This time, the effort is meeting with less resistance from inside the Trump administration because of the success that Stephen Miller, the president’s senior policy adviser and an architect of his anti-immigration agenda, has had in installing allies in key positions who are ready to sign off on deep cuts.

More and more, I see Stephen Miller as Tom Hagen, the consigliere who is heard but not seen.

Yes, please. We’ve more than done our share for the next 30-40 years.

I blame the leader of Italy who visited recently. They probably have a bet on who can get down to zero imports first lol. Italy doing very well stopping the boatloads coming in - Spain picking up the slack. Looks like Spain will soon be conquered again.

Funny you should mention Stephen Miller - I was just thinking about him today, wondering where he is. I like him.

Anyone watching Fox right now? They’re showing the remains of our Korean war vets coming off the planes, their caskets covered in the American flag. This is NOT being televised by ABC, NBC, CBS,or CNN. Disgusting lack of respect by these stations.

Seems to me that if the Democrats ended their policy of open borders, the President would be a lot more amiable to admitting actual refugees.

Europe is enlightened. Canada is enlightened. Plenty of room and Good Socialism there for them to enjoy. We should not be asking them to suffer under the traumas of a Trump administration.

Zero, except for any S. African farmers/boers who are going to be murdered unless they leave the Zimbabwe 2.0 paradise the ANC is making.
