Simple explanation.....enforcing the border the way it should be enforced will save money by taking benefits away from illegal aliens(providing school for their kids, welfare, prison costs, law enforcement effort/$, etc.), programs/$ meant for legal citizens, can now be used to shore up VA health care and beyond.

And yes, the reality is building a wall, actually enforcing the border in a strong manner, will cost money but given this nonsense/lawbreaking that has been going on for so long/enforced in a a half baked way to benefit those in power/making $, will take time and money to fix. That's the hard reality. This problem will not be solved overnight but it's about time someone is finally taken effort to solve it.

No , you didn't answer a thing.My statment was in response to coming after a congressional member and blaming her.Trump has done the exact same thing only worse and no where in your long reply did you address that issue.

Take your chest and deflate it....really.

Promoting one thing that is ILLEGAL in front of people who actually need something...think about that in your school course....

Basically what you are saying is, it's o.k. to put ILLEGAL people (people breaking the law in your case) in front of those who need it far more than those breaking the law. I cannot believe I have to break it down to kindergarten language.

If the ILLEGALS are getting better service than the Vets....that would be putting the ILLEGALS in front of the Vets.....I'm sorry you don't have the mental comprehension to understand that....even when given proof....

We can put regular vets above illegals but not POWs, because Chump himself even said that he likes people "who weren't captured".

He said/she said/they said....haven't you learned not to trust what ANY of these clowns say?

Show me don't tell me is what you should be keeping your eye on unless you are the type that naively believes politicians words. And given trump has been in office for just a few months, I'd lay off the prejudging and wait a few years to see what he does/doesn't accomplish.

Again, actions, not words.....you might want to give that a bit of serious thought. Your partisan/trust in liars of either party is shining brightly. Look where that mindset has got our country so far, in the last few decades especially.

Duhhhh....how long has it been since trump took office? I Know lefties want things done in one day, as long as it a repub in charge....everyone else can take there time....

Lets see what he does, he's already boosted the military budget, you know, instead of cut it....like who did, over the last 8 years?

So you are saying it's OK to make the Veteran's in this country wait for a decent VA administration,right?

What I'm saying is lets see if trump really does anything, he is already doing what he said he would do and the left is going freaking nuts about it....


If he does nothing, then I'll be just as aggressive towards him as I Have been the rest......


Does that shock you?

The poll is dishonest. It's not vets before illegals. It's the wealthy before both.
