His thoughts on same-sex marriage he claimed were evolving.
Sorry. He always supported it. He just wanted to announce it in an election year.
The same goes with this announcement on immigration.
He's done nothing to improve the situation. Local law enforcement has been fighting him on it for years.
I figure if you're gonna have borders ether enforce them or remove them and let anyone in who wants to come in........and then suffer the consequences.
Btw, who runs the Open Society Institute?
OH MY GOD, GEORGE SOROS IS HIDING UNDER YOUR BED.
Just as crazy as left wingers who think there's a Koch brother in his closet.
Let's get real here.
Everyone knew for years that this was a problem. That we had lots of young kids who were brought here as children, played by all the rules, stayed in school, and then found out one day that because of a decision their parents made, they were caught in a legal limbo that everyone agreed needed to be fixed. They were brought up as Americans, spoke ENglish and have known no other home, but now find themselves in a bad situation through no fault of their own.
Even sensible Republicans like George W. Bush and John McCain realized this needed to be fixed.
(Ah, sensible Republicans. remember when we had those? I do.)
Because the GOP is in thrall of extremists, even moderate bills to remedy this situation found themselves dying in Congress, so the President did something about it.
Good on him.
Do I think there was political calcluation? Yup. Or maybe he realizes now that no matter how reasonable or accommedating he's going to try to be, the GOP is not going to work with him as long as the inmates are in charge of the asylum.
