Just wow. Can’t wait to see what this does for Trump’s numbers. And I hope it generates some fresh public polling on the general subject of immigration policy. I think it’s a winning issue with lots of pent up demand. This week is going to be fun watching the media go bananas.

The companies involved will need to look long and hard at requirements to make sure the cost is worth the effort and affect.

Or they might move the effected operations overseas. Just saying...

No, this congress won’t. Pray America is waking. Start with president Trump. His bully pulpit just might wake up America.

Vastly more than 90% of illegals have jobs and would be welcomed back by Trump.

His businesses would not be profitable without them.

Your false assertions regarding what you imagine the positions of other candidates may be are of no value to the debate.

None of it can be done unilaterally by a president, and congress has demonstrated its desire to screw us the first chance they get.

Trump’s absolute need for the aliens in his business is the driving force in this question.

Raise the wage for H1B to make it less attractive and easy to hire aliens instead of US. You need to read up on this a little. The Immigration Act sets minimum wages for aliens so as not to “encourage” slave labor.

I've noticed that, also. Not sure how many of these Sunday morning programs are live or pre-recorded. We'll know if they're ignoring it with news this afternoon and evening.

It's going to impossible for them to hide from Trump. Out comes Mr. Blow Torch against the press.

Here they are. Easy targets for Trump.:-)

Do you honestly believe that the same congress that wouldn’t even defund Planned Barrenhood would pass such a law?

I bet there are some penalties on the books now for hiring illegal aliens. But I don't know what they are and they are certainly not being enforced with any regularity, if at all.

Trump is still a NY Democrat without a political track record. We've all heard the promises before Potomac fever sets in.

I think we've got a case of legacy fever here, more than anything else. Much like how Obama was effectively willing to trade anything for an agreement with Iran, so too will Trump likely be not only willing, but extend every effort into enacting the policies he's proposing.

One of the largest appealing aspects of Trump winning isn't his policies, however. It is the apparatus he's developed with his team to crunch through tens of thousands of resumes and applications. That means hundreds, if not thousands, of appointments a new president makes won't be determined by a tired 4 man political team in a hotel room, but conducted based upon skills and suitability for the job.

That alone should reshape the federal government, and prevent many of the massive backstabs appointed political hacks have given to incoming presidents in the past. Sure, a couple bad apples will squeak in, but since most of those positions won't be filled with the grandson of the Speaker or his second niece, etc, there will be little protection that would prevent their being fired.

I have to look at Trump as a long term investment - short term, I don't expect to get much of what I want, longer term, I expect some pretty hefty dividends, even if Potomac fever sets in.

Just an FYI for anyone who might own Ann Coulter's new book or who might be thinking of purchasing it...

She tweeted that she doesn't care if Trump performs abortions in the White House if he follows his immigration plan.

Her career deserves to tank, and fast. I just finished reading her book, and I have most of her others, but they're going to the dump.

Smart foreign trade deals will take care of products imported from foreign countries. When the same outfits find out it is more profitable to utilize the much cheaper energy cost in USA, the skilled labor force in USA, and the low income tax rates Trump is proposing, and the tariffs they pay to export to USA, they will all come back here.

Why do you think many Japanese outfits manufacture products in USA?

OK Mr Democrat, keep on with the big lie until it ossifies.

They may be just like you (I’m guessing by your drivel that you are an illegal alien) but they are not just like me.

The real question is how many in Congress have proposed sealing the border
to be elected, then drop the subject after being inflicted with Potomac fever?

I'm also talking about politicians in Congress who have voted down
sealing the border. No policy on immigration will work without sealing
the border first. Cruz will and has spoken directly on solving this crisis
long before Da'Donald woke up from his Corporate slumber.

And Cruz has the track record of actually trying. But just you and all others remember
that Cruz cannot as a Congressman do it alone, and neither can the other Conservatives
in Congress. And neither can Trump.

The President can make these changes happen, and only the President at this point.
Secure Fence Act of 2006 was supposed to do the job, but somehow got forgotten
after 700 miles were built.

On January 23, 2008 the 110th Congress introduced Reinstatement of
the Secure Fence Act of 2008 (H.R. 5124)
By DHS.

DHS is under the direct control of the President. So the President can
finish the border.

In May 2010, Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) unsuccessfully reintroduced
his “Finish the Fence” amendment for the second time.


My point is that we've been lied to so many times it's inconceivable that
a candidate without a track record is taken at full face value in his words.
And not just any Republican candidate, but a NY-Democrat running as a Republican
and talking all the same lines as previous Democrats and Republicans.


Are Americans really that stupid? No. I pray not this time around. The Donald
is the flavor of the month, he talks a good game, but in reality is just
another Gdamn NY Democrat spouting Conservative values to get elected.

And the bastards blindly supporting this loon are going to have their just deserts
handed to them on a silver platter by myself and other "real" conservatives.

We are vetting candidates at this time, I suggest removing the blinders
and that ability to just brush aside reality because it just will not
do for our Constitution and the future of our Country.

"Correct but if he is the candidate you watch the rats bring out every illegal to vote once, twice, thrice........they’ll do whatever they can to defeat him."

If Trump then came out and said, "The democrats are using illegals to steal this election from you 'we the people.' Come out and show them how much we love this country. Don't let the foreign invaders win."

The dems would have a fight on their hands. I believe people who have never voted before in their lives would come out and prove to the world we're not dead yet. Like a second civil war, US citizens would join the fight. They just need to see someone out there fighting for them.

Yes, so much Trump can do to the Clowns in Cong. Trump will fly into their states to promote and endorse their opponents during the mid terms. Trump will knock heads and do much violence of action politically against his opponents. It won't be business as usual in DC. Most these guys will wilt.

You are incorrect. Vast Majority of illegals are performing low skilled work, and collecting welfare. Like I said, I know personally 100 such people. Extrapolate that over the entire country, and that would be tens of millions.

Would you support pressuring congress to do that?

Or will you just continue to screech that Trump can do nothing right and that no change is allowed?

Those are rhetorical questions by the way.

The 'cost of 'BENEFIT'S" to illegals 'far' surpasses any TAX'S used as an argument for them being here....so the costs of deporting them wouldn't touch what it's costing in benefits paid. It would pay for itself just by them leaving the welfare rolls.

TOUGH.. I pray we out number them or at least out vote them. If we don’t we are surely lost. We probably are already though.
