The people are also not able to correctly decide every issue and is why we have a republic and not a democracy.
As long as the population who pays for the social services for illegals is content to blame the other guys, nothing will be fixed.

This has been going on to my knowledge since 1970 in my state. Home builders were hiring illegals by the hundreds. Now, the University tells us 1/2 the construction workers in Texas are illegal. Who do you think processes the chickens and catfish we love to buy on sale? Who cleans the hotel rooms and offices? Check out the business organization that support making e verify work and compulsory and the ones against it.

Nobody cared as long as they were getting cheap houses, food products, maid service and yardmen. The price of social services has skyrocketed. That got people's attention.

The former AG of Texas, John Cornyn now a senator, ruled that illegals could use their matriculate consular cards for ID to open bank accounts, etc. That enabled illegals to buy houses, etc.

There is no plan for deporting the millions already here. How much would that cost? How long would it take?

So, with the folks in DC saying one thing and doing another, nothing will happen. The bleeding hearts try to save the world. And the pragmatic among us will keep their cheap labor. All the while trying to convince us what good guys they are.

Do not re elect anybody.

Wow. Just wow.

It’s astonishing. WTF did you vote for him for??!
We already knew this.

The last president that really tried to limit illegal immigration, particularly from Mexico, was Eisenhower.

First, he gave strict enforcement orders to the CBP. When he realized that the CBP officials entrenched in the southwestern states were in the pockets of the business interests, he actually transferred them to the Canada border states and transferred those to the southwestern border.

That was effective, but then Eisenhower got his head handed to him by southwestern governors.

When you have the media and liberals in the judiciary blocking almost every immigration action and deportation, and everyone calling those that support deportation racist/bigot/xenophobe and white supremacist, it's politically impossible.


So democrats, liberals deserve almost 100% of the blame.
So who is blocking enforcement of existing laws that would hammer companies that employ illegals? Why isn't the Justice Department going after Tyson?

That would be the Republicans.

Why don't you address my points, instead of parrotting absurd Russian whataboutism? How can anyone who is HONESTLY against illegals (NOT against foreigners or minorities) vote for a dude who has probably hired more illegals than any elected official in American history? How does that make any sense?

It's like claiming you're against illegal drugs, then voting for El Chapo for President. Huh? One can only reasonably assume you have other motivations besides fighting drugs.
I didn't say the opposite of racism is anti-white. I'm saying many democrats are just racist against whites and also anti-America/Americans.

So tell me, who could we voted for that had any chance of winning besides Trump that would've done a better job enforcing immigration law?

I want ICE to remove all the illegals from my town. Tell me how I can get that done since you think you know it all.

They're vile racists and don't give a crap about illegals or immigration reform.
Who are you calling vile racist? What's vile is to dispossess and displace Americans. What if even anyone doesn't want the mass movement of other ethnics into their home country? There's plenty of valid reasons for them to not want that and secondary to ethnicity. What is your problem with America's historic and even current population? Is it they're still too white and black for that matter? Talk about vile racism.

Republicans do not control Congress. They need 60 in the senate and only have about 49. And why can't 10 of the 49 democrat senators ever vote along with the republicans. Stop deflecting from democrats being the bigger problem and making enforcement impossible.

For most of its history the US has been an open border country; until 1965 Mexicans or any other citizen in Latin America and Canada could move to the USA. What you want is irrelevant, most people either accept or don't care about illegal immigrants.

My gosh.

That's the exact opposite of my experience, and I live in Central Texas where there are plenty of illegal immigrants.

Hard to tell exactly who is legal and illegal, but you can kind of tell. And the more recent the immigrant, the thinner. They do gather in parks for barbecues in large groups. But they are laughing, barbecuing, cutting watermelon and birthday cake, playing tejano music kind of softly. Grandmas are holding babies, there are equal numbers of men and women recreating together, and the kids take care of the littler kids. Smiles and laughter all around.

And I don't think I've ever been "mean mugged" by a group of Mexican immigrants. Ever.

I've been mean mugged by other folks, notably Native Americans at the Native American festival in Oklahoma, but that's a different story.

Totally false. The vast majority of immigrants had to come here through a strict legal process, and go through places like Ellis Island where they were checked for background, health, etc.

Also "most people" do care about their safety, security, and DO CARE about Illegal ALIENS coming here with no background checks. They aren't immigrants, as immigration is a legal process. Duh!
