What do we call this?

I was going to title this "Return of the Fleebaggers". Remember them? The Wisconsin legislature's democrats who, rather than stay and vote in a republican controlled session, ran to neighboring Illinois and hid in a Motel. Then I though Fleebaggers go National, or Fleebaggers hit the big time.
Right now the Feral Government is shut down. It would be nice to think that means zero spending, but unfortunately it means zero work, and the spending will resume at break neck speeds as soon as a compromise is reached.
Instead of working on solutions, Nancy P. Lousy packed her broom bags and was heading to Brussels. The President said not so fast and canceled her flight. He told her she could still go, but commercial, and exhorted her to remain in Washington and work on a solution to the budget impasse.
San Fran Nan was spotted at Reagan heading for a gate. Yes, we all like to go home on the weekend. Some times though, when important work and deadlines matter, you stay late, you roll up your sleeves and you do your JOB. Botox redux was selected to return as Screecher of the House after an eight year reprieve for the nation. She and Chuck the Schmuck should be working with McConnell and The President to resolve this.
I have spoken to a number of people about this. If I suspect the person is a liberal or a leftard, I ask them if they agreed with ObamAA-'s policies regarding the border. When they say yes, I point out that he continually requested and received funding, and that many miles of border fence were constructed during his tenure. I then ask them how Trump's wanting more wall is any different than Barry's. The leftists have no answer.
To those who argue a wall won't work, I concede that they are right, a wall ALONE will not stem the flow of illegals. What it does though is make patrolling easier. I would much prefer a wall to a fence. You can see through a fence, you cannot see through a wall. In order for invaders to know what is on th other side of a wall, they must have some one scale that wall, or fly a drone over. They would not be able to see if a stationary unit was sitting on the other side any other way.
A wall would also be harder to breech. With a fence, they could possibly wrap a chain, hook it to a truck, and rip down a section. The facts of the matter are that it is much easier to control movement with a fence or wall than without. Ranchers learned that trick over a hundred years ago.
If yo udon't understand the seriousness of this issue, let's begin with a simple look at the cost of illegal immigration. Right now the Los Angeles Schools are shut down due to a strike. The reason for the strike is insufficient funding. The reason for the insufficiency is that Los Angeles is over run with illegals who pay nothing in taxes. Their pay checks are sent home to Mexico Honduras Guatemala and points south rather than being spent in LA where a portion would be skimmed in the form of sales taxes to fund the schools.
Also right now, democrats are floating a bill to grant amnesty to an estimated 1.5 million farm laborers. Why not provide jobs for 1.5 million democrat voters who are unemployed? Oh Snap! Once they get a job and learn how government treats working stiffs, they become republicans. Bad Idea for leftists who count on dependent sheeple for votes. OF course, California has shown that they can steal elections no matter what, so that may soon matter no more.
As I've said before though, I'll take the budget shut down seriously when they roll up the interstates and stick them in a warehouse. OK, I still wouldn't give a rip then.
