If Democrats want any hope of winning in the future, they need illegal immigration. In 2020 they should have a tear down this wall campaign. There is no possible way this could backfire (insert unknown ironic mogee here).

No the whole amnesty dream stuff on the backs of the tax payer is a failed message, if they do it again will lose. Look at the house, governors, and senate...

Only in your mind.
Trump is already running away from the wall. There will probably be a little stretch of symbolic wall put up, but that's the extent of it.

You think the "wall" will have even broken ground in 4 years? They won't even have selected a contractor. Or a funding source.

All candidates are identity politics candidates. Trump put in a fake white working class hate when he was a white moneyed class guy.

No, ofcourse not...because there won't be a wall....especially in 2020....It's a vain imagining to thinK that he would
be able to erect a wall that size in that amount of time.
Engineers and architects have estimated it would take probably sixteen or more years to build a wall that size.

I hope a wall gets built but there needs to be more & better border security as well. Overall, though, I think anything they do will just slow down illegal immigration.

The wetbacks will always find a way to slither over, under, or through the border.

The 2020 democratic candidate will run on the platform, "Don't let Russia elect your President again."

No.

Democrats currently don't want to talk about illegal aliens. Hillary avoided the subject like the plague.
