“Mr. President: reopen the government and we can work to resolve our differences over border security,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer proclaimed.

Over and over Democrats assured us they were serious about border security, but they would only negotiate once the government was back at work.

It is now more than 100 days since President Trump ended the shutdown and Democrats are not at the table. Instead, they are wasting 12 hours on the House floor reciting line by line from a very expensive taxpayer-funded Two Act drama -- The Mueller report. (In case you don’t have the time – Spoiler Alert: There was no collusion).

Americans are tired of the theater. The only concession we’ve gotten from Democrats is their admission of the emergency at the border, after accusing the president of “manufacturing a crisis” in January. But where is the Democrats’ plan?

Throughout this debate, President Trump has offered practical solutions to address a broken immigration system and concessions to the other side. Democrats have offered nothing, except obstruction and resistance, their modus operandi since November 2016.

Now, after months of hard work from senior administration officials, the president has a common-sense plan that will not only end the crisis but modernize our legal immigration system. The proposal would benefit our economy, our workers and our immigrants, who are already here legally, for years to come.

The current system is broken. It has not seen structural reform in 54 years – a decade before Joe Biden came to the swamp. Today, only 12 percent of immigrants coming into the United States are admitted based on their job skills. The vast majority are distant relatives of people selected at random.

The Left HATES solutions. The Left wants problems and chaos so they can implement their dream of Global Totalitarian Government.

They will get their wish someday in the near future. We’ll all be gone (Jesus will have taken his own to Heaven) and they’ll get what they’re asking for: unimaginable horrific hell on earth such as never has been seen or imagined.

Any time you see the words “common sense solutions” and “immigration” in the same sentence, you know it’s going to be a catastrophe for Conservatives and America!

• Deport illegal aliens on contact with LE.
• Vigorously enforce the law on employers of illegal aliens.
• Build a border fence, use high-tech surveillance and fund adequate personnel to maintain security.
• Eliminate entitlements for illegal aliens.
• End the "anchor baby" policy.
• Use E-VERIFY for all Employment and Benefits.

Do those things and illegal aliens will deport themselves and pay for the trip.
Motivation is a powerful force.

TRUE. - IF I was the POTUS I would get a law passed that makes HIRING and/or CONTINUING TO EMPLOY any illegal alien a FEDERAL FELONY & go after the lawbreakers 100%, after a 90 day “grace period” to allow the employers to verify & discharge identified illegal aliens.

IF they cannot work “under the table”, 90%+ will SELF-DEPORT.

Yours, TMN78247

Demonrats shrug because they are too stupid to understand his proposals...
