Yes, in other words, behind the tough rhetoric, the actual policies he advocates aren't all that different from the mealy-mouthed Republicans he's running against. Didn't Marco Rubio say almost the same thing?
Oh, I missed that part. Well, then, let’s get this miracle-worker into office.
We have no walls on the borders, but illegals and other speaking Spanish have walls up keeping Americans from their jobs.
English has got to be the national language or Spanish will cut off most all Americans from their own jobs.
So many illegals come here as adults to do what were meant to be beginning one year jobs and they make them life careers. The ones who go into shift managers mostly only hire Spanish speaking Hispanics like themselves.
There are entire towns all over the southwest (increasingly not restricted to border regions) where for all intents and purposes you’re in Mexico: linguistically, culturally, and economically. How can anybody who claims to value our identity as a nation think this is a desirable state of affairs?
I think we have already a third of the nation of Mexico in the United States. Why don’t we annex Mexico?
It looks more like Mexico annexing parts of the United States.
That is his stated position, a real strengthened e-verify and cutting off government benefits to illegals. I do not think he opposes a wall either, but I think we all know the wall would take forever to get built.
That’s great, I didn’t know his exact position.
The walk isn’t necessary if we cut off the incentives to come here. It’s been used as a talking point too much and we know it will never be built.
That, and it will be used to keep us in, like the Berlin Wall, when the liberals achieve their communist ‘utopia’.
It is jobs that Americans won’t do for the price that an illegal alien will do it for.
Good point
“It is jobs that Americans won’t do for the price that an illegal alien will do it for.”
In the 1980s drywall was mostly done by blacks in SoCal. I’m pretty sure it was union work, it paid well, and they could make a decent living doing it.
But then contractors found that they could hire illegals for a lot less, since illegals are willing to live 20 to a house (does wonders for SoCal neighborhoods) while they send their money back to Mexico.
After having completely displaced SoCal’s black drywallers it didn’t take long for someone to organize the illegals and demand higher wages.
You saw this happen across industry after industry, to the point where Americans won’t get hired because they don’t speak Spanish in their own country.
You have hit the nail.
Trump has had the advantage of being all over the place with his position.
I personally like the idea of legal status for someone who has lived here for at least 10 years, never had a brush with the police, never used welfare, never applied for free lunch program, Etc. I do not think many of these families exist, but they could become legal (non-voting) residences when the wall is functional. I would pay for the wall with a transfer fee from their wire transfers back to Mexico.
Trump would do well to make this position clear. I believe this position is something he articulated during his campaign and I also understand there are supporters who would take a stronger position, but I would like to see the above as it would have the effect of returning California to California citizen voters and maybe break the stranglehold the left has currently in this state.
