The word “cowardly” does not imply intent, but a lack of courage. These politicians are pandering to Hispanic voters and the cheap labor express because they are afraid to oppose those political influences in their state and congressional district.

Who knows what they actually believe as that often cannot be discern concerning a pandering, cowardly politician.

Repubs are a bunch of rats. dems stick together and their candidate is a killer/thief/brain damaged.

I was very disappointed to see the same old same old get elected yesterday.

I will keep pounding away on twitter at the bernie crowd.

Got them all riled today with the purchase of a 600k house.

They’re NOT going to turn out. Haf will stay home.

If they make up 25 percent of the den nominee’s votes, isn’t that like a 12 percent hit for hillary if half dont show up.

Please help me with my math.

No, they do not wish to oppose those political influences. They are in sympathy with them. They have been so for many decades, in fact.

Who are they trying to bribe?
Blacks are not so for illegal immigration, there is no major voting blocks of legal Latinos around.

If anything being pro immigration in an area where there are few jobs is an anchor around your neck I would think.

Maybe, but one can never be certain of a politician’s true motives because advancing and preserving their own careers will always be the first priority for some of them.

Bill Clinton and Al Gore both opposed abortion when campaigning only for votes in their home states.

Hillary and Harry Reed and other Dims opposed illegal immigration until they realized Third World immigrants were the only hope for future Dim majorities.

The examples are endless.

Every Republican that loses his seat will stay in Washington as a lobbyist. I would say severance pay from the Clinton foundation.

The “system” is not used so in a sense it is broken. If laws were enforced there wouldn’t be any immigration problems.

Indeed; if I had a 1964 Mustang fastback 289 in my garage and didn’t use it, I wouldn’t describe it as “broken” if it still ran.

It’s only “broken” because Rinos like these collude with the Democrats to refuse to enforce the law.

Has any country, anywhere, any time, ever survived throwing its borders wide open to everyone who wants in?

I will be voting in Illinois this year and I will vote libertarian instead of Mark Kirk. I would love to vote against Bob Dolt, but I am not in his district.


Well done. I also won’t be voting GOP down ticket due to party not fully supporting Trump.

The GOP think they have free reign to back stab Trump. Only some push back from Trump voters will get them to stop their Quisling actions.

The system is fine. What’s “broken” is rule of law.

“ensure companies have the workers they need” - AND at a wage they are willing to pay, which isn’t much!
