Wrong, a rich man like Trump does not hire manual laborers personally. He has management employees under him that do that. Republicans like cheap labor but the Democrats don't? The House GOP has just recently introduced legislation for mandated e-verify (without amnesty) and ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens. Those things would go a long ways in deterring illegal immigration. Think the Dems will vote for them? What have the Dems done to fix this problem? Promising amnesty and giving stays of deportation with work permits sure isn't the solution.

As for the GOP's action on healthcare and the debt the Dems fight them all the way on pretty much everything. Most Americans don't like Obama's healthcare bill.

Compared to what these free loaders suck out of entitlements now it's a cheap solution and great investment. Food, housing, healthcare.. The list goes on and on. Don't forget the jobs they take illegally. I can't wait until the union guys take one when illegals start taking union jobs their kids might have had.

I think Americans are really really really pissed. The moonbat media is doing everything it can to look otherwise. November 2016!is going to be ugly ugly ugly for liberals/dems. If they thought the last two elections were a beating well..

Quoting Donald Trump:


“People are pouring across our borders, which is horrible,” Trump said. “We have to build a wall. Who would — look, I build some of the greatest buildings in the world. Building a wall for me is easy. And it would be a wall. It would be a real wall. Not a wall that people walk over.”


[Like Trump, I would definitely build a truly secure wall, too. It's absurd that we have let millions and millions of illegal aliens simply cross over from Mexico into the United States without undergoing any background check or doing any vetting on them whatsoever.]
as far as I know, there has already been federal legislation to "build a wall between Mexico and the United States."

Agreed. Yes, we do need e-verify and all the incentives removed for those coming here for "economic" gain but terrorists, criminals and drug dealers aren't looking for jobs here. Therefore, the wall serves several purposes.

WALL = WASTE
. . .
Simple solution:
[] End national socialism (FICA) and all public charity
[] Restore absolute ownership to laborers and businesses
. . .
When there is no financial benefit to invade, drop babies, and suck at the public teat, they will stop.
When there is no financial benefit to hiring undocumented (off book) labor, they will stop.
. . . . . .
The recipient class will revolt and wreak havoc once they’re cut off.
. . .
Of course, no one said that the remedy would be pleasant.

So tell me what Bush and Reagan did to stem the tide of illegals?

I never liked Reagan and liked him even less when he pushed for---and got---the 1986 amnesty. However, the dems did say that with the '86 amnesty, the border would be secured, illegals would never be able to work in this country and that there would never again be another amnesty.

Fast forward to today---the border is still not secured, we have 8 million no-match SSNs in the work force and there have been several stealth amnesties.

Neither party is looking out for Americans.

Going back 35 years to attempt to defend your failed leader, eh? Too funny.
