A 51 Foot Ladder

My son came up with an excellent analogy the other day when we were discussing (arguing) about the “battle over the wall” now raging in DC. He said that, “If Trump builds a 50 foot wall, that’ll just spark sales of 51-foot ladders.” He was right about that, except wrong to blame President Trump exclusively for the “standoff” that has kept the government (partly) shut down. Trump has told the world what he insisted upon many times, and the Dumocrats are adamantly opposed to it. It was their decision to BE opposed to it because Trump asked for it. Before, they all agreed that a wall was necessary. And they were right. Yes, there are ways over ANY wall. But they do make it harder for illegal aliens to get into this country unnoticed. And coupled with other means, they can be very effective. But if they’re not there, they cannot. He blames both sides. And to some degree, he’s right. There might be a better way, but I can’t see one—and neither apparently, does President Trump. That’s why he is so insistent. The Dumocrats are wrong because all they want do is stop EVERYTHING Trump wants to do. That’s their entire motivation, and they don’t care if they ruin the lives of many government employees. Trump wants to improve our defenses against being “invaded” by illegal aliens, and a wall is just PART of that, but an important part. The Dumocrats’ ONLY motivation is obstruction, and they need to be beaten, and beaten badly. (Just common sense)
