David Nierenberg is a smart guy. It is disingenuous for his letter on Jan. 9 to praise Jaime Herrera Beutler for the idea of the Democrats giving on border security and the Republicans giving on DACA, when that was actually agreed to by Trump and six bipartisan senators in 2018. Then Trump changed his mind.
Many others have made similar suggestions prior to Herrera Beutler’s “proposal.” Even though border security would be more improved by high technology and increased number of border patrol agents, I would be happy to give him his money for the unnecessary wall, just to get on with the government working if the DACA recipients were on their path to citizenship and it couldn’t be changed.
