    Poor Trump, no friends and caught in the middle. I'm sure he'd like to buy votes with another relief package, and that would be a good thing, but cunt McConnell already phony positioning as a conveniently born-again deficit hawk.

    And these previous posts reflect the risks of illegal immigration over allowing increased legal immigration.

    I have outlined my position on immigration reform several times in this forum - it includes four points:
    • Building a "wall" consisting of physical barriers, electronic surveillance and other measures to stop illegal immigration, child trafficking, drug trade, and weapons smuggling at our southern border.
    • Require all illegal immigrants currently in the U.S. to register over a 90 day period. Any that fail to register will be deported. Any with felony criminal records will be deported.
    • All illegal immigrants currently in the U.S. who pass the screening will be granted 6 year renewable work visas in the U.S.
    • Require employers to use e-Verify and significantly increase employer penalties for being non-compliant.
    Bottom Line: We need a rational solution to our existing illegal immigration problem. Simply deporting all the illegal immigrants is not a realistic policy and will cost huge sums of money. Most illegal immigrants are hard-working people who simply are here for economic opportunity and are not criminals. These immigrants are key workers in our economy taking many jobs in construction, agriculture, and other areas. We should bring them out into "daylight" economically so they can be a legitimate part of our workforce and pay taxes. There is also the reality that the U.S. needs a net increase in immigration due to our demographics.

    For new immigrants - we should adopt a skills based immigration policy moving forward (similar to Canada) -- keeping in mind that we need everyone from high skill IT workers to house framers to people to pick crops. There are jobs that need immigration to fill at every level of our workforce. We should not just be allowing PhDs to immigrate to the U.S. under any skills based program.

    Our current immigration is a mess. It needs reform at every level and a comprehensive immigration policy put into place.

    Let me also mention that it is absurd that you simply post snippets of my previous posts on this subject which are taken out of context. Some are portions of articles, some were humor, some were trying to make a broader point (e.g. walls are actually effective and numerous children are currently being trafficked ).

    Nate Silver: “Based on an update we’ll be releasing later today, we’re now projecting total turnout in the presidential race to be 154 million, with an 80th percentile range between 144 million and 165 million. In 2016, turnout was 137 million, by comparison.”

    With new registrations and those changing parties favoring Trump basically 2-1. That’s good news
