Now that the Democrats have lost all three branches of government, will they get a clue?

Obama's Executive Orders are what increased the number of illegals and the Congress could not stop him.

Bullshit. Congress most certainly could have stopped them but they did not have the balls to do it.

The Supreme Court could and did stop him a few times, but the veto power and lack of a super majority to override Obama left the Congress helpless in most cases.

The primary power given by the Constitution to Congress is the same "power of the purse" that Parliament had to defeat several English kings.

All the Republicans had to do was to press the issue and they failed.

Congress has been GOP for a couple of years, but has done nothing to stop the illegals, in fact, they never have stopped the illegals..The worst being during Boosh jr..

That is true. Let's hope Trump can change that.

Republicans were wise enough to know obama would veto any bill that did not grant amnesty. The deck is stacked differently now. Trump has two years to get his agenda passed.

And he will have to drag Paul Ryan kicking and screaming every step of the way.

Your man did not win a mandate to rule by congressional rubber stamp. He has walked over a lot of important people to get where he is. Going to be a price for that.

Uh...nope.

When they did press the issue they were hammered by Obama and the more than willing MSM of shutting the government down.
