Bush League Republicans must become extinct before the Republic does.

He is right! Why should we let in people who go on welfare and/or refuse to work?

Ted Kennedy, 1965. It took a couple of generations but it changed the face of America forever.

The issue before us is not 'legal' vs 'illegal' immigration.

It is INVASION of a sovereign power, supported by those in its government who would seek to destroy it.

We have total chaos at the border. No one is stopped from entry!! That “ National guard” presence was a fraud. I just heard the lastest nightly figure of illegal aliens streaming into our country !! 450 per night!!! For you to provide lawyers, food , housing etc at an annual cost of over $38,000 per year. There is no wall.not one foot of new wall!! Then we learn this week that if a criminal alien has a child , he or she is to be caught and released!! I am not dissapointed in this. I am outraged. What we are being told is not what is happening. This is a threat to our national security by foreign invaders at least as serious as the one in Israel and we are doing NOTHING.

When it comes to immigration, words like "must" can't be turned into reality without a border wall that actually lets us enforce our criteria on who comes into the country. Right now the only reality is that anyone who pleases from anywhere in the world can march into the US, and they can realistically expect to remain for the rest of their lives with the help and aid of millions of American liberals - the threat of deportation is obviously not enough to deter anyone.

If we are unable to get a border wall built with Trump in the White House and Republicans in control of both houses of Congress - either through legislation or by executive order - saying "must" about anything regarding illegal immigration is like saying we "must" be able to flap our arms and fly to the moon.

Bump

We no longer have millions of unpopulated acres sitting fallow. We have enough people to thrive; why must we accept the refuse of the world - trash that refuses to speak our language, adopt our culture, and actually expect to work for their food, shelter and education.

We ave no need for even more parasites. We already have too many

Take care of Americans and grab the culture back from the Orwellian left and push our moral sense4 back to the Nation under God of our Forefathers.

For every immigrant mexico sends over we need to send a welfare queen and her kids back to them in trade. Supposed to be Fair Trade isn’t it?

The elites want more 60 IQ imports so it makes them look smarter—NOTE: it doesn’t

When people Tweet, email, Text, etc.... it’s suppose to be the way we talk.... This is not a college English 101 paper, a book or a magazine article. There is a difference that I think many people fail to grasp.

Have you ever noticed that people do not talk the way books and articles are written? Why do we write a different way than we speak?

I’ve been told it’s proper English. My answer was according to whom? Who determines what is proper and what is not? Well when you go down that rabbit hole it boils back to the King (aka one person in power) from long ago.0

The last time I checked the U.S. was not a monarchy, but a Republic. Let the market determine that and not some loser control freak that only sees things from their point of view only at a certain period in time. We live in a big dynamic universe. The only constant in life is change.

Yes. No. 4 on the ToDo List:

~ Reverse the Magnet ~
This is what it takes:
   1. Secure the border in a transparently verifiable way;
   2. End the anchor-baby interpretation of the 14th Amendment;
   3. Enforce E-Verify without exception and with severe penalties;
   4. End chain migration. Entry per individual qualifications, not family ties;
   5. Deportation upon contact with any law enforcement agency - federal, state, or local;
   6. No government benefits beyond critical emergency care (and that ought to be billed back to the home government);
   7. No "Path to Citizenship" - EVER - for anyone who has entered the US illegally.
Any measure which does not accomplish these things is unacceptable. It is de facto amnesty. And it will inevitably, ineluctably encourage millions and millions more illegal entries.

I still remember all those complaints about the Vietnamese boat people that showed up in the USA in the 1980's. But they, their flat-out hard work made them an economic asset, not a liability.

The problematic ones come only for the wealth and intend, each, to keep their foreign, corrupt culture. They expect to continue enslaving others for their wealth. That’s not merit.

The good ones come, often married or getting married to an American, to live in a more moral country and culture. They intend to earn their wealth with the work of their own hands. That’s merit.
