Well according to you the American spirit sucks with Americans, opposed to your precious "immigrants". Part of our spirit is being a nation of law. Illegal aliens have no respect for our laws. Is that the so-called American spirit that you admire? They aren't Americans aka U.S. citizens anyway so how can they have the American spirit?

Shouldn't everyone be educated enough to know this? And I'm saying this as a Democrat.

The American spirit is a beautiful thing that you’re blind to.

We have to admit it my friend. The left that is here now, is not for America's interests. They are only for their corporate buddies who make mad profits off of illegal labor, or by sending jobs overseas due to the NAFTA that was signed into law by both the established republicans and democrats. The rich get even more tax cuts, the illegals get more benefits, and us middleclass have to struggle even more, especially if we are white, because nobody is out there to help us anymore. The only thing we are good for, is to join the military where we get killed in foreign lands so the corporations can come in and steal oil and other resources.

I'm afraid the end is near, and there isn't much we can do about it anymore.

Because Obama gave them cover to allow them to stay without having to commit themselves to a recorded vote and they assumed Hillary would be able to continue to give them cover.

I have no problem with the Democrats going to bat for the Dreamers.

As far as shutting the government down, which party has routinely used the false issue of a “debt ceiling*” to extort political concessions with the threat of a shutdown? Not the Dems.

* It’s a red herring because the “debt ceiling” doesn’t limit our debt at all. It’s refusing authorization to pay for debt already accrued.

Sounds like a pretty accurate theory.

Why should ANY elected US politician prioritize foreign law-violators over US Citizens? That makes NO sense at all.
