Solving the Mexican immigration problem is easy,

Obivioulsy if millions of them are fleeing to the USA becasue Mexico is so bad, We should invade mexico and provide them freedom, Take over the country and add them to the states.

Mexico has 31 states, We take them over and make America into a country with 81 states. This would solve multiple problems.

No need for illegal imigration, every mexican would now be american

We could finally stomp out drugs being imported across the mecian border,

We could target the cartels and destroy them using US law,

We would increase Americas land mass meaning more space for people,

We would own more farm land,

We woul have more ocean ports for trade,

We would decrease out imports,

ect........


Just to point out that Mexican cartels and drugs have killed more people im america then every terror attack combined. Why havent we invaded mexico ??

With that logic we should take over the whole world.  No more isis no more north korea.  All issues solved!

Why has the rate of illegal immigration declined since 2007?

Part of the increase before 2007 was caused by rumors of amnesty.  When the effort was defeated, many who came specifically on the promise of being legal began to leave.

After 2008, we were in a down economy.  Fewer jobs, companies going out of business, stock market value 1/2 what it was, unemployment rising monthly, food stamp claims doubled ... not the best environment to try and make a living as an illegal.

Mexico has 31 states, We take them over and make America into a country with 81 states. This would solve multiple problems.

The US became involved in Korea and Vietnam to stop the spread of communism throughout eastern Asia. It's my belief that if the US made the Philippines a State in 1945 (almost 19M population at the time), we wouldn't have been involved in these conflicts. We coulda turned the entire country into an unsinkable aircraft carrier. It's too late for that now.

As long as immigrations officers are allowed to perform their duties without all the Obama era bs, I would be happy if they started building the wall by the midpoint of DJT's 1st term.  Of course they could also step up use of drone/satellite surveillance and ground penetrating radar/sonar coverage for tunnels in the meantime without the wall.
Also increased funding to CG to patrol TX and CA waters.  Sessions is right about how the MS-13 problem was magnified by Obama's immigration policies.    Like ISIS and AQ, MS-13 and it's members need to be eradicated and those who conspire to protect them imprisoned.    Indicting a few mayors, city prosecutors or AGs etc. would stop this nonsense right quick IMO.

So are you guys happy with the progress that he's made in his first 100 days? I think it's all a huge joke.

I wish there had been fewer instances of sabotage by the Democrats in Congress and on the courts, but I'm happy.  He's accomplished many of the promises he made, at least those he could do without help.

Accomplishment ...
#1 :  Hillary isn't President.

#2:  Supreme Court nominee confirmed.

#3:  Working on the wall.

#4:  Working on Sanctuary Cities.

#5:  Took action in Syria against chemical weapons use rather than draw yet another unenforced line in the sand.

#6:  Rolled back lots of EPA and Corporate regulations, and requires 2 regulations be terminated for every regulation enacted.

#7:  Announced we no longer have to fear having no health coverage which would have triggered an IRS penalty next April.

#8:  Plans to double standard deductions for individual tax returns.

#8:  Created over 500,000 new jobs.  These are real jobs, not government jobs paid for by tax revenue.

#9.  Has shown 10,000 time more respect for the military than the previous administration.

#10:  Signed an EO expanding the VA services option to go to private providers when VA providers can't be scheduled.

#11.  Started deporting illegal immigrants who committed other crimes and is  working on how to best handle the "Dreamers" who were either born in the US or had no part in the decision to come to the US as young children.

#12.  Didn't compromise on the Republican's plan to "tweak" the ACA instead of repeal it over some period of time.

#13:  Revived the Keystone XL pipeline and Dakota Access pipelines.

#14:  Withdrawing the US from TPP

#15:  Preparing to withdraw from or renegotiate NAFTA.

#16:  Froze hiring government positions excluding military positions to stop the expanding size of government.


There are many others, but these are some highlights.

So I guess he gets points for being yet another outsider who becomes another Washington insider. Surprising no one...

Can you expound on that?

He's the Executive Officer for the country.  He can't stay "outside" after being elected. 

Obama was an insider and look how well that worked out!

Says the guy who was a Gang-of-Eight-Gang-of-Six-increase-immigration-and-path-to-citizenship-for-illegals-Rubio fanboy... Let's imagine what those Rubio first 100 days would have looked like... on second thought, let's not.

If Trump comes through on 10% of what he promised, we're magnitudes better off than if Clinton came through on 1% of what she promised.

Just my personal opinion, of course.

He's made progress.  I don't think anyone can deny that.  Yeah, he still says stupid things.  Yeah, some of his policy ideas make me scratch my head, but it is my opinion that he is making positive changes (progress) in many areas and slowing the regress in things such as the previous administrations hard on for increasing the racial divide under the guise of "fairness and equality". 

I forgot, you like more questions than answers.  I supposed you would have loved to stick with the road that the previous administration was leading us down. . .

....
Change happens slowly.
When I started working for this pretty big operation, they were doing things in incredibly obsolete ways.
I complained and presented inexpensive solutions to make the operations simpler and faster.
Fast forward 8 years....I've given up because I got other things to think about, like retiring and shooting stuff.
Hardly anything changed for the better.

And so it is for Trump.
Half of the country is firmly entrenched in the status quo.

Generally speaking, it would take a catastrophic event to effect quick and major changes.

True, Dubya was the only recent President who's polls were higher at the mid-terms compared to the election which can be attributed to 9-11.

Continuing on. I'm not going to bother citing the source because I know you guys don't care.

"Both Parties Claim Measure of Victory in Rare Bipartisan Budget Deal
Republicans, who have been blamed for past government shutdowns, didn't want to own another, especially since they are the party in control of both houses of Congress as well as the White House.

That the funding deadline came so close to President Donald Trump's 100th day in office was another impetus to striking a deal. And after a failed first attempt to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, a six-year GOP campaign promise, they are a party trying to prove that they can govern.

The bill maintained funding for Planned Parenthood and sanctuary cities. It included money for Puerto Rico's Medicaid program and a permanent funding stream for coal miners' health insurance. It also directed money for the cost-sharing subsidies for low income people to purchase health insurance in the Affordable Care Act. All of these were Democratic demands.

It includes an additional $2 billion for the National Institute of Health, despite Trump's desire to cut funding. It fully funded Pell Grants to help low-income people pay for college. It included $17 more million for renewable energy programs and $42 million for the Department of Energy's department of science.

It included an additional $1.5 billion in border security, but $1.5 billion less than Trump wanted, and had no funding at all for the construction of a border wall."

I forgot, you like more questions than answers.  I supposed you would have loved to stick with the road that the previous administration was leading us down. . .

Actually, I expect Trump to be more like Dubya and Obama after the mid-term elections. There's only so many losses he can take before realizing he has to play ball with Washington. The only other alternative is for him to take his ball and go home.

"So President Donald Trump has discovered that being president is a hard job – harder even than being a reality TV star and real estate brand-builder.
"I loved my previous life. I had so many things going," Trump told Reuters in an interview. "This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier."

No wall i guess this is it, its never happening.

Probably not before his reelection campaign. Actually that's not true since he already started his reelection campaign on Jan 20th with his most recent campaign stop in Pennsylvania last Saturday. That seems to be the only thing he's good at... and golfing.

So you're judging him negatively because he admits that being POTUS is a tough job?  I believe he is willing to put in the work and isn't afraid of bucking the establishment.

We are on the same island.
Someday we will meet.
I'll buy you a beer or food at Cafe 100.
As this is a public forum we don't
expose our real identities.
Look forward to meeting you!

Right or wrong, I was curious if you guys are okay with this.

No, the wall is a waste. As is his ability to string together a coherent sentence.

Obama was articulate (at least when he was behind a teleprompter).  That's no indication of ability to succeed.

There isn't much that offends me. What really sets me off is hypocrisy. I hate the Democrat hypocrisy of rich people representing the poor. I hate the Republican hypocrisy of screwing over the poor for the rich. We in the middle class are stuck between a rock and a hard place. I hated the hypocrisy of the Clinton's thinking they could push their business dealings to the edge of legality. News flash, Trump is doing the exact same thing except that we knew it before the election and then we find out that Wikileaks was getting their information from the Russians.

"Wikileaks, I love Wikileaks. And I said write a couple of them down. Let’s see. During a speech crooked Hillary Clinton, oh she’s crooked folks. She’s crooked as a three-dollar bill. Okay here’s one. Just came out. ‘Lock her up’ is right. [10/10/16]"

Where's the investigation against Hillary? Where's the defamation lawsuits against the dozen or so women who accused him of sexual harassment? If I had done or said half the things that Trump said, my ass would be hauled into HR and fired like Billy Bush, Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly, not to mention Bill Cosby.
