You mean like rolling back regulations, lowering unemployment, dealing with North Korea, lowering taxes, cutting food stamps, strengthening the military, a booming economy and getting allies to pay more for defense?

How about a little action on immigration. Talks it up yet then we hear the numbers. And enforcement, where? If we are to deport millions, time is getting short to start.

This is the second time he has said ‘close it down’.

The first time was a week or two ago, and everyone interpreted as closing down the government. I think he meant the border then too.

Let’s wrap our brains around the utter magnitude of the problem.

OK.

There is no need to deport 30 million illegal immigrants. There is no need to build a wall on our southern border either.

The "rules-of-engagement" are the real problem. Let's suppose that we change them.

Lets try:

Mandatory use of the e-verify system by all employers - with substantial escalating fines for multiple violations and prison terms for corporate executives who commit systemic violations. Illegal immigrants should not be permitted to be employed in this country.

All official Government documents and business to be conducted only in English.

Illegal immigrants to be ineligible for any Government subsidies or welfare payments of any kind. Very specifically that would exclude their children from attending public elementary and secondary schools.

Removal of public officials found to be aiding or abetting violations of immigration laws. Prosecution and prison time for the most defiant ones.

Progressive taxes on remittance payments to Mexico based upon the number of arrests (not convictions) of Mexican nationals for any crimes in the United States - including immigration violations.

oh is that what you meant by “y’all could walk away”?

you should break away ASAP, and enforce your own illegal immigration laws. i worry about Texas turning purple. I’ve lived in 2 places in Texas, both dem strongholds and both heavily invaded.

The exception I might grant is a marriage. If you marry a noncitizen they should be given a green card

So that makes the invasion acceptable?

well enjoy being a minority. I was born and raised there, and will happily never return.

Once upon a time we did make everything in the USA. If we hadn’t we’d not have been able to gear up fast for WW2. Thank DUMBO all our important industries went overseas.
