The Democrats' continued push for an endless flow of illegals is the primary reason working class Americans have been hurting with stagnant wages and issues with affordable housing.

Those on the left cannot seem to wrap their minds around such a thought, and in fact don't even know that it is an issue. Trying to talk sense into them is like talking to a brick wall and I don't think they have the ability to think rationally on the issue (among others).

The only people on Earth who can eliminate "poverty" are the people in "poverty."

And, to do that, the people in "poverty" just have to want it to end.

But, they don't want it to end, because their only interest is acquiring beer, drugs, tattoos, lotto tickets, silly video games and other nonsense.

I do not acquire and never have acquired beer, drugs, tattoos, lotto tickets, or even any video games silly or otherwise and it has never eliminated my poverty.

No one wants an endless flow of illegals. Its such a stupid thing to say. I garuntee you Trump loses if he keeps up that fake filthy lie.
The only person who uses flows of illegals are TRUMPS. Therein lies the origin of his audacious comment.

Of course, the Democrats want an endless flow of illegals and to claim otherwise, when we have 20 Democrat candidates on a stage openly call for giving healthcare to illegals, and most of them calling to decriminalizing entering the country illegally, is an assinine suggestion.

You do not incentivize behavior that you don't want to encourage. These people wish to incentivize a constant flow, which of course they are betting the farm on will lead to future Democrat voters in the form of mass amnesties and of course, their offspring.

If the Democrats were serious about this issue, they would agree to border security, would not be offended when those rushing the border are not openly released into the general population to vanish and would not call for taxpayers to fund programs for them. The fact is that they are not serious, and do not even admit there is a problem.

Republicans are for business : they want cheap labour and want immigrants to suppress workers rights and salary.

Democrats are for the workers : but they would rather import labor so they might get a few more votes?


Nah..the Republicans are the ones who support full scale importation, but are calling the Democrats for No borders, because its a cheap way to get votes, and their voter base doesn't seem to understand its their own party that does it.

When Democrats then wants to make the situation livable for the immigrants the Republicans want importert, the Republicans voters blame Democrats for giving aid and help to the same people their own party want imported.


Republicans and logic... never fails.

Your explanation seems to lack any logic to me. How can you see 20 candidates for President on stage call for incentivizing illegal immigration and come to the conclusion that they are not in favor of illegal immigration?

Parts of the Republican party have, at times, been in favor of a steady flow of cheap labor as a means to keep costs low for business, but that is not the mainstream of the GOP today, particularly with Trump as President.

The Democrats, on the one hand, decry low wages, yet on the other oppose border security. The two just do not jive, which you can surely see.

It actually is very simple.

Reducing demand while maintaining supply will reduce prices.

You are so blinded by rage against the Republican Party that you are unable to comprehend that illegals make life more expensive for the middle and lower class. Then you and your ilk have the gall to proclaim that the cost of living is too high for the lower and middle class.

Pure, unadulterated derangement.
