It benefits Dems to allow illegal immigrants in because their babies will grow up to be Dem voters. Part of their 20 year plan no doubt.
One of my favorite Republican arguments.
On this stupid issue, Trump boxed himself in with his racist rhetoric and stupid "wall" and "Mexico will pay for it" talk. If the Dems were not so dug in caring about the 5B number and Trump was not so dim-witted as to care about the "wall," we might be able to get something meaningful done at the border. "Might" as in "maybe" since I'm unconvinced that we can stop the flow. But it's fine to try. It would be great if either side would act adult and work to a solution, since the budget is otherwise agreed to except for 5 freaking billion dollars.
And though I'm all for caring about wasting 5B, there's a lot more waste in the budget that I wish people were paying attention to.
