    I'm starting to think that Joe Biden might be an alright guy as president, at least on immigration. I saw a video on Fox news from 2006 where he was in favor of building a border barrier, as he was complaining about illegal immigration.

    I also heard that he was in favor of college financial aid for illegals, which sounds pretty nasty to most conservative-minded people like myself,

    If he would have ran in the last election he would have had my vote. Now I'm not to sure. I am a strong Trump supporter and believes he deserves another term after all the "crap" he's put up with. Once a person is elected to office they deserve the respect the Presidency gives them. The Dems have done nothing but "bash" the Presidential office. In turn every putz in congress and the media thinks they can do a better job. It's sad what has happened to our country. It's become unrecognizable to me.

    Hello Aaron,

    I'm starting to think that Joe Biden might be an alright guy as president,
    at least on immigration. I saw a video on Fox news from 2006 where he was
    in favor of building a border barrier, as he was complaining about illegal immigration.

    We do need comprehensive immigration reform. About one third of
    the US/Mexican border has a wall, which should be maintained. How
    much more of the border should have a wall remains an open question,
    but it should be noted that it is impossible to have a continuous
    wall along the entire border, given some of the terrain.

    I also heard that he was in favor of college financial aid for illegals, >which sounds pretty nasty to most conservative-minded people like myself,
    but
    I think that if he was serious about the border barrier first, then nobody >cooperated with him, and illegals flooded in, then as a democrat, he really >can't turn his back on them (the illegals) at that point; nobody wanted to >stop them from coming in? Fine then; we'll have to treat them like they're >our own (or better.)

    Gary Hart had a better idea. Just send Mexico as much money as it
    needed. Then US citizens would be going to Mexico for jobs rather
    than the other way around.

    And I also think that sniffing women isn't a bad thing. If Joe Biden wants
    to sniff chicks, then it's alright with me. I sniff them once in a while
    too.

    I was cured of that habit a long time ago. In an elevator in
    New Orleans. A lady walked in, the doors closed, and whatever
    she had on almost floored me. I wound up burning the clothes
    I had on since I could never get the stench out ...

    Hello Steve,

    Once a person is elected to office they deserve the respect the Presidency
    gives them.

    President for life?

    We shoulda stuck with Jimmy Carter.

    "Why not the best?" ~Jimmy Carter

    Imagine having a president, first elected in 1976, now 94 years young,
    and still teaching Sunday School in Plains, Georgia ...

    Presidency gives them.

    That is correct, but respect also must be earned, does not free-flow with the title.

    The Dems have done nothing but "bash" the Presidential office. In turn every putz in congress and the media thinks they can do a better job.

    So what else is new? I live a continent away and it's the same here ... people in office will be bashed, comes with the job. Can't stand the heat? Open a candy store.

    But looking at it from an international perspective, the current President has been the most disruptive for as far as I can recollect and that starts with the
    final days of Eisenhower. I cycled through 12 of them. Internationally, everyone of those Presidents was honoured and duly respected ... everyone, except Trump.

    The cheering section promoting him sounds like a mantra, repeat it long enough and it'll stick, like the Hare Krishna followers ...

    Hare Krisna Hare Krisna
    Krisna Krisna Hare Hare
    Hare Rama Hare Rama
    Rama Rama Hare Hare

    Even the New York Times swallows the fake news and by doing so promotes it to real news ...

    Trump twittered the unemploymency was at an all-time low in March I think. Technically correct but only because of the about 400,000 people who retired and whose jobs became vacant only 200,000 were filled and the other 200,000 scrapped. Statistically correct statement by the President but the reality got a little bit worse ...

    And let's not forget the US military which consists mainly of unemployed people
    unable to land a real job.

    President Trump is notorious for lying and manipulating. There are in the meantime several websites from respected research institutes, not the dingbats from Breitbart or FoxNews, listing the Trump inaccuracies/lies which are nevertheless being sucked-up by his supporters. And he can just continue doing that unpunished because Congress is powerless through division ... "We The People" ? Not since January 20 2017.

    Here's a list of recent Trump-nonsens ...

    www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/byruling/false/

    In the last few months, his statements were ...

    True 31 (5%)
    Mostly True 72 (11%)
    Half True 96 (14%)
    Mostly False 141 (21%)
    False 230 (34%)
    Pants on Fire 101 (15%)

    And I didn't invent those figures.

    Trump figured he was getting to the Nobel Peace Prize while dealing with North Korea while "Rocket Man" was making a fool of him and showing he was the better
    politician and the whole world laughed, except the people citing the mantra ... they take it for real.

    Trump has destabilized world-trade which is recovering by mostly slicing the US
    out of its deals because the US is not a stable trusted partner. World peace, for as much as it exists, depends on stable trade as demonstrated by the EU in Europe and by de-stabilizing that trade, Trump has turned the World into a more
    dangerous place.

    I'm amazed that so many people fail to recognize this. And it goes beyond party-borders.

    The world is anxiously awaiting someone else, Rep or Dem doesn't matter. Pence would do fine, he is welcomed at NATO meetings more friendly than Trump. During
    Trump's first 2 visits the welcoming committee prepared 2 versions, one said "Welcome President Trump", the other "Welcome President Pence". Just to be on the safe side.

    It was disrespectful when Trump got elected, and then reporters on CNN

    CNN used to be my favorite news channel until all this. I think the best looking chicks they got should migrate over to Fox.

    While I agree with this, I also believe there are many in this country who would not have any respect for him, or anyone else, that is not from "the left." While I did not agree with things that Obama or Bill did, I think
    it would be pretty neat to meet them. These folks I am thinking of
    probably would have spit on George H.W. Bush if they met him, especially
    since 2016, yet he, Carter, and Ford are probably the three most-neutral presidents I can remember in my lifetime

    Well, after a globalist like Obama, I am sure Europe and elsewhere is not
    happy that they are no longer seen as being on equal footing with the
    citizens of the states that actually elect the President. He runs his
    mouth (and fingers) way too much, but it is nice to feel like we actually
    have someone in office who thinks of his own citizens first rather than
    looking down their noses at some of us "fly-over" people.

    I have a problem with this Twitter stuff. The man is entitled to his >SW>>"opinion" just like the rest of us. He's not required to have all
    the "facts" straight. Twitter is not an official representation of >SW>>the White House.

    He uses it as if it is official. He uses Twitter is to fire
    government officials -- he cannot do it face to face.

    I think it's sad our elected officials will be won or lost by what they say
    on their Twitter account. Sad indeed.

    Madonna dumped her boyfriend by sending him a text message
    from her cell phone. But that was before twitter.

    Now we have the president of the united states exchanging love
    letters via twitter with various dictators from around the world.

    I'm just glad he hasn't found snapchat yet.

    I used to keep informed by the Evening News and Newspaper. Now when I watch the news the headline is what Donald Trump said on his Twitter Page. The the entire world has an opinion about his opinion. I just want the facts! Opinions are like butt-holes. Everyone has one and everyone thinks the other one's stink! That's just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller HBO)

    Agreed. What people say on Twitter is not news, and the newcasters who are using it to fill their news programs are lazy.

    In point of fact, the town drunk could do a better job than any of the crooks in congress, including the senate

    Sheldon Whitehouse is a US senator who looks like he's drunk all the time. Maybe that will work?

    Corruptocrats won't let the state take them off

    Let me guess: It's a human rights thing? Being pc is probably more important than stopping any crime from happening.

    Without comprehensive immigration reform, then no improvement can
    be made. It takes both parties to work things out in order to make changes. Otherwise, we will all be stuck with what we have.

    So you're saying that Trump is doing a good thing by passing his watered-down proposal to Congress?

    I think so too. If they don't like it, we can change some stuff around, and
    try again.

    Piece-meal immigration reform is not comprehensive immigration reform.
    Time for the Trump administration to man up and allow for a vote in
    both houses so that comprehensive immigration reform can finally be
    passed, thus allowing him to sign it into law.

    I think so too. If they don't like it, we can change some stuff around, and
    try again.

    Piece-meal immigration reform is what the Congress has been doing
    for decades. The only reason why comprehensive immigration reform
    has not been passed is because Republican leadership in the House
    refused a vote to be taken. With the Democrats now having the
    majority in the House, the onus is on the Republican leadership
    in the Senate. But we all know that Senate majority leader Mitch
    McConnell will never allow it to come to a vote, now that the
    Democrats control the House.

    Hello Aaron,

    Now we have the president of the united states exchanging love
    letters via twitter with various dictators from around the world.

    Trump's data plan is less expensive than Obama's planeful of cash plan.

    The Trump administration paid $2 million USD for a nearly dead
    young man named Otto to be returned to the US. How much did the
    Obama administration pay for Americans being held hostage in NK?

    I give Obama credit for making "planeful" the standard measurement for
    payment to sponsors of terrorism.

    The Obama administration imposed sanctions on Russia after it
    invaded (and illegally annexed) part of Ukraine. President Trump
    has publicly stated he wants to lift those sanctions, without
    any concessions from Russia. This is akin to rewarding the aggressor
    for having broken international law.

    How many "planefuls" has Trump offered in his handout buffet?

    Trump has been engaged in a money laundering scheme with the Russians
    since before the presidential election. Imagine the horror when the
    Congress finally gets hold of those income tax returns. Speaker
    Pelosi will have no choice but to initiate impeachment proceedings ...

    Piece-meal immigration reform is not comprehensive immigration reform.

    It's a piece of something. Very disappointing, but it's still better than nothing, for me.

    Constantly running a car on an empty tank is never going to solve
    the problem.

    Visas for those with skills exist. Not an unlimited number.
    And only good for a certain amount of time.

    Why wouldn't he?

    When the Republicans had a majority in the House, the Senate
    majority passed a bill for comprehensive immigration reform by
    unanimous consent. The bill was then sent to the House, in
    which the House leadership refused to allow a vote to be held.

    Now that the Democrats have a majority in the House, the
    Senate leadership will never allow a vote to be held if the
    House passes a bill for comprehensive immigration reform.

    That way, Donald Trump can always blame the Nancy Pelosi
    and the Democrats for all his problems, rather than Mitch
    McConnell and the Republicans.

    Sooner or later the opposition will run out of horsepower

    I'm starting to think that Joe Biden might be an alright guy as president, at least on immigration. I saw a video on Fox news from 2006 where he was in
    favor of building a border barrier, as he was complaining about illegal immigration.

    I also heard that he was in favor of college financial aid for illegals,
    which sounds pretty nasty to most conservative-minded people like myself, but
    I think that if he was serious about the border barrier first, then nobody cooperated with him, and illegals flooded in, then as a democrat, he really can't turn his back on them (the illegals) at that point; nobody wanted to
    stop them from coming in? Fine then; we'll have to treat them like they're
    our own (or better.)

    And I also think that sniffing women isn't a bad thing. If Joe Biden wants to sniff chicks, then it's alright with me. I sniff them once in a while too.
