Deporting 11 million is impossible and unrealistic, but stopping the crossing over at the border should be enforced.

Indeed. A few miles from where I live, it looks like El Salvador. And I don't mean just the people, I mean their car transmissions, un-kept yards, and 6 families to a house. It's fine to talk a good game on immigration, but how about enforcement?
 
Again I am happy that Trump is shaking the establishment trees and exposing the hypocrisies of both parties. Time to clean house and I think Trump if involved, has the ability to do so.

You're talking about the arrest, detention, and removal of over 11 million residents, plus (unconstitutionally) any children and family members they have on American soil. At a minimum, imagine arresting, detaining, and removing the entire state of Ohio. Now think about the additional regulations needed to implement this policy (I'm sure Office Pants can think of some delightful ones). Identity checks (e-verify is already an expensive pain in the ass), finding all the Anne Franks, rewards for narcing out illegals, etc.... And are you going to give due process to all these individuals?

If I'm the liberal in the thread, that's saying something.

Ha ha, so now I'm Mr Regulation.

One piece of world class idiocy is that if you are born on US soil, you're a US citizen. How about we get rid of that law?

Nobody is going to deport 11 million people. But how many more are going to keep flooding in while these monkeys getting elected do nothing?

It's a 2 pronged solution: start bullying 3rd world shitholes to clean up their acts so their countries are livable, and build a wall so people stop bringing their social problems here.
 
I recall when Mexican president blamed our immigration system for not letting Mexicans coming through and BO bent over and took it in the ass. What a weak pussy.

I redact this, as many have pointed out that current birthright citizenship is a misinterpration based on the fact that immagration was open at the time of ratification of the 14th Amendment. Anyway, the revelevant text reads
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside...

emphasis added, as that is the key. Illegals are not subject to our jurisdiction, they are citizens of foreign nations. That's why we are extraditing them. Children of illegal aliens born here are foreign nationals. Begone!

It's not that, they're all liars. He's not a commie, he's just positioned himself for what he thinks will win. It's like betting... you assess the angles and based on that you decide to stake out "X" group of beliefs.

The Youtube clips of his speeches remind me too much of the propaganda speeches I was forced to listen to during my childhood, simply scary. He is getting a lot of back from the Sierra club fans and new age hipsters.

9. Sanders honeymooned in the USSR. Sanders married his current wife, Jane, in May of 1988 and the next day left for their “romantic honeymoon” to Yaroslavl, in the then-Soviet Union. The trip was an official delegation from Burlington to cement the two cities’ sister-city relationship. “Trust me. It was a very strange honeymoon,” Sanders writes.
The 25 best things we learned from Bernie Sanders' book

The hilarious thing is that when you google this, there are several left-wing sites claiming this is a myth and scolding Fox News for reporting it. I guess Sanders was misquoted in his autobiography.

Funny story, but it sorta means less today. If this were 1983, it would be different.

Europe migrant crisis: Surge in numbers at EU borders - BBC News
Click to expand...

The UK is whining about all the migrants coming in, while in fact it's a small number compared to what Germany has to take. It's going to be roughly 800.000 migrants this year in Germany alone, with a lot being from the poorer South-Eastern European countries.
The EU fails to adapt to this situation for years now, and countries like Italy, Greece and Spain, which by EU regulation would be obliged to deal with them, just let them travel on. Once those refugees are inside the EU they can go to wherever they want.
Each migrant will cost Germany about 12500,- Euro per year, so that's 10 billion for the ones coming this year.
That's 800.000 people with inappropriate (at least for an industrialized nation) education and no chances to get off Germany's tits in the foreseeable future.
 
Webb is the only Dem refusing Super PAC money. He's the best candidate on that side. He has zero chance of selection at the current rate of growth in recognition and support.

"Anchor babies" is a very apt term. Enjoy trying to swim.
 
Carly Fiorina plans to run America via smartphone

Carly Fiorina Plans to Run America Via Smartphone

Soon we will all be Trumpists. Trumpets? Trumpettes? Trumpies?

Ahem. Anyway, at a town hall today a veteran told Carly Fiorina that he was having trouble getting a doctor’s appointment through Veterans Affairs:

“Listen to that story,” Fiorina said. “How long has [VA] been a problem? Decades. How long have politicians been talking about it? Decades.”

Fiorina said she would gather 10 or 12 veterans in a room, including the gentleman from the third row, and ask what they want. Fiorina would then vet this plan via telephone poll, asking Americans to “press one for yes on your smartphone, two for no.”

“You know how to solve these problems,” she said, “so I’m going to ask you.”

Until now, I had been willing cut Fiorina a little bit of slack over running HP into the ground. I figured other people shared some of the blame too.

Now I'm not so sure. Is this the razor-sharp leadership savvy she's been bragging about? Just ask a bunch of vets what they want? Press one for yes and two for no? That's how she's going to whip the VA into shape? Somebody just shoot me now.

POSTSCRIPT: Do you think that Fiorina (a) thought this up on the spur of the moment, or (b) gamed this out with her consultants and was just waiting for the right time to use it? And which is scarier?

Huffpo thinks the people coming across the Mexican border are blacks?
We detain the hell out of uncharged Arabs, so why not use the surplus illegal labor we have in beneficial labor camps? Nobody seems interested in FDR-style workfare, so somebody has to do it. And somebody is going to need board and room under the Trump presidency. Fair exchange. Free to leave and go to your own home in that other country, so not really slavery.

He's a nut, but I have always thought it funny that I'm working to support those that don't, so I am, in a sense, a slave. Except for the whole "voluntary" part, of course. Which is pretty much the requirement for slavery.

Exactly, we already have a massive white "indentured servant" sector, and they are guilty of no crime.

Guy was a maniac. His email dump verifies that (imagine a candidate who actually releases all his emails as governor instead of sticking them on a private server and then deleting them). He responded to almost everyone.

You can disagree with his policy decisions (I certainly do with his stances on abortion and taxation, among other things), but he's hardworking and intelligent in a way that his brother wasn't.
