It was a decent plan, and some people on both sides of the aisle are idiot children who simply want everything their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just so used to Congress voting down party lines as 14 against from the same party is a lot. I'd like to hear the specifics on the Democrats side about what was so extreme in Trump's proposal that they couldn't get the 23 (or 24 depending if McCain's status) votes necessary to get to 60 to push it on through to the Senate.

Nanker Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I think it's the chain migration and lottery that the Dems won't budge on. Trump insists on getting the security done with DACA, as well as ending the insane practices that were instituted to allow random, unvetted immigrants to come live here. I can't see how anyone could be against the latter two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm afraid you're right about that sentiment of theirs... and ours. It does swing both ways, true. But I like to side with those who favor The Constitution over fiat rulers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, dang, that's damning. All three of them so completely contradicted themselves, so absolutely; and within a maximum of 8 years' time. I know my opinions on matters can 'evolve' (LOL) over time. But unless something substantial changes, some information comes to light that proves my prior understanding of issues so false, could I fathom a 180` change of these magnitudes. This video damns Chuckie, SHillary, and Obamer, defines the modern-day leftist-politician, and it is disgusting to the core. I beg the resident leftists to defend this one.

ALF Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Melania Trump's parents' immigration status could be thanks to 'chain migration' The Slovenian parents of first lady Melania Trump are legal permanent residents of the United States, according to the lawyer representing them in the process -- raising questions about whether they are living in the US by the very means President Donald Trump has strongly criticized and sought to end. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/21/politics/melania-trumps-parents-immigration-status/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
