A Perspective On Immigration

Otherwise, the minority party just doesn't want to give away the win.  This is the current state of politics.  The Dems OWN immigration - I'll be damned if they let Repubs solve it.

On a related note.....we had a deal like 6-8 years ago, and Repubs said Obama blew it by going back on his word.  And it was the Repubs fault.   But now we have a "Repub" POTUS being blamed for Dems not coming to the table.  I thought that was interesting.

Pretty much agree. 

'You don't want an open border policy? RACIST!' 
'You want to beef up security on the southern border? RACIST!' 

That said those with Daca should be allowed to stay and given a path to citizenship. Sanctuary cities protecting the 'bad illegals' from deportation are doing no one, even illegals, any good. Believing in an open border with Mexico and the rest of central and south America is mind-boggling to say the least.
