The numbers do not support this hyperbolic response by the republicans. There is nothing going on that has not been worse in the past when republicans didn't really give a shit. This "crisis" is a fiction, the only issue where Trump still has any political capital. He will lose on this one as well.The shutdown is a very recent example but you'll probably not care about how badly our system treats those wanting to be here both legal and illegal. I do not like our government being needlessly harsh because of the old adage: If they will do it to "them" they will do it to you.That's a matter of opinion but we have already seen clear examples of what it does to our country when the fearmongers try to get all heartlessly militaristic on the problem. Trump is now spending the last of his political capital trying to appease the xenophobes.Mr. Obama had a pretty decent balance of carrot and stick that kind of half-assed worked without overly demonizing decent people while keeping a high level of deportation of undesirables. It would be nice if we could get the whole system overhauled but republicans want no part of that. Yhey cannot even discuss t without being dicks about it.
When we have a population of illegals numbering in the millions, it is not a good balance, it is a fucking disaster.
What exactly do you think we have "seen" as a "clear example" of "what it dos to our country"?
Oh and calling what you don't like a phobia, is not a supporting argument. It is bullshit.
Phobia is defined as an unreasonable fear of relatively harmless things, it fits.
.1. The Shutdown? Trump is trying to enforce the law and secure the border. That you blame HIM for the clash with those that are AGAINST that, shows your bias.
2. Our nation is overwhelmed with immigrants to the point that we are being forced to endure transformational change against our will. That our treatment of those doing this to US is only "HARSH" is a testimony to our very gentle natures.
YOu and yours are the ones tearing this nation apart by attacking your fellow Americans by falsely maligning their just positions and interests.
