Democratic Counter-offer for the wall?

Has there been a Democratic counter-offer for the wall? I heard there was one ($5 billion in border security measures) that I would support, but I am not sure.

I would suggest that the house start deducting money each day from one of his pet projects.

for every dollar Mexico contributes to build it?

Just a joke--Mexico should pay for it all, just as Trump repeatedly promised.

Just another joke--Trump's "promises" are as phony as his hair, and about as serious as his wedding vows.

The Dems take over on Thursday and have bills ready to pass and send to the Senate. Counter offers now would be pointless IMO.

The House is going to pass a continuing resolution on Thursday. That's already been said by Nancy Pelosi. It won't have any funds in it for the wall or anything else connected with it. It will just get the government funded. That will go to the Senate. If they pass it, it will go to Trump. Both Trump and the Senate are Republican, so if they don't re-fund the government, that will be on them.

universal healthcare, debt-free college, and free abortions in every state. Not one red cent for anything less.
