Obama the White Supremacist
What's laughable if not funny is that Obama was willing to tackle immigration in a way short of Trump's absolute cut off but Republicans just sat on any proposals just like they are doing today. The house has passed some 50 bills that are sitting in the Senate because McConnell wont address them. So stuff a sock in it, weather. Republican playbook is to create a situation, then complain about it while stupid people swallow the scam whole and the immigration bottleneck is a major example. Problem is that the whole world is watching the vast difference between what we say and what we do in this issue, and I think most of our friends have simply unplugged the trust-o-meter as non-working these days.
Which bills did the House pass that will help resolve the immigration crisis? Please tell us so we too may push the Senate to act.
I'm no Trump or McConnell fan, but in fairness Trump did not cause the spike in amnesty applications. The "wall" wouldn't have done anything to curtail them, but that's sort of a different issue. Trump promised to deport people who had lived here illegally for a long time, but hadn't committed violent or drug crimes while here. That was the policy change post-Obama. But when Trump tried that, he caused the court system to basically collapse, because the courts couldn't do that and handle the new cases too. I'm not going to criticize him for correctly realizing that he somehow has to stem the new cases to get to the older ones.
The 2010 Democratic comprehensive immigration bill that started out with an ID card would have ended this GOP scam forever. But of course that would be communism.
Yeah but didn't that sort of amnesty in a bunch of people? If we do that, what's to dissuade people from coming here illegally, even if they cannot initially work, and just live with someone until they have a child. The scotus has been pretty clear that birthright citizenship is in the 14th amendment, but we can deport non-citizens. That would see a deterrent to me.
Right, like Trump doesn't propose alterations, and your racist bullshit make you suck
Trump wants more legal immigrants. Most Republicans do. Democrats aren't as enthusiastic because legal immigrants aren't as anti-American as illegals.
2010? That’d be a Republican Congress, Sherlock.
As I said the GOP has blocked everything for 50 years really. Except Obamacare when the Democrats finally had 60 votes to beat the GOP garbage filibuster law. on the other hand the garbage GOP reconciliation law means that the GOP only need 51 votes to cut taxes on the rich and opportunity and services for everyone else. What a GOP scam. And why democrats should use the nuclear option forever now. People will be able to see what each party actually wants...
