And, yes, immigration a higher priority. Hopefully it becomes more action than talk. Now that Trump has drawn a clear line in the sand, saying that Mexico must stop all illegal traffic or he closes the border this week, maybe time for action. Five days to watch.
Good!
Build The Wall.
Stop ALL immigration for the time being.
Refuse any and ALL ‘caravans’ that show up.
Close the whole border if need be; Canada, too!
Deport ALL known illegals. NOW!
The pro-illegal invasion GOP’ers burrowed into DJTs administration are busy distracting attention from the border.
If I’d have one piece of advice for Trump, don’t make the mistake of handling problems serial.
Find people you trust and delegate.
With serial thinking, all the left needs to do is keep changing the target.
Which is exactly what they have been doing.
We have more to lose as far as elections from not addressing health care than we do regarding immigration.
If the President and Republicans do not have a GREAT plan in place, and soon, then the border is merely an issue until the Democrats win in 2020, and take the Senate.
I’m not saying ‘immigration isn’t an issue’, nor am I saying that there is any strictly constitutional basis for healthcare as a ‘right’. I *am* saying that if we don’t come up with a REALLY good plan, one where any working or retired Citizen can get whatever they need without danger of bankruptcy, we will lose, we will lose BIG and then the border will not be an issue.
The “but there’s nothing in the Constitution about healthcare” argument matters only to even a few on FR, and to almost no one else. There’s nothing in the Constitution about the war on drugs, the space program, EMP attacks on our infrastructure or any other of a number of issues that affect us.
We are handing the Democrats 2020 all in order to satisfy a microscopic percentage of even the most conservative part of the party.
Get back to basics in order that our grandchildren may enjoy their Creator-endowed lives, rights, and liberties!
Our Declaration of Independence acknowledges a Creator as the source of the unalienable rights that governments are formed to secure. This acknowledgement was the very foundation of the Constitution of the United States of America. What are those unalienable rights with which we are endowed? They may be described in many ways, but English jurist Sir William Blackstone wrote in 1766, "these may be reduced to three principal articles:"We hold these truths to be self-evident...all men are... endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men."
Can’t this administration do more than one thing at a time? You can bet that the Democrats are going to be promising the moon on health care, and Trump needs to have a credible response.
Postponed h’care & re-focused on immigration?
G-R-E-A-T. He *should* be focused on that which the govt has a Const. authorized role.
Now, if only it’s get the F* OUT of h’care and actually DO it’s job vs. immigration, I’d be a happier camper.
Federal issues are dealt with through Congressional bills.
A few people with safe seats need to do some typing work.
No sane American can doubt the need to prevent invading hordes of aliens from taking over almost all lower-skilled work in the USA.
No sane Americann can doubt the need for lower health insurance premiums for the tens of millions uncovered in the face of likely future need.
It is insane to expect a person that hasn’t been treated by a doctor for twenty years to pay the same insurance premiums as a person who annually receives $20,000 or more of care.
We need tax caps placed in the Constitution to protect the American middle class.
An income tax cap amendment, a property tax cap amendment and an inheritance tax exemption amendment at the very least.
We may not be able to cut taxes, but we can certain cap taxation.
The 1% can protect themselves by fleeing and claiming asylum from the persecution of Democratic scoundrels.
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion”
US Constitution, Article IV, Section 4
Protection against invasion is the fundamental purpose of the federal government.
A Constitutional provision can be enforced by court order - treaties and statutes be damned.
The President needs to file suit against the Congress for ample wall and detention facility money, border staffing and refugee convention denunciation.
If Congress can petition a court for the tapes of a President, the President can go to court too.
ACA participation is down. Medicaid is down. Why?
JOBS!
JOBS are the best Healthcare Policy of Trump.
But now immigration and trade policies are suppressing a bigger GDP and job growth and economic growth.
Trump would be smart to focus on more deregulation. (Whether he tweets about it or not is a separate issue.)
Deregulation is win win for everyone ... but the bureaucrats. Maybe the bureaucrats could fill some of the private sector jobs going begging... if private employers could be convinced the ex-bureaucrats would be good workers.
Note to Limbaugh: I think the dude can multitask. It’s not an either/or.
Health care can wait. Abortion can wait. We need to fix immigration FIRST.
