I don’t know.
If Trump does approve the immigrants, but builds the wall, then I am aok with that.
That depends, on whether he gets the wall built.
Ryan is making noises like that will happen. If it does, then we are all good.
But it’s very, very important.
That’s about where I am. This was always about a deal and Donald wrote the book on making deals so let’s see what kind of deal he made.
That’s right. Let’s invite all the 3rd world predators thieves and robbers on the street into our house. Clothe them and feed them. Kiss their asses. Give them our sons daughters and wives. Then hire a contractor to brick-in all our windows and doors while we are all inside together.
Where the hell do people like you come from?
Ditto that sentiment. If we accept 800,000 already assimilated English-speaking immigrants to prevent 8MM non-assimilated, non-English speaking illegals, it's a win.
Any amnesty must only begin *after* the wall is complete. We all know how previous promises of future enforcement for current amnesty end: we get amnesty but they just never get around to the enforcement.
Build the wall, enforce e-Verify, proper visa tracking, and when all that is complete (not started; complete) then, maybe, we talk about some limited amnesty (permanent guests, no Green Card, no citizenship).
The ideal would be return to pre-1965 immigration numbers and rules along with the wall, enforcement, etc.
Any amnesty is poison; it will quickly grow to include more classes of people and even if the class does not grow the numbers will turn out to be far higher than promised (think Reagan’s amnesty).
DACA was *deferred* action. So that deferral period has ended. The only thing that would put pressure on congress to complete (not start; complete) the wall would be the clock running on DACA (and other) illegal aliens.
Any deal that only includes funding or start on the wall will lead to a cheat whereby future funding is never provided (not canceled, just never funded).
Any deal that refers to border security is also poison. So called ‘high tech’ solutions will be promised that are not really verifiable (in the way a physical barrier is) and would be turned off/defunded it it ever actually worked.
Build the wall then renege on the other parts. That is what Dems always do.
