[QUOTE="Mayzoo, post: 77542341, member: 74689"] Where I lived 50 years ago, these same battle cries were regularly going on. And the Senate and Congress just keep getting re-elected. You would think if the masses were truly worried about immigration, we would have a greater turnover in Congress until we could get the legislative and executive branches to work together for legitimate fear of losing their jobs. As for Trump and immigration, this screaming point will be solved the same as his last several platform screaming points were solved (the wall, ACA); it won't happen. He had four years to get Mexico to pay for the wall as he promised, and it most likely would have flown through Congress as approved legislation if they did not have to pony up the money for it. He failed to get Mexico to pay for it as promised. This next round of immigration promises will fail just about as quickly IMO. But never fear, Trump is in the good company of all the Presidents of the last 50 years who have not solved the issue, and the people of the US, as a whole, simply don't care as manifested by the lack of turnover in Congress. BTW, illegal immigrants cannot vote in State and Federal elections: Presidential election = Federal election Senate and Congress = State elections. [ATTACH type="full"]341931[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
