    I'll tell you whatever I want.

    These people are stepping over starving US citizens to help illegal aliens.

    I don't care if we deport every single one of them.

    I don't want European or Asian illegals here either. However, at least the European and Asian illegals aren't in the street blocking traffic, grabbing their crotch, and burning our flag.

    Good.

    Let US citizens choose between US citizens and illegal aliens.

    He should start deporting DACA applicants until they come to the table is what he should do.

    We get it, You're among the 20% of the nation that is against DACA. There are similar bigots in the White House who have Trump's ear.

    And they and you are wiling to risk our economy in order to screw with these kids

    LoL our "economy".

    I think our economy could deal with an extra $100 billion a year that we waste on illegal aliens.

    Ohmergerd our economy would suffer so badly if we didn't have people with zero skills, 15 kids, and a 3rd grade education flooding into the country.

    What would we do without all the bus hijackings, people stabbing people in the neck, people shooting women on piers, all the heroin we would miss...

    it would be ARMAGEDDON

    The DP does not really care about the DACAs - they are just pawns to be sacrificed to political expediency.

    Being in the military we are already seeing the effects of this government shutdown. What we have on hand is what we have, ammo, fuel, etc. So the weapons ranges have been shutdown as of right now and logistics as far as vehicle operations have been suspended due to the fuel issues. We also rely heavily on civilian contractors to run a lot of things who will not be at work tomorrow if the government doesn't reopen so whatever programs they are in charge of running will not be operational.

    I still get paid until Feb 1 so I won't be too irritated until after that day. I'll start to get upset if this isn't resolved by the middle of February and I don't get paid.

    Of course not, thats why he's trying to spend money on Americans instead of Mexicans.

    I wonder, will Democrats start supporting US citizens over Mexicans?

    Would you like to review the America First plan and our current economic record breaking?

    A government shutdown will have zero impact on me other than to make me happy knowing the people will realize how little they need government.

    Well if you have a booming economy then why do you have all those ‘starving Americans’?
    Unless old man Bernie was right i.e. it all goes to the top 1%

    Oh you mean the Bernie that is the 1%? The Bernie who got a nice lake house out of nowhere? The Bernie who's wife bankrupted a college and is under investigation for it? That Bernie?

    Do you mean the poor that thanks to Democrat policies of welfare and incentives not to work has exploded the poor? The same party who wants to bring more elementary school educated poor people across our border to live in poverty here?

    The answer to poverty is jobs and training, not handouts.

    Oh now I understand where you’re coming from, sleeping enwrapped in the ‘American Dream’ waiting for the crumbs that never drop from those dining at the high table. No government just pull yourself up by you’re own boot straps, Freedom and Liberty.

    I think I can help you there. On the high Savannah on the plains of Chad and the Cameroons there is no government, no laws, complete Freedom and Liberty. One small problem, everyone else has complete Freedom and Liberty too. Hmm, on reflection I don’t think that you would enjoy it much and maybe run screaming for your mommy.

    I already actualized my American dream from poverty to prosperity through my own efforts.

    If people are poor, theres one reason and one reason only: poor decision making.

    There is a reason that 70% of people who win the lottery are penniless within 5 years.

    No I've been steadily investing my money since I was in my 20's instead of running around getting people pregnant, smoking dope, and otherwise doing what those who have nothing partake in.

    If I do lose it all it will be because of medical costs, and if that happens I'll make sure I don't burden my family with those.
