Putting babies and kids in cages is disgusting. I don't want illegal immigration but, this administration goes to far.
Whining and support for illegal invaders offends me. “...babies and kids in cages.” Hahaha.....get a grip.

First off they weren't cages so cut the dramatics. They were holding facilities and were necessary considering that we had caravan after caravan crash our border this year. How many times does it have to be reiterated to you and yours that Obama was the first to use those holding facilities? Did he go to far? Don't be a hypocrite.

As far as Trump lying day in and day out you have no proof of that just you and yours typical anti-Trump rants. Show me one politician that hasn't lied anyway.

The leftist party has always been selective when it comes to laws. i.e. “Trump isn’t above the law! Nobody is above the law” and in the same breath tell illegal criminals not to obey immigration laws (hide/run/don’t open doors for ICE agents, etc). Setting up sanctuary cites to protect MS13 gangs and other serial murders/ rapists. Even proposing to give them free healthcare/welfare.

It’s just absolutely crazy what Democrats have morphed into.

Yeah, the dems have morphed far more than the repugs, by a decent amount.

I'm a lower middle class federal employee.


Trump just gave federal/DOD employees a 3.1% pay raise for 2020 and 12 weeks of paternity/maternity leave.


Thanks Trump

10 years is the norm is because people are trying to bring their brothers or sisters into the US instead of their father/mother, or husband/wife, or son/daughter. It's called family-preference visas.


US immigration is very generous compare to other countries because we are using family preferences instead of "points system" like Canada where your age, skill, education, language, and work experiences are more important than family-preferences.

Yeah, you have a cushy Federal/DOD job. Nice, with good benefits. What about the people who work for small companies who don't have those benefits. Or the retail workers who are losing their jobs because Amazon has taken over, without paying a single $ in taxes!! Many, about half the population at least, don't have 401K's or any stock to take advantage of the rise in the stock market.

What about people working for small companies? usajobs.gov and the military are always hiring; feel free to apply. That's what I did when I left a city job to work for the federal government.


last time I checked federal/DOD employees are also citizens of United States and part of US work force.
