  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It is number one on his list. He will get it thru tho despite opposition. Democrats need it for a talking point at the moment, but Trump will get it thru.

  1. Make E-Verify mandatory for all U.S. employers to eliminate the jobs magnet.
  2. Complete the Congressionally-mandated biometric entry/exit system to track non-immigrant visitors to the U.S.
  3. End the practice of birthright citizenship for illegal aliens and foreign visitors.
  4. Require state and local law enforcement to report affirmatively all non-citizens in custody to ICE, make ICE detainers mandatory, and require ICE to pick up and remove deportable aliens.
  5. Expand expedited removal to include all illegal aliens with criminal convictions.
  6. End catch-and-release of illegal aliens by requiring that they be detained until removal.
  7. Deny immigrant and nonimmigrant visas to nations that refuse to repatriate their citizens.
  8. Reform the judicial process in immigration courts, including restricting relief from removal, to expedite the process and reduce the backlog of cases.
  9. Restrict asylum to the internationally recognized definition of those who are unable to be returned to the home country due to a well-founded fear of (state) persecution due to race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
  10. Allow Border Patrol access to all federal lands.

Last I checked the Republican control all the branches of government so what exactly is the hold up?

From what I can find it's the farmers that oppose it. I can understand that. Can you imagine what will happen to the US agriculture industry if illegal immigrants cannot work?

We need to wait for midterms before we can get anything done.

It's an old list, and his attention span isn't what it used to be...
Once Trump is able to get all the dems to stop obstructing his every single move for a sound bite on the news, he will accomplish quite a bit.

Perhaps someone can do something about all the Democrats that have prevented the Leader from imposing his will on all his subjects and making us great. I am still waiting for my super better than Obamacare health plan.

Why?

By your own account, E-verify tops the list:

Make E-Verify mandatory for all U.S. employers to eliminate the jobs magnet.

...and yet, somehow Trump has apparently not even mentioned it any any of his rallies, tweeted on the topic or made any effort to push the GOP Congressional leadership.

If you follow along you would realise Democrats in congress will vote against any, and every thing/topic/issue Trump attempts to pass.

What happened to the last two years?

Realy? You don't know???? You act like Democrats in congress are eagerly looking forward to move bills Trump proposes thru the works without obstructing them.

Just get out of the way it would already be done.

How many times does it have to be pointed out that the republicans have been in control of both houses over the last two years before you stop using the democrats as an excuse?

Just get out of the way it would already be done.


OK. Point out exactly how they have obstructed this important work. What plans have Republicans put forward and how did the democrats stop it?

Because Democrats.

Soros.

Benghazi.

They are all equally good and really energize his base to overlook his gross incompetence.
