There is something about illegals and migrants. Since they don’t have valid ID, they cause trouble but make it very difficult to prosecute them. Traditionally the solution was to move them along. Now though, they just ignore them. I am thinking mostly of the rape gangs in Europe.

Trump knew the Dems would reject it.

Of course he did. He is looking ahead to November 6, 2018, and this plan makes Trump look like King Solomon

Now it’s 1.8 million. Yesterday it was 690,000. Is betrayal certain now?

If the wall was approved but not funded in the past them Trump should just start a GO Fund Me account for the wall. He will have all the money he needs in 30 days.

Nobody feels bad for illegals, Durbin. You can use the term “hostage” all you want regarding illegals and Americans do not care.

I am shocked that they rejected it.

It's perfectly obvious that it would be rejected. There's no way the Democrats would agree to any of the terms, especially chain migration. At this point, I think the Dems would probably even consider the wall as too much.

I’m not confused...and I don’t feel guilty about blaming those who do bad deeds. I don’t want them here if they didn’t come legally.

I paid a lot for my maids who robbed me. The owner of the company made a lot of money using Mexicans to do his work while he charged prices that would cover Americans doing the actual work.

That being said...there are a LOT of idiots here in Portland. They can’t think their way out of a paper bag.

Your comment about Levin tells me you know absolutely nothing whatsoever about him and obviously don’t listen to his program


Levin is a shameless, self-absorbed blowhard. He gave obama pass for 8 years and defended him whenever his eligibility was questioned by a caller. I listened to Levin talk over and shout down a caller time and again...all he does is hawk his tiresome books and tell us how smart he is...

Because it was the DAMAGE DONE by people like Levin and Cruz who took their SWEET LITTLE TIME in finally deciding to support Trump. Made the election, MUCH CLOSER than need be and is the primary reason that Trump is having to deal with this ‘collusion’ crap and the prosecutor.

If people who CLAIM to be conservative have THAT MUCH TROUBLE figuring out whether Hillary or Trump would be better for the country, we really question whether they deserve ANY respect.

How they hell are we supposed to win elections when half of the ‘leaders’ of our party wants the OTHER SIDE to win...or takes forever to finally support our candidate?

Do not even begin to think Dreamers will look at Trump as their savior.

These people are radicalized leftists who know where they want their lesders; In the most progressive leftist Democrat party they can have.

The last thing Democrats want is for this issue to be resolved. President Trump has called their bluff.
