It is indeed a crisis and those that say otherwise have their heads in the sand.

Feel free to comment about the above topic - will forward the thread to Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader McConnell when they return from their Holiday break.

  • It's an American problem , not just 2 People's problems .

    Immigrants will never stop trying or coming but all Americans working on the problem can slow running water to a steady drip .

    IMO, the USA government makes it too easy for the Illegals crossing the southern border to stay in the USA at taxpayers expense. If they (Illegals) can walk 2,000 miles to get to the USA then why not have them to walk to the State of Utah (plenty of room) where they will be processed and housed till their court hearings come up. Sounds crazy doesn't it but no more crazier than the current immigration laws of the USA....please Congress Do Something when you reconvene from the Holiday.

    My feelings are that if the current Congress refuses to work on this, the American voters find someone who will. We have reached the state of ridiculous on the matter.

    The DNC is running an ad at the top of Yahoo Mail begging people to fill out a survey.

    Occasionally there will also be an ad from one of the 20 some odd Hapless Hopefuls.

    A thought from a legal citizen and voter - who pays the bills of the 3 branches of the federal government....the American taxpayers or the Illegals who violated USA laws by entering the country illegally?

  • Put a tariff on illegal immigrants.:)

    Oops, Already got one called sponsorship; never been enforced and Trump plans to start. Sounds silly but no more than some judge blocking the use of military to secure the border.

    Gov. of New Mexico has a change of heart when the Illegals gets into the State money.

  • Over 500 winters ago the invaders arrived on the Great Lands after crossing the Great Waters -- Atlantic Ocean . The Tribes continued fighting each other as they had since the beginning of time instead of being as one and fighting to repelling these invaders .

    These invaders kept advancing little by little taking more and more of the Great Lands from the People . When the invaders finally reached the border , or the Great Muddy Mississippi , the Tribes continued to fight each other instead of becoming as one to repel the invaders . Eventually the invaders took over all of the Great Lands to the other Great Waters - the Pacific .

    Now the invaders come from the South little by little , the Americans fight each other instead of uniting as one to repel these invaders .

    Life is a circle , what has happened before will happen again ...

    Rick: Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

  • The Battle on the Great Grassy , also known as Custer's Last Stand , or the Defeat of Yellow Hair , show what the power of the Tribes as one could do .

    Alas , it was too little too late ..

    Rick: If the Tribes back in 1607 at Jamestown or at Plymouth Rock in 1620, would have given the Europeans free health care, free lodging, and welfare then the Tribes could have controlled them from the start to make them dependent for their livelihood.

  • But they did welcome the invaders with open arms .

    The long time enemies , Shoshone , Cheyenne , Arapaho , and Sioux , lead by Crazy Horse , united as one to defeat Yellow Hair and his USA 7th Calvary at the Great Grassy , the worse defeat of the USA 7th Calvary in history .
