    Yes. This is about supply and demand. There is a large supply of people wanting to come here and there is a large demand by employers to hire migrant labor. As long as that exist enforcement will be difficult.

    Nearly all business groups know this and this the GOP engages in attention grabbing moves like build the Wall that really do much rather than address the fundamental causes.

    I doubt he / she / they are going to change their mind. We’ve seen them move the goalpost and outrightly ignore facts that are counter to their opinion.

    I’m posting this information more for others who forget what Mueller found.

    if you think his/her/their political takes are bad and misinformed, you should see the idiotic posts in the Astros forum. He gets schooled daily there as well. Low intellect, low information, high volume, high conviction. Somewhere there is a graph with the appropriate X and Y axes, and a solid graphical depiction of where trumpers sit.

    I worked in mexican restaurants for years. I don’t think many of my coworkers that were undocumented ever actually jumped the fence.

    One of my friends making a joke said “we have planes and boats in Mexico, we will still find a way to get here”.

    DeSantis is going full fascist.

    Talk about indoctrination.

    So now there is not a wall of separation between church and state, but more of a fence.

    Lmao, differing opinions about the job Click's done is hardly getting owned. Enjoy the misery the Biden administration brings.

    Good because sex ed had nothing to do with any of what I posted.

    Why would you comment on it and not actually listen to it?

    Typical.

    I always thought we taught history so we know where we came from and to learn from our past mistakes so we don't repeat them and celebrate the good things we did along the way also. So they will only be the "positive" spin and gloss over all the bad? I don't get this way of thinking, I never felt bad personally when we dove into the bad stuff, I did wonder what the hell our ancestors were thinking but I never took it as an assault to me and the gop thinks that all these kids after hearing the bad stuff feel guilty, that was never my experience.

    Yeah, it does not make sense and there are not a lot of people that agree with dumbing this stuff down, I really don't see the calculation of why anybody thinks this is a long term plan for success.

    It will definitely hurt him in a presidential run, maybe he just wants to be a Senator next.

    Embrace the pain you libs are putting on the country. I'm looking forward to the day of y'all suffering. You get what you vote for when you go to the grocery store/gas pumps.

    That's taking somebody to school, it's a simple high school economics class.

    Not to mention y'all are a godless group. With low to no moral standards. This is where our real issues lie. Individualism vs the collective, guess which philosophy made this a country people are willing to die to get too? Luckily y'all are in the minority.

    Once we take over we will bury the racists in the GOP and send those cockroaches scurrying back to the travel trailers.

    My god...there is literally only two sentences between these two statements.

    Let's just all sit back and appreciate the enlightened who "enjoy watching people suffer".

    @raining threes isn't very good at Math either....
    Biden 81,268,924 votes
    Trump 74,216,154

    They like to think they're the silent majority but really they're the obnoxiously loud minority.

    This should be Trump's campaign slogan.

    Forget about the person for a moment
