The Trump campaign is bringing back another oldie but goodie

The Democrats continue to not listen to their constituents (including me)… the boarder is such a basic common sense issue.

Haul off to jail all the Americans who hire those illegally in the US. Make it a Federal crime to hire those illegally in the US with stiff fines and jail time.

Enforcement action through deportation. Haul off those who are here illegally. Bolster the court system to clear the backlog of asylum seekers.

Those here legally, temporary work, and asylum seekers should not be ostracized. Stop the madness!

 

Pretty much agree ... greatly expand the work programs until they reach a balance with the demand, and so we know who is here ... then strictly enforce the rest of the laws. I'd also give people who work in the programs faithfully and without legal troubles a path to citizenship.

 

It was Drumpf and his congressional lackeys who killed a comprehensive bill that would have addressed all of your points and more, not the dems!

 

Agreed. First we have to ensure the supply of immigrant labor can legally meet demand. Too many businesses and key industries rely on immigrant labor. To punish those that hire the labor when they have no other options would be counter-productive. Too bad we didn't pursue the Gang of 8 solution when we had the chance over a decade ago.

 

Mostly agree but I do agree with others who say there has to be some kind of amnesty for those here. Otherwise we're going to spend billions and billions of dollars trying to deport illegals while ruining our economy in the process. I don't like to reward that they're here illegally but the only thing that makes sense

 

Exactly arrest all those who hire illegals and the problem goes away. Unfortunately that would mean we would half to arrest about half the members of congress. lol. But maybe that is a good thing.

 

...and of course you gloss right past the last line there, bc the Dems pulled a Lucy to Charlie Brown there, and are itching to do it again.

That concession was made for a wall.

How's that wall coming yall?

 

You mean this wall? That got destroyed by the annual monsoon floods. Tis the season for them again as it's usually July - Sept.



And Trump tried everything to discourage undocumented immigration. His success? According to CATO, he accomplished nothing.

The only thing that would discourage undocumented immigrants coming here is a reason to stay in their home country. Otherwise, desperate people will do what they have been doing for generations. Come to the US for a better life.

Meanwhile, we have an appetite for their labor. There is no reason why we shouldn't have some sort of mechanism to allow said labor to legally meet demand. Unfortunately, twice the Rs blocked this type of legislation that would create such a system. In 2007, along with the far left Bernie Sanders, and again in 2013 with the Gang of 8.

 

Can we make it through one thread without someone spelling "border" like "boarder?" The challenge has been issued, will it be accepted?

 

Trump wasn't elected until almost 30 years after Reagan left office. The wall was barely started and far from finished, and all kinds of resistance to its advancement.

So yeah, let's just pretend to pay for something we'll only ever pretend to get, rather than offering any real concessions.

Even whores don't spread their legs until after they collect payment.

So until there is a commitment to finish the wall, per rule of law, let's enforce the hell out of the laws on the books....

(and let yall pretend champs of immigrants nut the hell up, and actually promote a change to the law that yall actually pretend to want).

 

Because it's too hard to infer from context what someone's referring to?

 

First swift boat and now this. Getting desperate with no new material

 

Yeah. What bad could happen if we deported up to 50% of our agricultural workers and create massive foodstuff shortages? And families? If one parent is undocumented, split them up! Who cares about families!

As you state, this issue has been going on for generations. Know when it wasn't a major problem? From 1945 through 1962, when we had the Bracero Program, and allowed for supply of immigrants to legally meet demand. Why can't we have another program like that again? We've tried everything else and know what has worked? Nothing. And nothing ever will. An expanded guest worker program isn't a cure-all, but there's good reason why twice bipartisan committees suggested it. It's a big part of making the problem better.

 

Its not even a their/there situation, I dont understand why so many people misspell it in such a weird way. It doesnt even look right! I cant imagine its an autocorrect thing either.

 

For the love of covfefe!!! My bad.

 

He said it. Don’t forget it.
“black jobs”
what is a “black job”?
