Pelosi and Schumer have made the absurd statements that a wall is immoral and that there is no "crisis" at our southern Border. Yet Democrats voted for a physical barrier until Trump was elected. The far left have actually called for abolishing ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.The most informed among all of us are law enforcement and border agents and they tell us that a "crisis" does exist and there is an absolute need for a physical barrier; preferably with slats at our Southern Border. Thirty percent of the border is currently protected by some sort of physical barrier. Close to 52,000 illegals were apprehended in November, more than 23,000 parents and children were illegally crossing the border in November in the Rio Grande Valley and a reported more than 27,500 crossed the southern Border in December. But the Democrats don't think this is a crisis!And then there are the Republican right-wing anti-immigrant voices who see Trump relenting on the "wall" as a sellout and pushed Trump to shutter the federal government. Eighty-two percent of Americans think there should be term limits for Congress and the present debacle certainly lends credence to that overwhelming opinion. Negotiations should continue while the government is open and running. A compromise should be reached where some type of physical barrier is approved in exchange for protecting the "Dreamers," brought here over the years by their parents.Congress needs to come to their senses and do what is best for this country now, not focus on what Democrats and Republicans want to happen in 2020. They were elected to serve their constituents, and like the president they should not indulge in self-aggrandizing reasons, but should do their job.DEANE A. SHURETilghman</div></body>
