If it were a president other then Donald Trump, I would see a good reason for people who want border security to be alarmed. Since it is an agreement between President Trump and the Democrats, I am not concerned.
The agreement re-opens the government for 15 days, pays the federal workers and begins the negotiating process on border security that includes barriers.
If the Democrats still won't negotiate in "good faith" (as President Trump put it yesterday), another shutdown can take place or Trump can use his emergency executive powers to get barriers along the border built.
Some fellow conservatives are complaining that Trump "caved" and, naturally, the left-wing media are also claiming the same. But I don't see it that way.
Pelosi and Schumer had said on a number of occasions that unless the government is re-opened, no negotiations will take place. Here's where we'll see if they are really willing to act in "good faith".
Trump is calling their bluff. That's the way I see it.
