Short of military conflict and we need to remember what we are trying to get iran to do. If you are older, you remember things called fallout shelters. We did that training where we trained for the advent of the nuclear war with the soviet union at the time. We dont want to live like that. I ran having a Nuclear Weapon is unacceptable. We are trying to show them the way. Host do sanctions work . As it proven to change their action in the past . Caller it changes it a little bit. I think that is what brought them to the table initially. We have not been able to get them to reverse course completely. I think that is what brought them to the table. We should have increased pressure at that time and let them know how tough it can be. Often times in these autocratic regimes, there are a few people at the top probably a couple hundred to a couple thousand running the operation, so to speak. Sanctions on them in particular make a huge difference. Aborted went from an military strike and the p

Democrats giveandtake on trump border aid legislation. Five months after labeling the border a manufactured crisis, Speaker Pelosi led democrats to approve 4. 5 billion humanitarian aid package. Democrats took their pound of flesh in the vote, deleting some of the president s priorities such as money for investigators to stop human traffickers and more detention beds for i. C. E.

Different way. That might increase smugglers and cartels who will say well take care of the situation for you and you pay us, is there a correlation there, is there not .

Its difficult for me to know. Senator peters is there anything being done to ensure that migrants waiting to go across are not being approached to use their services .

The senate bill, which passed 301 could be passed in the house before we leave this week if we can get it done and get aid to these people who need it. Families coming across
