It is not in the best interests of the American people to pass any kind of DACA bill. That would be nearly 2 million people competing for jobs and resources against Americans.

Bizarre. There will be so many studies/books written about the Trump cult.
So...anyone who votes for a candidate is considered "a cultist" to you? Then, according to you, that makes you an Obama/Hillary cultist.

How do we do this? Hold employers accountable. Enact VERY stiff penalties for violations - severe enough to put a company out of business. Threats of jail time would work, too.


Very few of these people are going to go through the very difficult trip into this country if there is no job for them here.
Per the bolded --- You do realize that not everybody who sneaks across the border is looking for work, don't you? Bill Clinton had a wall built at the San Diego/Tijuana border which has drastically cut down on illegal crossings and crime. Do you consider that wall to be "a boondoggle"?

Trump is still a Democrat (inside). The present day left "liberals" are so far left now , that they border communism/socialism. The current day "GOP" party is basically where democrats were 20 years ago....


Thats the difference. John McCain is a warhawk Rhino. Sorry but its true.

No one other than Trump wants to spend billions of dollars to build this wall. What does he care if he wastes tax payers money, he's rich. So it doesn't affect him.

A wall built in the proximity of heavily traveled crossings is one thing.... a Trump Wall is another.

Our foolish war on drugs has created a narco state south of the border and an increased police state in the US. Some folks sneak up to participate in the very lucrative and violent illegal drug trade and some folks sneak in to escape it....

Which we have no one that will do that. These worthless solutions are obviously worthless.

When will you hold Trump accountable for not doing so?
