    Durbin offers dour assessment for immigration talks ahead of Jan. 19 deadline to avert government shutdown. “President Trump has said he may need a good government shutdown to get his wall. With this demand, he seems to be heading in that direction."

        Is it true that in retaliation for Mexico "having to pay for the wall" as Trump promises, Mexico is buying all soy, corn & wheat (or something else) from South America (Argentina), costing US farmers billions? If so, why isn't this big news? Or is it false?

        Replying to @Tweeter_MyCat @mkraju @IndivisibleChi

        That is true. Mexico is looking for more amenable trading partners. Also, farmers are having issues with labor shortages, with produce rotting on the vines, because Americans don't seem to want those jobs. Shocking. Not.

        Look for food prices to sky rocket. Inflation should really take off over the next few months. Get ready. Pay off debt with variable interest rates.

        No one should bend to the will of this administration. They are completely out of control and are not working in any of the people's best interests. #shutdown

        It appears he abandoned the thought of Mexico buying him such a wall.

        I'm fine with this. Shut the whole damn thing down until Trump is gone. The federal government being shut down would be a benefit over this plunder the Treasury for their donors plan they currently have going on.

        Every Dem and most Reps from border states. Not to mention Reps who are representing their constituents. Have a question for the IRS because everything changed (for example)? Good luck with that. Trump want wall. Trump want wall. BAAAA
