build. https://t.co/XHh41TijYn 202 224 3121

Isn't it obvious that Trump pulled out of Syria to distract from his humiliating Wall cave-in?
Another spectacular betrayal and we might end the war in Afghanistan

Juvenile misreporting (or misediting) by @TheHill and @JoeConchaTV. Coulter clearly said Trump's "will just have been a joke presidency" if he doesn't build the wall–not that it *is* a joke presidency. See https://t.co/Qpc6Yz1KzO https://t.co/rOx8Meiozl

True. but a big step forward if the "Remain in Mexico" plan holds together. People who qualify under our standards (whatever they turn out to be) will still get in. Many others just won't come. https://t.co/2ANMzckULU

Krauthammer on the Wall: "It’s hard to understand the opposition. It’s the most venerable & reliable way to keep people out. The triple fence outside San Diego led to a 90 percent reduction in infiltration. Israel’s border fence…has produced a similar decline in terror attacks"

Trump steered to possible "alternative funding" for the wall that, at least in some cases, doesn't appear to exist https://t.co/W0Jla6ihmP

Lucky I'm not on the right! If you wanted legislative progress on immigration control, he was a big part of the problem. https://t.co/PPvxZGyWi3

Is Trump Blowing His Last Chance To Get The Wall? https://t.co/hBgunJgiHp Not sure I agree with @MarksKrikorian that, if SCOTUS ends DACA, Dems will choose to let DACAns twist in the wind in order to have the issue for 2020 (and no wall).

Although only a few months ago Dems (even Gutierrez) seemed to be admitting the wall was maybe not such a horrible thing … https://t.co/wWR1zltB8I https://t.co/wxxCCAgz8k

Thanks for the correction. I think at least Carlson and Ingraham want the wall, which was why their shows yesterday seemed so bizarre. https://t.co/o5kYHDquSj

Sorry, I just don't think it was that hard to pass. You explain why wall is needed, how it works in other countries. You offer Dems something they want in a deal. You don't prioritize Ryan's tax bill–or you say only if a wall. You pay attention to details when Schumer ties up $$ https://t.co/BgfygnWOTR

.@ByronYork did raise an interesting possibility on Baier: Even if Trump's limited to Schumer-approved bollard fence designs, who's to say he can't build two of them, one behind the other? (Do I hear three?) https://t.co/OAvJxvSO6z

CORRECTION: Jeanine Pirro had a short segment with v-little Trump criticism, Bret Baier a better segment that still didn't mark the significance of the Trump cave. I shouldn't say they did "none of that"–but overall, pretty Pravdaesque https://t.co/t82EOjKdsI https://t.co/gCuc5ZEgiY

I should say I didn't see Fox's entire coverage — if anyone saw a story on Trump's climb-down on the wall, please let me know. https://t.co/gCuc5ZEgiY

Kudos to @FoxNews for all the coverage of Trump breaking his central campaign promise on the wall … Oh wait. Sorry. They did none of that.

100 miles would be a good start. But the Schumer-approved bollard design seems inadequate. It's basically what people were easily climbing in Tijuana a couple of weeks ago. https://t.co/0dmHxRc3fV
