So I suppose you are OK with this scenario:

Federal Authorities: "We are searching for a man who has abducted a minor child and is believed to be currently crossing into your state."

State Police: F--k you! We aren't going to do your job for you!

LOL at Sanctuary California. They have a severe homeless problem and I'd wager many of them are illegals there getting nice state benefits.

Let CA continue raising their state taxes to pay for these sanctuary illegals.

Another rouge "judge" in CA trying to dictate national policy. No one elected him. Just ignore the order until SCOTUS weighs in.

Well, what do you know? You agree with the Constitution! So why do you not agree that they must enforce the law regarding immigration and that Sanctuary Cities are a violation of the Constitution?

KrisAnne Hall is an attorney and a disabled Army Vet (a former Russian linguist for the Army) and she teaches the Constitution to groups all across the U.S. Here is what she has been teaching on the question of "Sanctuary Cities":

It matters none if they like federal immigration laws as they apply to the feds. It's meaningless. Not a single state has done anything to block the feds from doing their job.

And again, you are upset with the states as opposed to the federal government for not doing their Constitutionally mandated job.

I'm not listening to Youtube video's from someone's living room. Make an argument or not.

Ban Muslims
A) It was never the point to ban Muslims, but he is reducing immigration from terrorist sponsoring countries due to new vetting procedures.

B) There is already a Supreme Court Date for this, and they will back Trump.

Build wall and get Mexico to pay for it
No need. illegal immigration down 64% through simple enforcement. No one needed to pay a dime.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/08/u...on-border.html

Is illegal immigration the lowest in 17 years, as Trump said? | PolitiFact

Cut funding to most American cities
A) See above.
B) This will go to the Supreme Court who will back Trump. Enjoy it while you can.

Bring Back Jobs to America
Unemployement is the lowest in 40 years. The followng companies have announced American re-investment, sometimes specifically citing Trump.

SoftBank $50B
Exxon $20B
Hyundai $3.1B
Apple $1B
Chrysler $1B
GM $1B
Bayer AG $1B
Toyota $600M
LG $250M


He is also opening up trade with China:

WINNING! It is all going according to plan, Trump is just having to employ a more incremental approach. There is more than one way to skin a cat. I had reservations but can't wait to vote for him again.

He has done a dozen other cool things, but you have failed by your own metric, so we will leave it at that.
lol
And yet the aca is enjoying record enrollment? even with trump cutting funding for advertisement 90% and shortening the enrollment period.

Unemployment is at the lowest point in 40 years thanks to his Predecessor, who by the way did it after the previous cluster (*& left him with the worst economic meltdown know to god.

Building a wall? lol, even Mexico is laughing at that one. The president got caught call the Mexican president asking him to play along. really?

Now I haven't heard about the companies reinvesting that specific amount so I'll have to research that.


Why do you think the President is trying so hard to get this tax reform done, he needs some thing to say he's winning.

Let's not talk about the couple of fiascos he's had to reverse course on.
