    The Dems inherently have two opposed bases on immigration.

    White working class which obviously favors restrictive immigration policies.

    Immigrants and minorities (and neolibs) that favor more open immigration policies.

    It never ceases to amaze me that they can continue to talk out of both sides of their mouths for decades and not be taken to task for it.

    I really am hoping that Trump can manage to break the current intransigence of the system.

    The Rats have pretty much written off the White working class vote.

    I don’t know how they expect to keep the coalition of victims together. Blacks don’t like illegal immigration. Hispanics don’t like abortion in the 3rd trimester. Gays don’t like Muslims that want them stoned to death. Muslims hate gays. Rich tech liberals don’t want to pay 70% top rate.

    The repubs and Dems along with any deep state folks are going to fight like hell to stop Trump doing anything about immigration.


    The militia groups will be increasing, more illegal immigration will happen, and our fucking sanctuary cities will continue, the press will continue as is. The future is not looking good.

    Boy is it going to be ugly for the next 6-10 presidents and elections. I will be dead so won't care. Maybe I will just curl up on a sidewalk in Seattle when I go so no one will have to clean up after me.

    Make sure to sleep with the light on tonight and with the pillow over your head. The scary illegal immigrant who’s about to steal your job won’t hurt you.

    “The economic benefits to Americans of America’s present immigration policies are very small. Almost all of those benefits are captured by the most affluent Americans.”

    That works for me.

    I do my own lawn and what not, but Mrs Yella insists on a house cleaner bi-weekly so we’re only capturing some benefit.

    I do literally nothing. Mrs Damone does the wash. That about it. Mexicans (or people from Mexican countries) does the outside. Russians and Americans take care of the inside.

    Hard to spend all day at the bar with a bunch of chores hanging over my head.
    Wait so you’re the do nothing owner? The guy waiving on the side of the Southwest Plumbing Truck? God, I hate you and your highway robbery prices.
