    Yes, let's discuss...

    WTF kind of stereotyping racist comment is that?

    You exactly like Slim?  You have no black friends either?

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you have complete naivety of this subject because your question is so obtuse.  African Americans feel the same way Caucasian Americans feel about illegal immigrants.  Why would they feel otherwise?

    Illegal immigration hurts or helps all Americans depending on societal stature.  If you can afford to employ an au pair it helps you and if you're competing for a job it hurts you and I think that's a quite obvious fact.

    Now I'm going to return one of your

    The GoldenOne,

    I told you, that I have very few friends black /white or whatever..so you need to keep my name out of it..plus if he's like me ..and I don't believe he is ..that's not a bad thing.

    So, you claim to have a black friend or 5 black friends ..how does that equate to you knowing how 13 million black people feel about about illegal aliens ?

    One Scalabrine speaking for all the blacks in America is quite enough for this site..

    But ,I can agree with you with a one caveat...Illegal immigration hurts all Americans regardless of their social status ..

    When discussing the Dems cave-in to Trump, and referring to the Dem position favoring illegal immigrants over American citizens, Senator John Cornyn (R-Tex) said it best-

    "They've taken a hostage that they can't kill."

    This SchumerShutdown is the reason people don't believe the Democrat party stands for anything..

    Chuck U.Schumer should write a book and call it "Art Of The Fail."

    All they got from this shutdown was a kiss and a promise..which is less than nothing.....and the race card didn't work for them this time ..good luck on running this miscalculation in November..

    These tactics will only hurt Democrats even more - Lets be honest if you support the democratic party your supporting a team lead by absolute hissy fitting / pram throwing old people... 

    Democracy is Broken - You guys will never agree - Just start a civil war already and restart with new parties or maybe even a dictatorship.. at least a dictator would get garbage down for your country.. 

    Dems definitely hurt themselves badly on this move.. Badly.. not that it can get much worse - They are basically leaderless anyway.. absolutely ZERO CHANCE Dems are winning the next election - Trump will pick up even more Electorates... its going to be one hell of a good view from my seat in Australia - In saying that our two main political parties are a joke as well.. seems to be contagious... One thing is for sure its great entertainment following USA politics and switching between Fox and CNN and People on You Tube.. Discombobulated is one word that probably describes it best... .

    And Dark Horse - I amazed you actually agreed with any of my points.. I'm glad my 10 mins of typing got us to agree on a couple of things.. 

    One thing I do despise from the Republican side is their gun laws or lack of for another word and the entitlement associated with it... I'm amazed that after so many school shootings etc etc that the USA has not at least all agreed the gun laws have gotten out of hand.. Not saying you shouldn't have a gun but there should never be a need for a semi automatic or automatic rifle if your hunting etc... If you guys cant agree on fixing this what chance do two major parties have or sorting out other important issues...

    So what party do I belong in ?? The Party for a fair dictator that cares about their people party, gets garbage done unobstructed and without drama, puts his country to work... Make it happen..  cause Democracy in the USA is BROKEN !!

Not saying you shouldn't have a gun but there should never be a need for a semi automatic or automatic rifle if your hunting etc... If you guys cant agree on fixing this what chance do two major parties have or sorting out other important issues...

    So what party do I belong in ?? The Party for a fair dictator that cares about their people party, gets garbage done unobstructed and without drama, puts his country to work... Make it happen..  cause Democracy in the USA is BROKEN !!

    17 days.  That's all that was accomplished.  I flipped channels yesterday and the Faux News channel NEVER mentioned that fact.  This is why you can't trust Fox News.  They cherry pick their facts and give you a distorted agenda message.  They said it SAVED the American taxpayers $m's of dollars.  They didn't say it will COST American taxpayers $b's in the long run.  Fox News cherry picks their facts and that's why they cannot be trusted.  17 days and the debacle continues.

    Now, here's the thing about November... It's nine months away and that is a lot of time.  If the economy stays healthy, and that's a huge if, then Americans will vote their pocketbooks.  They always do.  In 2012 Obama hadn't quite yet turned the economic tide and Americans made the Democrats pay heavily.  The same thing can and will happen to the Republicans in November if the stock market tanks, gasoline prices jump upwards, inflation drives up grocery bills, or any other problem because the POTUS cannot control these variables.  People WILL vote their pocketbooks.

    And BTW, I think Trump will be a two term President.  Not like Bush Sr. who was completely disconnected from the voters and couldn't even tell Americans how much a Gallon of Milk cost at the time.  True story, remember?  Because Trump talks a good game and American voters like stability he will be reelected in 2020.

    To answer that question; over 80% of the American public believes the Dreamers should be given a break. The Swede could have avoided the shutdown by simply conceding the point, and doing what the American voting public wants him to do. But, that's not Donald. He still thinks he was elected dic(k)tator, not president, and literally everything must go his way. His hubris and narcissism may yet be his undoing, stay tuned.

    Goose, the current president does not read gricery ads and head for te supermarket. What cost George H. a second term was his "no new taxes" pledge, and nothing else. To cool the economy, avoid inflation, and decrease the deficit, it was probably a wise move, but money in your pocket trumps (pardon the pun) wisdom every single time.

    I would ask you for your source of this number, but the reality is that depending upon who is doing the polling, and who they are polling, you could have written anywhere from 5% to 95% and then provided a link as your resource. 

    For the record, I highly doubt that 80% of this country believes the "Dreamers should be given a break"

    Also of interest is the term "dreamers" ... that is a leftist propaganda term that sounds so much nicer than "illegal" 
    (I am aware of what "Dream" is an acronym for)

    And before you go labeling me for what I just wrote, I am personally for the Dreamers, within certain guidelines.

    It’s racist to ask if a policy regarding an issue is good for African Americans?

    Illegal aliens surrounded Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) home in New York on Tuesday demanding that Congress pass legislation immediately to give millions of people in the United States illegally amnesty and a pathway to citizenship.

    “We want a Clean Dream Act,” the crowd chanted.

    “When do we want it?” they chanted.

    “Now!” they chanted.

    The crowd chanted in Spanish and English to Schumer; “If he won’t let us dream, we won’t let him sleep.”

    No more promises we need a legislative solution NOW!....as illegal aliens we DEMAND it..


    They demand it Chuck ...you better do something..

    Where is a wall around your house when you need one Chuck ?

    Wow, I tried but it's a no go for definite and a maybe on a few policies involving some relaxation on businesses. That depends on how it will effect worker safety and the environment. 
    Another item you mentioned I somewhat agree with is the gun problem we have.That will eventually take care of itself. My logic is that every time there is an incident involving a gun public opinion changes. Sooner or later the 2nd amendment will disappear and it will be because of inaction of the people that support it.
