Some people believe increasing border security and funding to reduce crime, reduce sex trafficking, and better protect border agents and law enforcement as good.

- lowercased 8y agoThere's been little disagreement about the broader idea of "increasing border security". Poll I saw the other day showed (IIRC) something like 80%+ of polled people saw a need for 'increased border security'. The phrase is incredibly broad. What is in dispute is what to spend money on, but I suspect you already know that.
- danso 8y agoBorder security is part of all the previously passed funding resolutions.
- JamesBarney 8y agoIt seems like the two things that should be taken under consideration when taking the government hostage is, "is it worth it", and "can we win". I personally don't think border security is that important but I understand lots of people feel differently. But I really don't think the Republicans can win this argument. When they controlled both houses and the presidency they couldn't pass the wall funding. So I'm not sure why they think they can do it after losing the houses. Especially since this politically hurts them among independents far more than it hurts the Democrats.
