2. I would hope we get real tough immigration policy. I want a point system and I want limits by country. Only being allowed to bring immediate family including parents. A wall would be great but that's not most important in my estimation.
Purely market based retirement funds aren't the silver bullet. It has shown to have its problems, just as government programs have. This is why a mix is needed.

The only reason they are working together with the Democrats now is because they know it's a good program. They just didn't want to give Obama any credit for it.
I do not disagree at all with this. That being said, it is a legitimate stance that it was a bold move to be taken by EO. It may have been legal, may not have been, but for a program like that to have longevity and to be done without as many questions regarding its legality, legislation is needed.
