I said it wasn't logic. It's about values, not logic.

Undocumented people are of course welcome in my home. None are living here currently, just my immediate family, but I did have a housemate who was undocumented at one point.

PURE LOGIC - like a sandblaster it is.

States are not people. This would be a much bigger deal if states were more like individual countries - like in the early days of the US. Now the effect is basically that rural voters, and voters who happen to live in swing states, get much more influence over the presidential election than anyone else.

Why it's almost like if you are a minority, your concerns don't matter and who cares if you vote anyway.

They just hate democracy, that's all. It's really simple when you drill it down.

trufish over here is talking back and y'all are forgetting that none of these people have any ****ing idea what they are talking about, ever, because they literally reject the concept of learning.

Overstaying a visa is breaking the law. It is an unlawful act.

And the correct terminology is illegal alien, not illegal immigrant.

That's a good idea. Or perhaps also a gif with a checklist of each tactic without the description paragraph.

Hmm, let's see on the one hand we have:

- $20 billion on border wall
- $5-10 billion on arrests and detention
- $1 billion on processing (hearings etc)
- $100 million+ on physical deportation

Which, coupled with the Trump administration's fervent deportation pace would effectively remove all of the illegals from the USA by probably 2124.

Or on the other side, legalize the illegals and give them a path to citizenship:

- 19c in toner to rewrite immigration laws.

Yes very logical

Lol and here we go.

1. Deport all the criminals. Deal with the rest on a case by case basis
2. Anyone here illegally is defined as a criminal.
3. Good day sir!

In regards to Pence I don't think he is likely involved in the Russia stuff at all.

In terms of impeaching Trump and Pence taking over the chicken republicans know that impeachment guarantees they lose the whitehouse in 2020. So they won't do the right thing.

Maybe so I just always felt like he was an add-on that was something required but not desired. But being the only one person with any experience in every room probably does mean he knows about it all.

President Obama denies having anything to do with any hypothetical wiretap on Trump. If it happened, and we don't know that it did, it didn't have anything to do with Obama, because presidents don't rightly have a say in that kind of thing (although, significantly, Trump imagines that they do, which perhaps tells you the kind of thing that Trump may get up to). It just seems to be something that the under-informed Trump heard from Breitbart or directly from Steve Bannon.

Most likely reason is they are waiting and praying congress and others actually do their job and it can all come about officially.

People think this is some conspiracy by beuracrats but it clearly comes with a heavy heart and a lifetime of government service which has them giving the first, second and third chance to the whitehouse and congress. This is their government and they are likely in more disbelief than any of us. But it would certainly not be easy to do.

Somebody is going to cut a deal soon. These privileged rich white men are terrified right now and they don't want to end up in an actual prison cell. Somebody is gonna sing like a bird.
