When will Republicans realize there is legal immigration and illegal immigration. Also that the US government has departments and policy's and procedures and laws in place to handle both. If they need help to get their designated job done, then provide it. Everything else it political grandstanding and a waste of money. There seems to be no shortage of those to say the least.

Did you mean to say when will Democrats? They don't know the difference, they never differentiate, just call them immigrants. They even pass laws to protect the ones already here.

Seems to me the Republicans have held all the 'law passing' cards for a while. Yet they are not making any headway. My guess is they have been too busy trying to keep the Idiot in Chief in check.

A little strange reading this, since it’s the Democrats that keep lumping all immigrants in the same basket, regardless of whether they are legal or not. The Republicans are the ones who want to keep clear lines between the two.

If your only news source is Trump, errr FOX. Don't you know Trump only tell the truth when he has to …. or was that when he needs to … or maybe it was when he can.

Apparently you have access to the Internet. There are a lot of really good sources of information out there. Very few if any are perfect but it really helps reading several so you don't have a lopsided view.

I watch FOX maybe 20% of the time. There are a couple of shows that I like, and that is it. I would much rather watch people that disagree with me. It is much more interesting.

Taxes, health care, education, and other social services are issues that matter to me the most but democrats are making immigration the focal point of their platform which sidelines all the other issues.
So as a liberal, you're for higher taxes, free health care, free college, and what else?

Weird because I haven't heard Democrats praise any actions to deal with legal or illegal immigration like RAISE act, a physical barrier, arresting law breakers (crossing the border illegally), instead all I hear is "racist!", resistance and mocking.

Also weird that Democrats claim to care but didn't do anything about when they were in power.

Your claims are strange indeed.

You're actually got it exactly backwards.

It's the Republicans who are fanning the flames of immigrants because they ain't got anything else to run on.

The Tax Cut?

Repealing Obamacare?

Those are so popular, the GOP congresscritters are trying to run away them in the elections.
