One more week, and we will see if the Democrats will take over the house and the Senate.
Quote from: Foreverparadise on October 31, 2018, 12:09:48 pmOne more week, and we will see if the Democrats will take over the house and the Senate.Just the house, I think. Though, I want Ted Cruz to lose.“I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.” - Al Franken
The 14th Amendment:"All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside...."I think this should not apply to the children born of illegals, tourists, and diplomats. There is some debate about how to interpret "subject to the jurisdiction thereof". If Trump issues an executive order then the Supreme Court may end up deciding the matter eventually. The Supreme Court has a conservative majority (two of whom are Trump's picks). So that could work in his favor.

A new lawsuit accuses President Trump, his company and three of his children of using the Trump name to entice vulnerable people to invest in sham business opportunities.Filed in federal court in Manhattan on Monday, the lawsuit comes just days before the midterm elections, raising questions about whether its timing is politically motivated. It is being underwritten by a nonprofit whose chairman has been a donor to Democratic candidates.The allegations take aim at the heart of Mr. Trump’s personal narrative that he is a successful deal-maker who built a durable business, charging he and his family lent their name to a series of scams.The 160-page complaint alleges that Mr. Trump and his family received secret payments from three business entities in exchange for promoting them as legitimate opportunities, when in reality they were get-rich-quick schemes that harmed investors, many of whom were unsophisticated and struggling financially.
Quote'Paul Ryan should be focusing on holding the Majority rather than giving his opinions on Birthright Citizenship, something he knows nothing about! Our new Republican Majority will work on this, Closing the Immigration Loopholes and Securing our Border!'So Ryan, detestable and blinkered as he is, who's been in politics his whole life, knows less about birthright citizenship than a former reality tv celebrity who somehow became president two years ago? Imagine that.
'Paul Ryan should be focusing on holding the Majority rather than giving his opinions on Birthright Citizenship, something he knows nothing about! Our new Republican Majority will work on this, Closing the Immigration Loopholes and Securing our Border!'
If the Dems ever took Texas (likely through increasing the Hispanic vote), it would be game over for the Republicans. This is why Republican strategy today is 1. Appealing to more minority voters with the likes of Candace Owens and Kanye and 2. Push immigration reform and drive illegals out. It's kinda their only move.The most concerning thing, as someone who leans right, is our president is dancing around our political process. You can't executive order to change the constitutional amendments. That is seriously compromising our democratic processes. The same process that prevents the left from outright destroying the 2nd amendment is the same that prevents the right from destroying the 14th. Good for Ryan for standing up for some logical consistency. If the president ever went through on this, it would further alienate many in his own party.
President Donald Trump’s campaign claimed in an ad that Democrats are responsible for a Mexican citizen who killed two California deputies, and Trump’s critics have called the spot racist and divisive.“Illegal immigrant, Luis Bracamontes, killed our people!” reads the opening text in a campaign ad tweeted by Trump Wednesday.“Democrats let him stay,” the next line reads.The man featured in the video is Luis Bracamontes, a Mexican citizen who had repeatedly entered the U.S. illegally and was sentenced to death for the murder of two Sacramento County sheriff’s deputies.
“It is outrageous what the Democrats are doing to our Country. Vote Republican now!” the president tweeted alongside the ad.
“Who else would Democrats let in?” the ad asks rhetorically in conclusion, before closing with a message that “President Donald J. Trump and Republicans are making America safe again.”
In response to the new ad featuring Bracamontes, Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, a Trump critic, said, “This is just a new low in campaigning. It’s sickening,” according to CNN’s Jake Tapper.

I didn't hear any outrage from you when that right wing whack job shot up a synagogue last week so can we take it that you're not so outraged by violent criminals per-se but rather when they enter into the country from south of the border?

America already has its own problems and doesn't need to become the dumping ground for other countries' problems. England used to deport its criminals and send them to America. America put a stop to that after independence. Now history is repeating itself due to politicians not being willing to prioritize the well-being of the citizens who voted them into office.
