Doing nothing for 30 years is not an accident.

Wrong. He's just given a pass to five million illegals. That's far more than he's deported. So his deportation number so far is about MINUS four million.

Some of the most anti illegal alien people in the country are immigrants who came here legally.

No fence is high enough nor troops deep enough will diminish illegal immigration so long as employers continue to recruit and hire undocumented workers.

In my neck of the woods the Eastern Europeans arrive on tourist visas. They have no problem becoming employed especially in the trades. They return home for the holidays, rinse and repeat.

I am unaware of any difference between parties, beyond campaign rhetoric, whereby the majority blame the other team. I am especially fond of politicians who grandstand on remarks like " we need more jobs" and the crowds go wild for them. That's pandering, not a plan.

We could reduce corporate tax to zero and not create progress towards creating middle- class jobs.
This is a global challenge.

A country that has not a lick of common-sense left, is OBVIOUSLY on the downside
of its rise/fall lifecycle.
People have been predicting the decline of the U.S. since the country was formed.

None of these politicians care. However, you are incorrect. Illegal immigration has actually lessened under Obama and deportations rose.

Nope...I hold them ALL responsible. You all ONLY hold Obama responsible due to your personal issues.

The masses sucked the equity out of their homes during the housing bubble and used the proceeds to live beyond their means. It employed a heck of a lot of people for a blip in time.

Maybe you should read up and actually see where his attempts at forcing his FAILING "immigration" agenda will lead to ?

We can't change the mistakes that prior president's ( especially Reagan) have made, but we can and should prevent Obama from making more like he intends to.

Obviously the current president has not learned from the mistakes if the past.

What is "pathetic" is all the excuses made for this clown.
And instead, the U.S. continues to do nothing, no different than the past 30 years- no accident. It does not matter who sits the oval or holds the majority.
