It's very easy for white suburban liberals to be "tolerant" when illegal immigration from down south means that their neighborhoods will remain mostly white, that they'll have cheaper prices on their organic Halloween pumpkins and non-GMO multivitamins, and no chance that illegals will be competing for their jobs.

Re: Migrant Caravan
Trump just had a spirited public debate with Chuckie and Nancy about the border wall. Trump was saying that he will shut down the government if there is no wall funding. Chuckie said that he is proposing the same thing as last time and it was accepted the last time so it should be accepted this time. Nancy begged to continue the discussion in private.

Yeah AZ I know Fox News doesn't cover this - so how could you know..
Please don't post an opinion piece as a counter - please use legitimate research
According to: The Senate's Official Scorekeeper and nonpartisan Joint Committee
The Republican Tax Plan will Add $1 Trillion to the Deficit
The Senate Republicans $1.5 trillion tax cut would not pay for itself but instead increase the deficit
according to a report released by the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation...

Re: Migrant Caravan
Today was the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency. That was an embarrassing performance, even for him. The West Wing is headless right now. Trump thinks he can keep his bedrock support by sheer force of will. But his Republican support is eroding, little by little. A government shutdown at his whim will make it a gusher. Giuliani will be out as his lawyer within 60 days, and then all bets are off.CAA Flagship wrote:Trump just had a spirited public debate with Chuckie and Nancy about the border wall.
