Why don't you show leadership and refuse to pay you Federal income tax? Since you have no issue with felonious behavior, lead by example. Let us know how it works out for you.

If a Democratic president withheld federal dollars from a red state that made abortion illegal, or very difficult, when abortion it is legal in this country, would that be fine with Trumplicans? Trump is doing this because it pleases his base, who absolutely hate blue states, and Trump can't stand that the blue states detest him. He takes it very personally. So just remember, should a future Democratic president punish red states (who used to scream "state's rights") there should be no complaints.

At least you two are honest in conveying your belief that disadvantaged American citizens ought to have to get in line behind what are by definition non-citizen criminals. I wonder if either of you would have the audacity to look a food-insecure American child in the face and tell them they can't eat until a felonious foreigner has had their fill of nutrients for the day -- if there's anything left of course.


What an evil worldview.

Talk about a ridiculous leap. Want a reality check? The food grown to feed that "food insecure child" is typically harvested by an illegal immigrant, aka non-citizen criminal. So who's really starving the child?

Trump’s immigration crackdown is hurting NC farmers

Why should blue city dollars keep flowing like a river to flyover country when they don't even have enough money to pay for their own infrastructure and their farmers are taking handouts by the tens of billions of dollars. What goes around comes around and I'm guessing red states aren't going to like it.

Medicaid and medicare money should also be withheld from states that provide healthcare to illegals at no cost to the illegal. Also withhold education funds fromschool districts that provide free education and meals to the dependents of illegals.

This is the three remaining Democratic candidates’ position on illegal immigration.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graph...0/immigration/

Seattle has a fund to defend illegal aliens from deportation.

So, all you illegal alien apologists, please tell me why you favor spending MY tax money on people who are NOT citizens.

How dare you!

What? The child is food-insecure because they're not eating, either at all or with proper nutrition, you dolt! The fresh produce that Pedro's picking isn't finding its way onto the child's plate.


Even in the instance where there's not enough illegals to work the fields, that runs afoul of the left's argument that there ought to be living wages paid to honest (and presumably LEGAL) workers. You can't have it both ways.

So stop eating the food produced by the farmers and starve to death. At least then you'll be consistent and I won't have to read your nonsense.

Is the food the farmers grow free? No. I pay for the food. After my taxes go to the farmers. So in the end, that ear of corn is about $25.00.

As for the food harvest, fine, don't let them harvest the food. But don't complain when the farms go bankrupt either. And stop giving billions of dollars to farmers who are making more money not growing ANYTHING than they would growing an actual crop. The farmers are stockpiling more food than they can sell, which means in the laws of supply and demand, we have too many farmers. We get it, Trumplicans hate illegals with the fire of a thousand suns. Just don't cry when there aren't any Americans interested in harvesting crops. You can't have it both ways.

A cacophony of gibberish and ignorance that concludes with an act of vacuous parroting. I'm thoroughly uninterested at this point. Best wishes to you nonetheless.
