    These aren't exactly what I would call answers.

    I truly like you Golem, without people like you I would have nothing to fight against.

    I disagree with your views but I admire the fact you are passionate about them and that's what's most important for our nation.

    People that believe in something.

    Hats off to you sir!

    It was his promise to the American people. He should not be using my money for an ineffective wall.

    Because congress can't deport DACA people. And everyone knows it.

    Sadly this is BS. The Mueleer probe exists t this point almost entirely to prevent the lefts allies in the DOJ from being fired.

    Problem is that after many years, Republicans got too used to calling anybody who was not a blind ideologue a RINO. And there is nothing worse than being a blind ideologue.

    Sure. It will be as effective as his decrease in spending and reduction of the deficit.

    But everyone under DACA is longer and still here. It's no more, because they are permanent citizens, just not legalized.

    The DACAs (AKA Dreamers) have no clear status.
    And no clear path to one either. That's part of the problem.
    You guys should come vote on what you think their status ought to be.

    I'd vote on deportation reform because there are far too many loopholes for them to slip through the cracks and remain.

    Wait and see. Unless R's do something to legalize them. But they are not leaving the country.

    Yes, options for that are included as well, as are many others.
    The vote is intended to be comprehensive, covering all,
    or at least most areas involving immigration.

    No view on the Dreamers??
    Note that Dreamers (AKA DACA recipients) are distinct from children who are simply brought here by their parents,
    as for one to qualify as a Dreamer they would also have had to already lived in the country for several years.
    Know what I mean?

    For children brought here, I give a pass. Unless they go back with their parents. But if they've been here and become adult here, they are citizens, in my mind. This is now their life.

    Today, it isn't ideology, but support for Trump. Not 100% behind Trump, you're a RINO.

    Mueller is a Republican, appointed by Republicans and kept in place by Republicans. "Lefts" have no say on the matter.

    He is a drone, a self seeking, self serving drone. Party affiliation is essentially meaningless when discussing such as mueller

    Inquiring minds want to know.

    The Republicans do not know how to govern because they do not come to govern...they come to steal.
