tRump is now on a downward trajectory.

His "power" evaporated with the Dems taking the House.

Without his bootlicker congress, he's neutered.

He'll be increasingly irrelevant as president and ever more entertaining in his role as "Individual 1" going forward.

The "national emergency" is in the WH.

The best entertainment is found by watching Individual 435.

How do you know what comes thru? Do you have cameras there and see all that comes across? Or are you parroting a talking point? Theres no way for anyone to know what comes over our borders except at secured points of entry so anyone saying otherwise is full of it.

And WHAT ARE those numbers? And WHY do you think that is?

So, if a cat 5 hurricane is moving toward your house and suddenly drops to a cat 3, it is no longer is an "emergency" according to you!

And WE are called the en-educated an dumb!
The government gives statistics on this all the time and Trump was recently bragging about it.

If we had not overthrown several of the democratically elected governments in central America and installed dictators, those immigrants might stay home.

Please show us proof of this! Liberals want checkpoints at every border crossing to catch drugs and “human traffic” and e-verify to ensure living wage jobs for everyone who wants and is legal to work.
Liberals want humane treatment of families who want nothing more than a better life for their children.
They should be given work permits, ankle bracelets to ensure they will have court hearings and not be incarcerated at tax payer expense. Criminals deported ASAP. Go back to Ronald Reagan’s dream.
Conservatives won’t back e-verify because business wants substandard wages.

But liberals don't want a wall on the most porous areas of the border to prevent illegal entry in the first place. Last time the GOP introduced an e-verify bill the Democrats voted it down. So you're wrong about it being conservatives that won't back e-verify.


Humane treatment to liberals is allowing anyone who wants to come here for a better life to be able to do so even if they first enter our country illegally. No, illegals should not be given work permits. We have annual quotas for legal immigration based on our ability to provide them with jobs and resources without it negatively impacting our own citizens. Illegal immigration negates those sane quotas.

Just because they oppose the faux national emergency doesn't mean they are embracing illegal immigration. Wish this talking point would die on the vine, but it won't. Nobody wants open borders and illegal immigration.

That does NOT answer the question.

A CLAIM was made. All I ask is for the REAL data to back it up and WHY all the numbers claimed changed.


IF you CANNOT back up a claim DON'T make it.
