This is simple. Is Trump’s right hand man telling a lie about Bush?

I’ll let you tell it.
I'm not a fan of Bush. Got it? He has shown himself to be a tool for the left by keeping his mouth shut while Barry tried to destroy America, yet found his forked tongue once Trump became President and started repairing the destruction that Barry's actions caused.

Soooooooooo Republicans, where does all this poppycock come from that Democrats are the party of open borders when Trump doesn’t even believe that. His own right hand man just said what the administration REALLY believes.

So, explain right wingers. And don’t say that Bush wasn’t a real Republican either because you were defending him to the hilt when he was the president.

Is that why so many Republicans deserted the party under Bush/Cheney and voted in Obama - an unknown? Millions deserted the party under Bush/Cheney. I had 100% been a Republican voter until the Bushbarian cabal galloped into town.

Yeah, George W Bush - President Directo a Mexico. He used the US government to make it easier for Mexicans here to send money home instead of spending it here...and yes, I have been complaining about it since he was President.

No one has protected the borders- no one.


That is why Trump must initiate action that has been neglected for decades. The only issue now is that libs are openly opposing such moves to keep the borders open.

He made it easier to send money home.. Interesting. Dont they all use a Mexican version (as they are all over the country) of western unions. And Nixon set the limit needed to tell authorities how much was being sent..
Congress is the one to send bills to POTUS. Potus enforces. Sucks that Trump is trying to do what others failed to do because it wasnt the cool thing to do.

Desert:

disgust with the traditional R's and D's treatment of blue collar workers via off-shoring and on-shoring (aka illegals) is what helped land trump in the whitehouse and absolutely is what got him past the other R's in the primary.

Those pro-corporate policies were long-standing and bi-partisan so frankly, it's not a stunning admission at all to most people unless they're hopelessly partisan fringe and thus cannot admit to anything that could be perceived as negative. I've been mentioning both parties culpability around here for years before Trump.

It was a major political schism where longtime D safe havens like blue collar workers jumped ship so they got labeled racist deplorables for doing so.

P.S. I'm not commenting on the results of that 2016 decision, just the pre-history that lead up to what was essentially a "peasant revolt" of sorts at the ballot box.

trump is the one trying to curb illegal immigration, just about every president before him didnt, which is why we have the problems with immigration that we do have now. and by the way, for the most part the democrats, and many republicans have constantly blocked immigration reform and border security. so you cant just look at the republican party only, you have to look at the demonrats as well.

The information that the #of illegals went up during that period is hardly stunning nor a "confession". Only an idiot would think it is newsworthy now. Trump is trying to fix it, and if you oppose that you are in fact a Left Wing Loony Toon (LWLT) of the highest order.
