That statement in and of itself doesn't bother me, but just remember however there are only a small percentage of true native american's; we all are descendants from what those first american's would consider illegal immigrants.

I stated before, I'm ok with tougher immigration laws, provided they are balanced and fair. I'm not sure DJT understands that the country as a whole is facing a labor shortage down the road, so you can only take that policy too far before it puts a serious burden on the manufacturing and farming industries and others.

Just like I'm concerned about DJT latest chest beating get the base all excited beat down on our Nato allies as the summit begins; asking them to pay a higher % of GDP than we currently do is a really great way to start the summit. America wins nothing if we alienate the allies we need to keep Russia and others in check, yeah negotiate a fair deal, but let's do it smartly.

Yet when they tried to enforce the ones currently on the books people lost their friggin minds.

Just curious what you would consider balanced and fair? It seems to me that people coming from Asia,Europe, and most of the other countries that have to fly do so legally. otherwise they would not gain entry at customs. Those to our south who refuse to seek legal avenues of entry merely get smuggled or walk across a border that is not protect sufficiently.
