You are nothing more than an instant gratification Millennial. I think we could absolutely fund a social program if we got rid of the huge flow of immigrants. Not that I want to, but we could. Instant gratification? This problems needed fixing since he 60s. You all want to claim we MAGA’d and kick the can down the road. He won his election because he said he would fix the immigration problem and it isn’t fixed and his second term is no guarantee. He could turn the immigration rhetoric up to 10, start tweeting about it etc... but he isn’t. He could definitely do more I know that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about all the visas we give out every year? What’s he doing about those? That’s a far bigger issue than Mexicans running over the border. Yeah man I’m gonna vote for Warren, lol.

Baker Boy 1,484 Posted October 16, 2019 Louisiana Republicans score big legislative wins Amid record turnout for what is usually a sleepy off-year, irregular election, Louisiana Republicans locked up enough seats in the state Senate to amount to a super majority.

Hardcore troubadour 12,621 Posted December 11, 2019 New trade deal, horrible NAFTA to be replaced. Democrats trying to claim credit, as if it were their idea. They weren't even talking about it until Trump brought it up and made it one of his campaign points. Promises made, promises kept. He should rename it the "magic wand" trade deal.

FlyinHeadlock 459 Posted December 12, 2019 I voted for Dan. Talked to him at his campaign kickoff. It was at somebody's house. Really cool. About 30 of us in the living room asking questions. Super smart guy but agree, left out why the Democrats want it at zero. Only thing comes to mind is they don't want drug prices going down.
