For the past 20 years comprehensive immigration bills have been proposed in congress. The Republicans talk about passing a bill but always reject it when it comes to a vote.

An underlying majority thought nothing could be done, and to even bring up the topic invited accusations of Racist. Republicans used illegal immigrants to drive down the wage base and break unions; Democrats assumed they’d eventually become democrats…

The problem festered, for decades, until a bold unfiltered political rookie clung to it like none had, and it became the main reason he acquired the presidency (though a whole lotta folks couldn’t admit having voted for him for that reason).

So finally, something’s being done, something serious ..not just bandaid deportations to alleviate criticism (like Obama), but the get-tuff measures necessary to turn things around … especially if this is a one term presidency.

This is a major problem and concern around the world, and ‘ours’ are not refugees of war, they remain a constant flow of economic opportunists taking advantage of the goodness and stupidity of the USA. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, when forced child labor and/ or human ovens are built - let us know.

Totally ashamed of the Herr Trump administration.
