Immigration is the ONLY issue of real importance right now because everything else hinges on what happens with it.

If we don’t get control of the immigration system - and by this I don’t just mean build a wall, but deport all the illegals and drastically cut down on legal immigration - there won’t be anything else left. Once all these nice “family-oriented, hard-working” immigrants start voting Democrat, the Dems will have a complete lock on government at all levels.

You know what that means?

Obamacare will be repealed...to be replaced with universal mandatory single payer.

It means total gun control. It means carbon taxes out the wazoo. It means no rollback of abortion or gay marriage or any other social issue ever again. It means 60%+ top marginal tax rates plus 50,000 pages of new regulations.

In short, everything else depends on getting immigration right. Don’t do that, and you hand the keys to the entire country to the Democrats.

This is the part that matters to me, and here’s why:

I think you are right. However, I think even more than immigration is the Federal income tax system. However, I think reforming it has as much chance as what you mentioned above, so I’ve moved on to things that can actually be changed.

Thing is, too much of the economy is wrapped up in immigration and the tax system both. If we went to a flat tax, all the tax attorneys, accountants, etc. would absolutely revolt. And likewise with illegal immigration. If we actually did press a button and they were all gone, the country would absolutely collapse. I don’t like it, but that is just the way it is. Things have to be phased out gradually. That is why I actually like Trump MORE now that he is talking about adult answers to the illegal immigration issue.

But again, I really need Obamacare to go away before it becomes like the other two. Likewise AGW.

AND if you care to recall Immigration was the very FIRST problem Trump addressed. He was laughed at and ridiculed ad infinitum and he continues to address immigration DAILY in his speeches. But that’s not good enough for you. LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS and try, just try, to see that no matter what comes down the pike, Trump is the ONLY choice we have to SAVE the USA.
Please take your ifs, ands, and buts, to the outhouse and give yourself a double punishment for even suggesting Clinton would be better for the US.
I am SICK and TIRED of the CRUZITES who continue to poke holes in anything Trump says and CONTINUE to work AGAINST him right along with the media in casting doubts because of their own 2 year old mentality. Waaaaa, can’t have my cookie I’m gonna go home. Did you or Mr.Douglas ever hear of the POWER of POSITIVE THINKING? CUT OUT THE NEGATIVITY!!!! and stocking up on ammunition won’t help if Clinton takes away your guns.
The DIE IS CAST and it is either TRUMP or Clinton. America lives to fight another day, or America dies. Your bellyaching is getting obnoxious to those of us trying to get the vote out to secure our future as a NATION! Wise up or SHIP OUT!

Yeah, and the bestest way to get 'er done is to get Hillary elected.

THEN we can finally do something about immigration.
