Those illegals consume a lot of "education, health, and social safety net $$$" vs what they contribute through labor and taxes. Less illegals and their anchor babies, more for legitimate citizens.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Well, we are running on Chinese lending us and printing more dollars.So my pay day loan is an accurate analogy.
The Trump plan is to look good, feel good, eat burgers 4 years. He does not give a shit about 20 years from now. He will be dead.

Re: Republicans
Many Americans believe that undocumented immigrants are exploiting the United States economy. The widespread belief is that "illegal aliens" cost more in government services than they contribute to the economy. This belief is demonstrably false. "[E]very empirical study of illegals' economic impact demonstrates the opposite. . . : undocumenteds actually contribute more to public coffers in taxes than they cost in social services." Moreover, undocumented immigrants contribute to the U.S. economy by investing and consuming goods and services; filling millions of "essential worker" positions resulting in subsidiary job creation, increased productivity and lower costs of goods and services; and making unrequited contributions to Social Security, Medicare and unemployment insurance programs.

Re: Republicans
Republicans redefine morality as whatever Trump does
Even Republican evangelical leaders are on board.A Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday found that two-thirds of Americans say Trump is not a good role model for children. Every component of society feels that way — men and women, old and young, black and white, highly educated or not — except for one: Republicans. By 72 to 22 percent, they say Trump is a good role model.
In marked contrast to the rest of the country, Republicans also say that Trump shares their values (82 percent) and that — get this — he “provides the United States with moral leadership” (80 percent).
Obviously, the only answer to this hypocrisy is ridicule.The triumph of partisanship over morality starts at the top. Franklin Graham excused Trump’s alleged sexual encounter, and Tony Perkins, the president of the conservative Family Research Council, declared that Trump gets a “mulligan” — a do-over — for his behavior.
MSNBC commentator Rick Wilson couldn’t help but make fun of the evangelical community for giving President Donald Trump a pass on his alleged extramarital affairs and moral quandaries.
During “Real Time Overtime,” Wilson told host Bill Maher that he was quoting “The Book of Poontang” to back up his claims.
“And it says, thou shalt allow The Donald to f*ck porn stars and let him get away with it,” Wilson joked.
He explained that the decision to give Trump a so-called “mulligan” on morality is nothing more than a Mt. Everest-size mountain of bullsh*t” and that the evangelicals are “on the peek of that mountain.”

#40dollars, though, in 2011, that was great. As Barack Obama said, "That #40dollars helps pay the rent, groceries..." https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/956669793221869568
Now that Trump is President, that $40 is a crumb, a pittance, an insult.
Debbie Wasserman Shultz -- https://twitter.com/DWStweets/status/14 ... aycheck%2F - she wants us to tweet what $40 means to us. She did in 2011 - hey, Tero - why don't you answer her tweet by criticizing that $40 payroll loan as bad policy. I know it's late - but maybe you missed it at the time. You could inform her that in the future, the Democrat policy should be to make sure not to provide such false, crumby benefits to the working poor....
Nancy Pelosi -- https://twitter.com/NancyPelosi/status/ ... aycheck%2F
Yes, indeed, that $40 in each paycheck will make a difference!
Not today, though. $1000 won't make a difference. None of what Trump's tax cut for all did will make a difference. Before, it made a huge difference. Now, of course not. Trump tax cuts are crumbs. Democrat tax cuts make a huge difference, and help people pay for groceries, rent and gasoline.
Trump tax cut and bonuses are crumbs and a big nothing, but women having to pay $9 a month for birth control pills is a national crisis, according to Democrats. http://www.weeklystandard.com/dc-target ... cle/632955
You want to know how Trump might get reelected....?

Re: Republicans
There is hope. So basically, America might return to sanity once everyone who lived during the Cold War is dead.
Nearly two-thirds of millennials (63 percent) think things in this country are off on the wrong track. Only 18 percent think the country is generally headed in the right direction, and another 18 percent aren't sure.
Sixty-three percent of millennials also disapprove of the way President Donald Trump is handling his job, with nearly half (46 percent) saying they strongly disapprove. Only two in 10 (19 percent) approve of Trump.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politi ... ot-n841526Millennials also hold an unfavorable view of the Republican Party (62 percent). Only a quarter (24 percent) have a favorable view of the GOP.

Re: Republicans
Despite clear warnings from the Department of Justice that releasing the memo composed by staffers for Representative Nunes could compromise national security and ongoing investigations (posted previously by yours truly but lost in the forum reboot), House Republicans in the Intelligence Committee have voted to release it anyway. The Assistant Attorney General who warned the House Republicans is a Republican himself, a former aide to Jeff Sessions. The Republicans in the Intelligence Committee also voted to keep the counter memo from the Democratic side secret, citing 'damage [to] sensitive intelligence sources and methods.'
'House Intel votes to make Nunes memo public'
'House Intel votes to make Nunes memo public'
The House Intelligence Committee on Monday evening voted to make public a GOP-crafted memo alleging what some Republicans say are “shocking” surveillance abuses at the Department of Justice (DOJ).
At the same time, the committee voted against making public a Democrat-drafted counter-memo.
While the panel voted to release that memo to the entire House, Republicans expressed concern that publicly releasing the minority memo would damage sensitive intelligence sources and methods, according to Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the committee’s ranking member.
Both votes — to release the GOP memo and withhold the Democratic one — were along party lines.
The move ends weeks of speculation over whether the memo, which was drafted by staff for Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), would be made public. But it intensifies the dispute over what Democrats say is an all-out assault by Republicans to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Stone-faced committee Democrats appeared in a phalanx after the vote, decrying what Schiff described as the crossing of “a deeply regrettable line in this committee, where for the first time in the ten years I’ve been on the committee, there was a vote to politicize the declassification process of intelligence.”
