Reads like a dream, doesn't it. You are all thinking,,,,,we could have built the wall for $2B, and have $18 left over to take care of our homeless. Do you realize that you are a part of this madness?

@averagejoe1 saidYou probably think immigration policy comes from the executive branch?

@wildgrass saidWhat if I do or don’t? Please start a thread on that issue.

Meanwhile, see if your communist mind can respond to our country spending the $20B on aliens, which clearly is not provided for in our constitution. Ask SuzyQ, she will confirm that. It is the issue of this thread.
Do we have a duty to these people. I love that line this morning, on the trespassers at the airport……’they have no where to go,,”
They never did, the moment they left their communities. I just don’t get it. If they don’t pay for medical care, which law says we have to give them, my doctor says he will have to raise his fees.
Query….why ask where immigration policy comes from? Who cares?
@wildgrass saidThe way this administration handles it, it does.

The federal agency responsible for busing, sheltering and supporting the largely unauthorized immigrant population
I wonder how much of that came from Texas busing them across the country

@averagejoe1 saidThe wall would cost over 20 billion. Where are you getting 2 billion from?

@athousandyoung saidWhen Trump was in office, the batted around and $8 Billion figure. But who knows.

@earl-of-trumps saidActually, every economic analysis shows that immigration is a huge economic gain for a country esp. one like the US with an aging population, low unemployment and a large number of job openings.
The real problem here is, the $20 billion is *to this point in time*.
These exact same people will cost us every year, big bucks.
And then, as another issue, the spigot is still open.
At worst, such paltry funding is a small social investment which will be paid back many times over in the future.

@earl-of-trumps saidTrump pulled 15 million out of the Defense budget for the wall and it's still not built.

@AverageJoe1
Who cares? You bring it up so you can castigate Joe Biden. That's what it will boil down to. Right now Biden proposed a bill to try to fix border issues but repubs refused to vote on it BECAUSE Biden proposed it and since Trump OWNS the repubs right now, he is the one who said no and his acolytes just fall over and play dead and that is why nothing is being done, so why don't YOU get off your ass and bitch at YOUR senators and congressmen?

Really?
All the jawing you've been doing lately about this, and you really don't care where immigration policy comes from? How do you possibly expect anyone to take anything you say seriously?

@athousandyoung saidWhose pocket did that go into?
Trump pulled 15 million out of the Defense budget for the wall and it's still not built.
@athousandyoung saidYeah, and wildgrass 'wonders' who created immigration policy, and wants ot know if i wonder, I guess?? GeezThe federal agency responsible for busing, sheltering and supporting the largely unauthorized immigrant population
I wonder how much of that came from Texas busing them across the country
I wonder how y'all are trying to make illegal immigration legal. Hey, Wildgrass, I wonder how y'all are trying to make illegal immigration legal.
@no1marauder saidDid This feller just predict the future? He is right up there with Suzianne, we should run them for president.

Very casual you to insert 'job openings', you htought I would not see it. Corporations are laying off people, Maruader, see my link!!
So, those workers will ve looking for jobs, and you are saying that they will have to get in line behind people who break the law, approved by our government, and fight them for another job.
You are beyond a pollyanna. You are comfortable though, with these prospects, because everyone will be forced into socialism. All according to plan. You will be the Socialist, looking down on and feeding all the people living under socialism, with a horde of illegal people who do not speak our language, maybe their kids mixing it up and marrying in with our kids.
No one will believe your prediction. Like Mott said yestereday, are we growing more than we used to? Picking has been fine for 100 years.
