I'm glad Trump took decisive action and sent troops to the border to stop this invasion.

It's cute how you pretend that Trump did anything useful, as opposed to simply wasting millions of dollars on a political stunt for the sake of midterm elections.

Me too- class of '67, the summer of Love. As a group, early boomers are a lot less conservative than our elders.

I hate to be the one to tell you but you are barely a boomer and almost a gen xer;)

Disregard dumb ass post, I can't read.

It's all Fox is talking about per DJT's Tweets. What real news are we deflecting from this weekend?

The climate change report that multiple agencies signed off on that not only says climate change is a thing, it also said it will cost the US billions of dollars.

I believe the Mueller stuff is speculation right now.

Shooting from the hip here:

Immigration Reform:

Fold the border partol and coast guard into one department at the DOD so BP can get some of that sweet defense budget cheddar.

Staff up border patrol and ditch ridiculous fence/wall idea for a soft border with a higher catch rate.

Expand on the digital fence to shore up soft spots.

Build clean, new housing/detention facilities to process amnesty applicants as well as illegal crossing.

Faster/more fluid temporary work Visa program so economic migrants/transients have legal options.

At either a benchmark or after a period of time, open access to temp work Visa's/ Green Card to undocumented "grandfathered in". Path to citizenship for all free of single felony or multiple misdemeanor violations in 8/16 years.

I mean it's not great but I came up with that food coma'd out of my mind on Thanksgiving leftovers. Sure it has problems, but it's better than all or nothing/build a wall propositions I'm sure...

Don't some countries simply just shoot those who illegally cross their borders? Of course I am not saying that we should do this, far from it.

I think there's at least a nugget of a good idea in there.

It ultimately boils down to two things most people can agree on: implement meaningful security (i.e. no pointless physical border walls), and more importantly, be human about immigration. Provide more legal options; take good care of the people who come in; offer people who've been here a long time a chance to make things right, rather than giving them the boot purely out of spite.

We have a solution - BUILD A WALL.

You have a slogan that would become a moving goal post if ever attained. That you see it as a solution is laughable because a wall wouldn't be enough for your type. Chickenshits on the right are so scared of brown skin that any idiotic suggestion from a nutjob like Hair Furor would sound brilliant to scared little morans like yourself.

A bunch of scared little cowards all working each other into a frenzy, that's the Republican party and their base. They have nothing to offer America or the world except hate, division and discord.

Why do you guys keep going with this troll?

Sometimes you feel sorry for the retarded kid that lives on the corner..

You'll let him play with your puppy, but never let him mow your lawn, because you know he's not safe around power tools.

It's pretty much a no-brainer that Donny will claim he never said to do it, when the first soldier puts a bullet in the eye of a 6 year old.

And our in-house retard will back his play right down the line.

it's kind of fun watching him flail about trying to justify trumps actions and failing miserably.

I'm more of a watcher tho and rarely reply to his post.

Trump should close the US/Mexico border to all trade and traffic, shutdown the government on Dec 7, and institute martial law in CA/AZ/TX/NM.

Also raise tariffs on China to 100% duty on all goods.

Let's get this over with.

Why just 100% though?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the same administration who forced brown kids from their parents and held them in cages and tent cities is now tear gassing brown kids at the border.

I didn't think I'd ever say this, but I would advocate desertion for our troops at the border now--before they are forced into some live fire scenario against unarmed civilians. Ain't no shame in desertion rather than serving a two-bit fascist clown pretending at being Commander in chief. You'll face court martial and dishonorable discharge at the least, but in the long run you'll save your soul.

Well, there's the Ukraine incident that I'm sure Trump would very much like to see the US press ignore.

Says a lot about your passive-aggressive racism that you see a bunch of clearly harmless migrants as an "invasion."

Oh, the Democrats have good immigration and border policies. It's just a shame the Republicans and Trump are certain to shoot them down in favor of bigotry and fantasies about border walls that will never be built.

Just out of curiosity, what policies do the Dems have that the GOP would shoot down?
