    You think people are traveling thousands of miles for an EBT card?

    Like I said this is your only thought that illegals present, very short sided but you do you. Why aren’t the dens passing a new immigration law letting 3 million workers in a year?

    because they don't have 60+ votes in the senate. Republicans would rather them remain illegal, so they don't have to treat them IAW our labor laws, or pay payroll tax.

    Was Trump responsible when it happened under his watch in 2017?

    So, now Abbott sinks to the level of personal attacks that would even be prohibited on PF. So, for the Uvalde school shooting it is now fair game to say that the deaths are on Abbott?

    That were the shining city on a hill? That we take the poor and huddled masses yearning to be free?

    I'm not seeing a personal attack, just a statement of facts

    No. That we are a shiny sanctuary handing out free healthcare to those willing to put their lives in the hands of cartels.

    Take the nuclear option only need a majority. Sounds like an excuse to me. Under Obama you guys had a super majority why didn't they do it then? In my opinion its because they understand no one is buying their BS about the low paying jobs excuse. how many of those are there? How many years at allowing 3m a year in would all those jobs be filled? What happens then? The numbers don't lie and they don't work in any economic model of success for America. Every decent country controls its borders but the American left overlooks the reasons why, soley for political gain.

    I'm not a fan of changing structural rules.

    I am also against increasing the size of the supreme court. We need to be doing things that make our system more stable, not undermining its stability.

    US citizens are a bigger drain on the economy than first generation immigrants. If we want the country to do better, then we need to triple the amount of legal immigration.

    Reagan was also in Bedtime for Bonzo. Did that make it a good movie?

    About as many as Pelosi, the Clintons and the Obama's do to mow their lawns and clean their homes=) And outsourcing isn't illegal. Its sadly, the only option for many services. Is there any business in the U.S. that can produce millions of hats quickly? The textile business is dead here. And who signed NAFTA which put the final nail in the coffin...Mr. Democrat himself...good ol' Bill Clinton. But you probably thought Trump killed that industry, because he is a super human that has destroyed everything before and even after he had any power. He's causing all this inflation today right?

    Abbott is an idiot. He will say anything he thinks will hurt the Democrats regardless of truth or accuracy.

    The only reason first generation illegals would be less of a drain is because they aren't citizens and don't qualify for the benefits other poor citizens have. The left had a super majority just a few short years ago and they did nothing, there's a reason why they didn't, they can't support the numbers. I would love for anyone to do a study of tripling the economic impact. That being said there's 40 million immigrants here now, tripling that would be 120m. or 1/3rd of the country's population and there is zero way America can take a 80m increase without killing all social programs.

    Immigrants raise better kids. 2nd generation immigrants are better than us too.

    Ronald Reagan understood this.

    If we care about the country, we need a constant stream of immigrants who are welcomed. Immigration should be a greater source of our population than the birth rate.

    Crazy how the extreme right is more outraged by dead illegal immigrants and fetuses than they are American children.

    Such patriots!

    Immigrants is not the same as illegal immigrants. Again if you want to add 120m people you might as well name this country mexico. Why do you think every established country disagrees with you on this?
