Another reality is, a lot of our economy depends on aliens. Not all of them (as your side paints them all) are takers, many work hard and contribute to our farming and manufacturing economies. You say they take our jobs, but the REALITY is, you and I are too good and too lazy to do the work many of these folks are thrilled to do.

Where you see them as a detriment, I see them as people who are just wanting a better life and who are not afraid to work hard to get it.

He's a liar, a salesman who poops on facts and truth.

But by gosh he's not boring!

Oh come on. You guys can’t be so naive that you really thought he was planning to have Mexico write us a check for the wall. That is just too bizarre. How would that even work?

The thought of that is so far out there, that it never even entered my mind when he was saying it.

I Never would have thought it would have entered anyone else’s mind either, but maybe I was wrong.

A check is one option mentioned in that link shared earlier.

When do presidents ever keep promises?

Obama promised GMO foods would be labeled.

But no. Never did that.

.....But there was a GMO labeling bill passed during his tenure. It’s not ideal, but there was some effort made https://www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...g-bill-n609571

His promise was that all GMO foods would be labeled.

That never happened.

There are foods that are voluntarily identifying as non-GMO. But that is market driven, not law.

What we eat should be labeled. He promised to do so. he did not.

Back to my point ....
