Discussion: Trump: ‘Consequences’ For People Who Cross Border Illegally, Including Families

How about ‘consequences’ for people who get themselves illegally installed as POTUS by means of conspiring with a hostile foreign adversary? What should we do about illegal presidents, Traitor Trump?

Absolutely. If, for no other reason, most Texan politicians aren’t in favor of it. They understand the dynamics (economically & politically) of trying to build some sort of wall separating TX & Mex. Whatever partition is there now is what’s going to be there in the future.

As we approach the end-game for this miscreant I expect the thrashing about to get wilder and wilder.

What we're seeing with Trump's current political strategy is something very similar to the maneuvers of a corporation pulling out the stops to delay the inevitable coming bankruptcy. As with the corporate bankruptcy, one can't really predict what the final straw will be. - Nils Gilman
His considerable experience with corporate bankruptcies is not likely to translate well into the political sphere so, if he cannot find some kind an exit, I also expect to see worse than a government shutdown.

Did We The People restore the Statue of Liberty in 1976 for the bicentennial just so Trump could kill our spirit?

Respectfully -

'76 was: pre-Reagan, pre-Bush/Atwatter, pre-Rehnquist, pre-Gingrich, pre-Koch Birchers, pre-Bush/Cheney/Rove/DeLay, et al.

IOW, a whole, 'nother century and country.

To our eternal regrets.

Since we all know Trump is the world’s premiere projectionist, it behooves us to ask, “What sinister purpose is Trump using children for?”

Yes. There is an article in Barron’s this week on the American Economy’s desperate need for new immigrants and the need to retain and protect the immigrants who are here. This is not a liberals’ issue.

Well, I can think of three that are criminals just because their father and grandfather were criminals. Two males that live in NYC and one female that lives in Washington D.C.

They do.

“Please understand, there are consequences when people cross our Border illegally, whether they have children or not - and many are just using children for their own sinister purposes. Congress must act on fixing the DUMBEST & WORST immigration laws anywhere in the world! Vote “R””

What’s the definition of a terrorist?

Wouldn’t holding hostages or kidnapping children to get your demands met qualify?

There are consequences for committing treason, too. You’re soon to find out what they are.

Yup and those pesky consequences include kidnapping, child abuse, sexual abuse of children, isolation, deprivation, emotional abuse, just garden variety deterrents.

Even as Trump pushes nostalgia, you have the demographic trend of 5 billion people moving to some sort of middle-class (lower middle income) in the global population. Mobility of human capital is just as inevitable as mobility of financial capital. One way the Democrats can short-circuit this nostalgia is to end birth-right citizenship for non-residents. Most countries in the world have never had this or abolished it. Slavery has been outlawed for over a century and half, so there are no children of parents in the US living conceived by slave parents. It is a necessary step to regularized immigration.

" many are just using children for their own sinister purposes". Remember, when Donald accuses anyone of anything, it is something he is doing himself.
