It used to be that Democrats cared about American citizens. Now it's pretty clear that their priority is everyone who is NOT an American citizen.

BINGO. The wwc used to be a segment he Dems proudly courted the support of. Now Dems hate the wwc, and the feeling is reciprocated.

Trump took an oath, and has an obligation to protect out country and it's citizens. He's trying with little help from Congress. More power to him.
Its his congress and senate party in the majority.
He could pass all sorts of tjimgs without a single Democrat. So why doesnt he?

Right. I'm a Democrat and I feel the same. The hyperbole deafens out the possibility of solutions. In the end, it will have to be bipartisan anyway.

I have no doubt they will not cross en masse into the US.

They don't need the Dems so stop blaming them for the GOP's inability to govern.
Immigration Reform is not needed/ We simply must enforce existing Immigration laws.

Unless you, like I, wish to modify Immigration to the limits of the 1950s, which saw on average about as many legally imported each decade as we allow in per year now.

Do you really need to ask these questions? The Republicans don't support another amnesty and that's what so-called reform is, duh.


You'd have to be living in a cave not to know how Trump has been fighting for the funding of the wall while congress is only giving him a mere pittance of what it's going to cost. Have you missed the prototypes that have been built? The improvements of existing walls that Trump has implemented?


This isn't about the GOP's inability to govern but not getting any backing from the Democrats which is necessary and as I said the sell-out Republicans in congress also.


Ok, it's now time for you and yours to ask for the millionth time "I thought Mexico is paying for the wall? Which has also been answered and addressed the same millionth time.

What the crap? This is not our responsibility and our government is NOT AUTHORIZED to do this either. You find me the place in the Constitution where this is a power delegated to Congress.

Stop with this socialist do-gooder nonsense. The only purpose of America is to safeguard the natural rights of American citizens. It is not our responsibility to fix the world.

Because many Republicans are fakers/frauds - they are RINOs. Many of them are nothing but Deep State Swamp Rats. Look how many were Never Trumpers. You think they give a crap about America?

Exactly but I want it to be zero. We don't need a single extra person...got plenty of people. Got so many we will never run out.

No, he can't! Besides, there are several sell out Republicans in congress that do not support Trump but you knew that, didn't you?

And where is DACA now? Besides, the DACA people all speak English, have gone to American schools and some have even served in our wars.

And what etc?

The reality is that Pubs refuse to sanction employers who hire illegals by the millions. And those jobs they provide are the magnet that keeps drawing them here.

And we both know why that is.

But they LOVE to gripe endlessly about what a "threat" illegals are.

Every complex issue has a simple, easy-to-understand "solution" that won't work.

tRump's poorly educated also love that scapegoating.
