But are not getting paid. At some point you have to acknowledge forcing people to work for no money is not only immoral but illegal.

Parsing the truth
There ARE federal jobs not being done because of Trump hearing the dog whistles of the alt right

These people are going to win a pretty good lawsuit. Happened before, it will happen again.

Around 75% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. It is a crazy stat.

This is getting out of hand, Trump is in way over his head

When will Republican lawmakers put country before party and finally say enough is enough?!

They probably all vote Democrat anyway, so who cares?

I could genuinely see him going down for something like this, off all things.

The truth is most certainly the opposite of what any hate group claims.

This fact is not exclusive to individuals posting nonsense on forums.


BTW, Xenophobia is the irrational hatred of others based on their beliefs, culture, heritage, ethnicity.


That pretty much defines most progressive zealots.
Your comment proves my point--that Miller and Trump and others in the Admin and most of Trump's die-hard 17% are xenophobes
Because their fear of those coming in from the southern border ARE irrational
The lies that Trump tells to generate fear and a totally irrational response drive his narrative

Statistics tell a very different story about how majority of illegal immigrants come into the US
About how much crime they bring and what financial +/- they produce

But I don't think you or others will let facts get in the way of your irrational support of Trump...
