It would be so easy to fix our weak and very stupid Democrat inspired immigration laws. In less than one hour, and then a vote, the problem would be solved. But the Dems don’t care about the crime, they don’t want any victory for Trump and the Republicans, even if good for USA!

There's a procedural matter I'm not clear on. Can the Senate majority just change the cloture rule, thus blocking Democrats' ability to block a simple majority? I think it can, but doesn't for various reasons.

If immigration is illegalized, only illegal immigrants will come.

ETA: Maybe GOP senators don't have the votes to block the Senate's own cloture rules. In which case the problem is Republicans, not Democrats.

ETA2: NEVER MIND! I just remembered Dems control the House ...

Mexico must use its very strong immigration laws to stop the many thousands of people trying to get into the USA. Our detention areas are maxed out & we will take no more illegals. Next step is to close the Border! This will also help us with stopping the Drug flow from Mexico!

I gotta think that even Trump voters realize that immigration laws don't stop people from leaving.

Do you? Really?

I think Trump genuinely believes that Mexico could stop these folk if they wanted to. I can't imagine what sort of law would allow them to stop caravans that have legally (right?) entered Mexico from leaving to the north.

I'm not sure what makes Mexico's immigration laws so "strong". These caravans start south of their border and somehow cross into the country. Not all of them who get to the US border make it into the US. Doesn't that make our laws and enforcement "stronger"?

The Nuclear Option. Both sides a terrified of exercising it, because it'll eventually be used against them. Except for judges, for some reason.

The Democrats are allowing a ridiculous asylum system and major loopholes to remain as a mainstay of our immigration system. Mexico is likewise doing NOTHING, a very bad combination for our Country. Homeland Security is being sooo very nice, but not for long!

So you in fact did not notice that Trump very often tries to divert attention from his failings or errors or lies or mistakes or potential crimes by pointing to something shiny for the media to obsess about?

You must be new. :rolleyes:
