How can she possibly win on these issues, and even if she does, how can she deliver??

She's obviously taken several full drinks from the the Hillary Clinton punch bowl of politics.


i.e. A drunk genus is as bad as a drunk idiot. Really no difference.

It would not work. Medicare is a Federal program. Illegals are not eligible. Some states do provide Medicaid coverage.

So true, every politician since the beginning of time promises the moon for your vote, Kamala isn't the first and she won't be the last. And in the end, whichever candidate does get elected, will most likely fulfill very little to none of what they promised, basic politics 101!

Just look at how easy is was for Trump to get that $5.7 billion for that border wall/fence/whatever out of that $4 trillion federal budget, that's right, it wasn't easy at all.

That's why I have to chuck at people getting excited or upset at what politicians say/promise.

Tell Kamala that. She advocates a lot of policies that would not work, same as AOC does. They are 2 peas in a pod, but living on different coasts

To take OP's post and recast it to where it might become a serious proposal ... IF current illegals are provided with some sort of legalized status should they be allowed access to Medicare or Social Security even though they work and pay into it?

Short answer (here): No.

She did not advocate anything of the sort. The O/P made a linear melding of two positions she's stated and you're arguing over the O/P's assumptive reasoning, not Harris's statements.

Medicare for all. No mention of illegals as there is no mention of them in any other discussion about medicare.

Reassess role of ICE . No mention of allowing illegals to enter or remain...NONE. In fact she even elucidated her thoughts on the topic.

Summation; more of "the sky is falling" nonsense from agenda driven partisan surface skimmers..

What do I think? I think this yet another forum post where the forum title is false and totally misleading.

Link to where Harris actually is on record supporting "open borders"?

Link to where Harris actually is on record supporting healthcare for illegals at no charge?

Getting a little carried away, here.
The GDP of the entire US is 17 trillion - that means you could buy every good and product made in America during one year for 17 trillion.
FWIW, the GDP of the entire world is around 65 trillion. Yes, America accounts for 1/4 of the GDP of the entire world.
So M4A could not possibly cost that much - at least not in one year.
