President Trump and Republicans just ran the most virulently xenophobic midterm election campaign in recent memory, closing on a message that plastered the country with dark and terrifying imagery depicting immigrants as violent criminal invaders. They were rewarded by an epic wipeout: The Democrats’ national lead in House votes is now nearly 10 million, the largestraw vote margin in U.S. history.
Are we seriously debating whether Trump is going to get billions and billions of dollars for a wall on the southern border?
New reporting indicates that Trump continues to demand his wall, and that the resulting standoff could still prompt a government shutdown. This week, Congress is expected to pass a short-term spending measure keeping the government open for two weeks past the Dec. 7 deadline, but after that, Trump is still signaling that he’ll force a showdown just before the end of the year.
A protracted government shutdown may or may not happen -- it probably won’t -- but let’s be clear on this one point: Democrats simply must not allow the results of this standoff to muddy the meaning of last month’s elections.
The battle right now centers not just on how much money Congress will give Trump, but also on what counts as funding for a “wall.” Democrats and Republicans on a key Senate committee have already reached an agreement to provide an additional $1.6 billion in border security money, but with restrictions against building a wall. Trump has been demanding at least $5 billion in unfettered wall money. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats insist that Trump must accept the lesser figure.
Democrats have offered Trump that, or another alternative: A one-year continuing resolution for Department of Homeland Security spending at a slightly lower level of $1.3 billion with the same restrictions. House Democrats have declined so far to endorse the $1.6 billion appropriation, but they do support the $1.3 billion continuing resolution.
The complicating factor is the question over what that $1.6 billion -- or that $1.3 billion -- would actually pay for. Some immigrants’ rights advocates recently tore into Schumer over the $1.6 billion offer, arguing that it amounted to a cave on Trump’s wall. But the picture is more complicated than this. ...
Democrats must shore up the notion that the midterms represented an unambiguous public rejection of his xenophobic nationalism. Republicans ran despicable race-baiting ads across the country that echoed Trump’s own message, which employed all kinds of lies about migrants and asylum seekers to portray them as a malicious, destructive, invasive force. He even used the military as a prop to bolster the GOP’s campaign propaganda. Democratic polling showed that voters roundly rejected this message.
At a time when our out-of-control president is basing all kinds of consequential policy decisions on fictions, hallucinations, and naked self-interest, the incoming House Democratic majority must also try to restore a sense of empiricism and good-faith information gathering to the governing process. Trump continues to demand a wall that everyone knows is https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/ap-fact-check-trump-exaggerates-cost-of-illegal-immigration/2018/12/04/d1f425b8-f823-11e8-8642-c9718a256cbd_story.html?utm_term=.bc86c2fbaebc (based on fake)https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/09/11/president-trumps-claim-that-a-wall-will-stop-much-of-the-drugs-from-pouring-into-this-country/?utm_term=.2c794bef0ed1 (policy justifications) and is all about delivering a “win” that his rally crowds -- representing his ever-shrinking base -- can roar about.
Voters soundly rejected Trump’s closing hate message and bottomless bad faith in governing. Democrats should unambiguously stand for a rejection of them as well.
