I have my suspicions that this child crisis was orchestrated to pressure republicans to support the "more moderate" immigration bill (and to cover up the IG testimony of course).
But it didn't work out that way. The conservative immigration bill fell only 20 votes short, and the "more moderate" bill seems to be doomed this week (if it's not pulled altogether).
I think they are learning that the all their usual tricks and intimidations are not moving the needle in their direction.
And once Ryan and Boehner's moderates are gone in November, Amnesty for ANY illegals is a dead goose.
They're realizing that they're up against the wall with Trump (and the electorate)
As I said, the winds are shifting.
As one of the earliest Trump supporters, I agree completely.
This is his issue.
The dems were all against this. The GOP was sold out on this.
This is why Trump won.
Music to my ears!
I was once willing to compromise with the vile DACA bunch with an average age of 26 years, far too many of them with criminal records and falling far short of the average educational achievements of their same age group in America. But I've changed my mind after seeing all the hate and anarchy they wish to cause in America. Too many on public assistance and the high achievers are far too few.
Throw them all out and let them get in line at Citizen Servcies in Mexico etc. If they have excelled at something which benefits America, great, welcome them in. But the lion's share of these bums aren't people who add value to our country.
Let them eat cake on someone's else's dime!!
Well said!
Once again the enemy is running a ruse or disguise. Hand over citizenship for a wall ... truth is no wall will be built if citizenship is given.. Other assorted goodies are in play for people that should not be in this country But the wall is The ruse and is the disguise and the enemy seeks our (United States) destruction via a ruse and disguise. I cannot wake those that do not know history of mankind. They all voted for hitlery
I wish someone would have the guts to tell the truth - the people supporting these illegals are demanding the U.S.import and support a peasant class. These invaders have no skills, are bare!y functionally literate and will be a drain on society their entire lives.
The question begs, will it be with or without Majority Leader McConnell because somebody needs to challenge this boat anchors authority and succeed in ousting him...
Filthy language in first sentence alert. From an immigrant who should have been deported when he was caught smoking pot in public and for pretending to be Sarah Palin’s obstetrician.
Has anyone noticed the publication of articles with foul language lately? Seems to be a lot of it lately.
Andrew's an expert on positions going forward as he's so often on the receiving end.
Did Andrew Sullivan wake up from his sex-crazed promiscuous lifestyle and drug-indexed haze of AIDS drugs to see the light — if only ever so briefly?
McJuan once agreed to build the “ damn fence”.
Never happened.
I’d love the wall as much as anyone. But, why do we focus, so much on the f*cking wall?
Why aren’t we focusing on the draw that lures them all here? The welfare benefits. And it goes for both the illegals and the “refugees” that are coached on all the right things to say when interviewed. I know that because I’ve seen it, firsthand, while working in Iraq. NGO personnel telling them what to say when they are interviewed.
Maybe someone can assist. Is there not a court ruling that states that ALL kids, illegal or not, have a right to go to school in the US, once they are here. If so, our taxes go up. We pay for the breakfast and lunch. Have to hire interpreters and have ESL classes, all at our costs and we don’t get to decide. Our houses miraculously are worth 25% more the minute illegals move in.
God forbid, we ever determine that the 14th Amendment does NOT guarantee, Birthright Citizenship, and most of this crap goes away, anyway. Take away that citizenship and the benefits that go with it, and the problem starts to take care of itself.
Start taking away the economic bait, whether it be jobs or Section 8 & EBT, and they’ll stop. The Wall is just a bonus at that point.
Trump is not a dictator. It’s not his wall.
It’s our wall, and we are doing the dictation.
Trump took the only actions he could legally take and took the issue away from them.
Threatening Barron and harassing people didn't help either.
Short of a military action, is there any other option to stop the invasion of illegal aliens than the wall??
One of the major reasons that happened is because of amendments that watered it down from the original Bob Goodlatte bill. That is why Louie Gohmert voted against it.
It is interesting that because he is a suffer of Trump Derangement Syndrome, even a supposedly intelligent liberal even a virulent Trump hater like Sullivan still doesn’t understand what happened. He still thinks he and his anti Americans made Trump back down ( see Uncle Remus The Rabbit in the Brier Patch). Nevertheless, this is one enemy who is ready to cave and we ought to welcome him to the basement.
