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.
I have to disagree with you. Healthcare is a red herring, a distraction. We will lose EVERYTHING if we do not deal with this invasion. I wish someone clever could take that photo posted above and photoshop all those young men heading into this country into military uniforms. These young men are the army of the left and when there are enough of them, they will take this country over.
Yes,actually you are. Just like the ancient Romans demanding "bread and circuses" while the patricians destroy your country over cheap labor.
“We have more to lose as far as elections from not addressing health care than we do regarding immigration.”
That’s true. Low-IQ voters, i.e., Democrat voters, “get” the healthcare issue more than they do illegal immigration. Even though the immigration probably impacts their lives negatively more than healthcare, it’s a nebulous thing. Their little pea-pickin’ brains can’t comprehend it. It’s too haaaarrrd.
