60% of our illegal immigrants come from people remaining behind on their visas.

But most of them don't have brown skin.

Bambi, you asked what the Jewish people of Europe had done to cause the violence against them.

I told you then and tell you now, it is by their existence.

You then turned the discussion to the Muslims.

It's not about the Muslims. It is about the right wing, white supremacist, antisemites.

"Have done, if anything" I wrote.

It's about lots of things;

"It's about lots of things," you wrote, as if you did not bother reading the links you provided.

Oh I read them.
Seems to me it's time that Jews got their own nuke-armed-to-the-max state.
...kinda like a ghetto, their own ghetto, with only they allowed in....complete with walls/fences/armed troops, whatever it takes.
Down thru the ages massacring Jews seems to have been a popular past-time.

It shouldn't be one cent and the Democrats need to keep reminding people of that.

You're an idiot

Blatant failure to see a problem.

We see you, Kiid. We see you. No failure at all that isn’t yours.

So did the Unabomber.

Obviously the vast majority of Americans don't want Trump's wall...and instead want 'open borders' 'sanctuary cities', immigrants both legal and illegal from anywhere and everywhere pouring in, including from 'terrorism-central' countries...walking right in, no thorough background checks etc.

Only an addle-pated, weak brained drooling idiot of a fool would think that rejecting a proposed policy solution equates with a complete rejection of the underlying issue. For instance, I can support the idea that we should have immigration control without thinking we need the most extreme and impractical "solution" to the issue.

Not sorry, but you can't have immigration control without sealed borders.
What you're cheering for is just more of the same.

But most of them don't have brown skin.

And the other 40%?...walk in over the porous borders?

Only a total idiot would think you could seal the border.

Some. Some boat in. I imagine some fly in.

Figure out how much money it will take to put a wall across Canada, would you?

It'll be about 5,500 miles for Canada versus the 1,950 or so with Mexico.

Then do the shoreline, if you can figure out how long it is. 13,000ish miles by some counts. 95,000ish by others.

Knock yourself out.

[LarryBnDC]

Fuck the border wall. Construction gonna be held up until all the legal challenges are settled.

What legal challenges? How about the landowners on the proposed route?

This is all such bullshit.

Donald J. Trump accepting the endorsement of the NRA, May 2016.

“We are gonna win, win, win. We're going to win with military, we're going to win at the borders, we're going to win with trade, we're going to win at everything. And some of you are friends and you're going to call, and you're going to say, 'Mr. President, please, we can't take it anymore, we can't win anymore like this, Mr. President, you're driving us crazy, you're winning too much, please Mr. President, not so much, and I'm going to say I'm sorry, we're going to keep winning because we are going to make America great again."

SUCKAHS!

What's warming the world.

Mind you, whatever it is, the problems still need addressing, but why bother the clueless with reality?

Or as one congressman put it, "I'm not putting money into a solution. God promised that he would not let there be another flood."

For the second time in a month gasoline was selling here for $1.95 a gallon.

USA Today reports that almost one in five gas stations in the country are charging less than $2 a gallon. As many as eight states could soon have an average price of under $2, the paper said, citing data from GasBuddy.

The national average for gasoline last week was under $2.40, according to the Department of Energy. In the Midwest and the Gulf Coast, it's barely above $2.

Remember when the gone-and-forgotten President Obama insisted that $2-a-gallon gas was a thing of the past. "We can't just drill our way to lower gas prices," was his constant refrain.

Or earlier this year when Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer blamed " the reckless decision to pull out of the Iran deal caused "soaring gas prices, something we know disproportionately hurts middle- and lower-income people."?


Hmm. Try to find either one of them today acknowledging we HAVE drilled and fracked  our way to energy independence and middle -to -low -income people are reaping huge benefits.

Gas prices were at 2.14 on average for 2016.  So, prices are up about .25 a gallon under Trump.
