The Democrats don't argue against I-9's because they are impotent! Those that use the system have long known how to avoid the system catching up to them. When we get a 'system' that actually works we will not have to deport most illegal workers; they will self deport.
No they won't. Business will demand that they get to stay in some way legally. There is NO way they are going to allow all this experience to simply pack up and leave to then have to pay people with less experience even more money.

So you are saying 2 things

1. The Democrats didnt do what you claim, so you are trying to move the goal post.

2. You became a Republican.... which was the group who wanted the very things you are attacking Democrats for. (because you cant say Democrats didnt defend workers without that meaning Republican didnt either. )


interesting.

I became a Republican, like many, to support President Trump. I did not become one to support many of the Republican policies.


You still have this problem with not one Democrat that wants to make our Nation better. It has been so long that your side has talked the talk, walked the walk, that they forgot who hired them. They were all hired to work for the US - no other Nation. You tell me what is wrong with seeking fair trade deals or telling people you have to respect our laws to enter our Country?

It's like this last 'event' where the Democrats screamed for the separated children of the illegal aliens. American kids get separated from their parents everyday when the parents break our laws and not one crocodile tear was shed. The American taxpayer does not have to pay for the world or feel guilty because others broke our laws.

You want to get me or others like me back; come back home and support your voters! Politicians are simply temporary workers that we hire to work for US!

I dont have that problem.

You and I have different definitions of "better".

Nothing wrong with those things, but you are proving my point

You are destroying your argument again. Congress rights the laws, and the things you are talking about are the fault of Republicans, not Democrats.

You are making false equivalency. A random John Doe killing someone in Iowa isnt equal to someone from Mexico escaping drug gangs who may be trying to murder them.

Democrats support voters just fine, you for some reason thing they dont support you, but your reasoning is flawed on multiple levels.

Trump's solutions so far have not been free market ones but rather socialist ones. Tariffs and bail outs. Take form the poor to give to the rich version of socialism, but socialism all the same.

The point was that tariffs are not free market capitalist solutions like Trump supporters pretend to support.

Too early to tell. So far, economists, just like politicians have been wrong with their predictions. If you want, I can find all of the videos from early 2017 and late 2016 with them telling us there was no way our economy would improve under Trump.

You are purposefully leaving out context, which was that if Trump implemented all the policies he was talking about on the campaign trail, there was no way the economy would improve.
