Which is exactly what Democrats want, Republicans to fight each other over Trump instead of uniting behind him.

Your distaste for Trump is wasting a huge opportunity and playing right into the Left's hands.

But hey, at least you have your self respect...

And there's no reason to believe it would be any different this time. If Ronald Reagan and George Bush following him could not enforce it, why are we to believe Trump could do any better? (and, "because you said he can" is not a legitimate reason)


not impossible, it's just big business runs our government and they want the cheap labor and open borders. Good for them, bad for the poor and middle class of this country.

When Reagan signed this in mid-1986, he expected Congress and future Presidents to enforce the law, he basically had 2 years left in office.....both Bushes were for open borders and so Bill Clinton and Obama....that's 28 years of not enforcing immigration laws and having open borders that created this mess. Welcome to globalism brought to us by the geniuses of the elites in both parties.


if you think it can't be enforced why does the rest of the world enforces their immigration laws....Are you familiar with Mexico's immigration laws? they do enforce their laws. It's a felony to enter Mexico illegally, it's jail time and automatic deportation. No free education no free healthcare for illegals in Mexico, if you are a Mexican citizen and aid and help an illegal in Mexico that's a felony in Mexico. If you are poor immigrant you have no rights, you are not welcome. If you get Deported and come back the penalties are harsher.


So don't tell me it can't be enforced other countries do it all the time. It's just that you don't care.

Nothing to do with me or playing into the lefts hands. Make something else up. Everything to do with those that support big government. The republicans made a huge mistake electing trump. Wasn't as bad as the left electing hillary though.

Premiums and deductibles went up because of the big government freaks. Not to hard to figure that out. For some anyway.

Yes, premiums and deductibles went up because Democrats voted in lockstep to pass Obamacare.

And they will stay that way because Republicans can't seem to do the same to repeal it despite eight years of promises to do so and many meaningless votes to repeal under Obama when they knew he would veto.

Are you saying that conservatives don't support Trump? That Trump got elected without any conservative support?

Who is his base then?

Please explain. It's been a long day, and just when I thought I had things all figured out this post has thrown me for a total loop. I won't sleep tonight with this floating around my noggin. Can you help me understand what you mean by this?

How can conservatives portray themselves as "peaceful" and "law and order" types and in the same breath tell us they would never accept any legal outcome of our laws that results in Trump's removal from office? You can't call for rule of law in cases that are convenient to you and then condemn it as an infinite conspiracy in the cases you don't like. That's not rule of law; it's thuggish tyranny.

Conservatives should decide whether they are honest, principled supporters of the Constitution or thugs like Antifa.

And if Trump doesn't do anything highly illegal, then he doesn't have to worry about being kicked out of office. No liberal has some special power to employ that would unilaterally kick him out without significant due process.
And we have liberal groups committing acts of violence against clothed protestors and police as well as rioting. We have elected democrats calling for the death of a sitting US President. And you want to talk about the right?

Not conservatives. That's obvious. That you had to ask that question is telling.
Let me dumb it down for you.
Conservatives want less government. Trump does not. There you go, not too hard to figure out or did that make your head spin also?

Agreed. The republican party is pretty much worthless. They can't be trusted.

This thread just has to be a joke with all the criminal acts of Leftists being committed daily, both on the streets and in DC.
