Illegal border crossings from Mexico down 40%

[toomuchtime_]

There is no bluff. If they do get in here one way of another, they now believe they will be sent right back. In a short time, the pressure will be on for states to use E-verify before allowing people to find work or receive health, education or welfare benefits, and life in the US will be much less desirable for illegals.

The problem here is that sometimes policies have an initial impact and then it wears off. In economics Republican presidents seem to have this ability to make the economy burst for a few years, and then it drops off. Why? Because the policy isn't actually as good as people think it is.

You are confusing actual policy changes with mere words. There are several parts to President Trump's illegal immigrant policy that will make it more difficult for illegals to get in here, to avoid being deported if they are here and much more difficult for them to get work or receive health, education or welfare benefits while they are here. Illegals recognize this and are responding by not trying to get here in such great numbers. You should really try to become more issue oriented rather than so partisan in your thinking.

I'm not being partisan in thinking. Trump has been in office less than 2 months, the impact of his policies and what he has said remains to be seen. Coming and saying "hey, Trump is great because of something that has hardly started" is partisan thinking.

Apparently, the people who have decided not to try to enter the US illegally understand the policies he has announced better than you do.

Or maybe the people who decided not to try and enter the US illegally have entered the US illegally, and just didn't get caught, or decided to stay for other reasons, or will try again in a while once the whole thing has blown over.

Possibilities. Never jump onto a ship that might sink, jump onto the ship when you know it won't sink.

It is sad but not surprising that after watching Obama issuing political gestures instead of real policy directives you think the government cannot achieve anything of substance, but these changes that are discouraging the illegals from coming here are real changes that will continue to make the trip less attractive to them. President Trump is turning the US into a nation of laws again after eight long years of being a nation of politically motivated whimsical gestures.

So you have a magic ball that can see into the future then? You might be right, and you might be wrong.

The problem is Trump isn't turning the nation into a country of laws, if anything he'll be more contradictory. Let's see what happens with the illegal Irish then, let's see if he tells the Irish PM that the law is the law, or let's see if he rolls over like he did with the British about the travel ban.

Obama failed at every level. That idiot spent the past 8yrs doing everything he could to fuck Americans over.

I don't think I've ever despised anyone as much as I despise him.
