As of tomorrow, it will be the longest government shutdown on record. The negotiating positions so far:
* Democrats: The wall is racist
* Trump: The wall is necessary to stop an emergency
Unfortunately, there's no give in either position. If a $5 billion wall is racist, a $1 wall will be racist too. Or if it's a national emergency, then anything less than full funding is an existential threat to the country. The narrative on immigration reform has been completely lost, as usual.
The groundhog saw his shadow, looks like 6 more weeks of shutdown.
