Can this fololish deadlock in Washington DC be eliminate by having Politics removed and by getting all sides to agree to?

Doubt it. On Fox News Sunday today, I heard a very reasonable person in Congress suggest a compromise and the Democrat respond with nothing but talking points. It is clear that Democrats want Trump to fail far more than they want the country to succeed.

Just declare the national emergency, and then veto every DNC legislation that comes through.

20 years ago, I might have agreed with you. But the division has produced two different ideologies. The left wants to destroy this country in favor of their utopia and all it's hell. As a conservative, I see no benefit in making a deal with the devil.

These people you mention have already said that a wall will be the only solution to stop the invading people. Walls have been used for centuries, and if they didn't work, they would have been torn down long ago.

No America is too far gone. One side wants Socaliam and Chaos the other side wants to follow the Constitution and rule of Law their is no middle ground.

It would just be better to shoot all of our politicians and burn them in a big pit with 10,000 gallons of jet fuel and start over.

If only the Dems would give Trump $5 Billion when he's offering them more than that for DACA and a 3 year extension to DACA. If only if only, the woodpecker cried, the bark on the tree was a soft as the sky.

see As recent as Jan 2019 Below is the whole section on “border fences and walls,” as preserved on the Internet Archive before it was scrubbed sometime after the union president, Brandon Judd, visited the White House. The union is known as the NBPC, or the National Border Patrol Council. NBPS stands for National Border Patrol Strategy; the union argues that the overarching strategy needs to change. The archived website says: The NBPC disagrees with wasting taxpayer money on building fences and walls along the border as a means of curtailing illegal entries into the United States. However, as long as we continue to operate under the current NBPS and ignore the problem that is causing illegal immigration, we realize fences and walls are essential. Walls and fences are temporary solutions that focus on the symptom (illegal immigration) rather than the problem (employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens). Walls and fences are only a speed bump. People who want to come to the United States to obtain employment will continue to go over, under, and around the walls and fences that are constructed. Walls and fences will undoubtedly result in an increase in fraudulent documents and smuggling through the Ports of Entry. Walls and fences do not solve the issue of people entering the country legally and staying beyond the date they are required to leave the country, a problem which will undoubtedly increase as more walls and fences are constructed. The NBPC position regarding walls and fences is not due to a concern of losing our jobs if fences and walls are built. On the contrary, the NBPC realizes that walls and fences require just as much manpower to protect them. Border Patrol Agents witness what happens to walls and fences when there are not enough Border Patrol agents to protect them. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/01/trump-nbpc/580237/

You think that people who are narrowly focused on a specific problem in a specific place are better suited to balance competing national priorities and will act without bias? Perhaps you should not sprinkle so much angel dust on your weed.

Trump has informed us he knows more about just about everything than every one of the people in his administration. Since his own people are against him, not sure where we are going to get together on anything.
