Most everyone's heard of the oath given at trials that compels a witness to "Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." It should be noted that the oath purposely distinguishes the gulf between "The truth" and the "Whole truth." That's because, in many cases, a partial truth is also a partial lie.
This is exactly the case with the all-too-common assertion that Sen. Chuck Schumer once offered President Trump $25 billion in border wall funds in exchange for legalizing the nation's roughly 1.8 million DACA recipients and 3.5 million Dreamers, but the White House opposed it.
Well, that's the truth, but it is certainly far from the whole truth.
Because of this motive, Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have now created a stalemate with border wall funding in Congress.
Even with Trump's new proposal of a border wall for three-year amnesty and an administration compromise of a mere $5.7 billion down payment for wall construction, Democratic leadership still hasn't budged.
Pelosi's Napa Valley mansion is surrounded by a wall - the very thing that she says is "Immoral" - and Schumer supported building 700 miles of border fencing, meant to deter illegal immigration, in 2006.
Regardless of your position on illegal immigration, there is an unquestionable humanitarian and public safety crisis going on right now along the Southern border.
