Exactly what are the Republicans who are in elected office willing to spend money on except a) border control, b) law enforcement, and c) useless lawsuits against the federal government which are almost certainly doomed to failure.

There's a difference between Republican people (large portions of which are reasonable people who believe the government has a legitimate role in society) and Republican elected officials who are on the whole entirely delusional and crazy.

(don't get me wrong, I'm for a and b).
