90% of it is none of the Feds' business.

And legalizing illegals is an outrageous proposal.

Not my numbers. As always, your mileage may vary
Since none of those who were polled know what's in the bill, that number is meaningless.

yes the military is preparing for THE IMPACTS
Yes you can by expediting conversion to green energy such as electric cars, yes short term is also included to mitigate the impact of climate change.

Well, it would be a carrot for a few more million illegals. Dems love illegals. In a short amount of time their kids are voting age.
