[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it so interesting that if Obama or Bill Clinton had proposed this wall, it would probably already have been built, with Democrats cheering in adulation. Bill Clinton especially took a very hardline, no-nonsense approach to illegal immigration. But since it was Trump's idea, it must be mocked and derided.

Uh yeah, it's called politics. Did you expect Democrats to play nice after the Republicans and their enablers spent the last 10 years pursuing their conspiracy theories like Benghazi. When you're incompetent, a compulsive liar, and most people hate you, it's hard to get what you want. I'm an independent (former R), and can't believe that 40% of Americans approve of Fox news and this idiot.[/quote]

(former D, now Ind) - Your thinking is illogical.  If the Ds in the past would have supported such a measure - and yes, Clinton was tough on immigration and crime, incarcerating many people for minor offenses - why would one president change their minds on an issue?

I am a first-gen.  My parents fully supported tough immigration laws b/c they entered legally, learned the language, and worked their ass*s off to provide a stable home for our family.  They would not have voted for Trump, but they understood that some issues transcended party lines.

As an Ind, I'm surprised by your line of thinking.  But you seem to prefer black and white thinking.[/quote]
