Well, he already said he wants to be dictator and most cetainly is trying with his appointees

Genocidal maniac is too extreme but he does blame hard working illegals for rape, drug dealing , gang crime etc when the evidence is the opposite as the facts are they create less crime then the average American and Trump uses them as scapegoat so is not that sociopathic?
So what should the US do about illegals committing crimes when they're not even supposed to be in the country?

When you use a source that has been proven to be lying more than it tells the truth, it shows how you fall for anything that confirms your bias.

That's what I was showing you. It appears you still don't get it.
See once again when I did show you a 100% proof that the Republican individual himself stated it himself in that video, as usual you cannot accept the real facts, and all you do is to continue with your baseless allegations!! :rolleyes:

Kamala is for more affordable housing too. That's greatt!
Glad we agree.

The ACA wasn't popular in 2016. It's gotten more popular.
It was fairly popular in 2016.
It wasn't popular in 2010 when it came in.
It climbed steadily over time, and even people who claim to be against it often support specific parts of it.

This is probably because a lot of people have just come to accept it and many of them aren't impacted by it directly. I know some self-employed people who don't like the program. They always had insurance, but now Obamacare dictates many aspects of their insurance.
There are absolutely individual people who didn't like the change.
Overall it has been a success and is popular.

I'm not saying the ACA is a bad program, but not everyone is/was happy with it.
Name a single government plan that doesn't fit that description.
In a country of 330 million plus, it would be unheard of to have a plan where "everyone is/was happy with it".

As far as Trump not having a replacement plan in place, I think practically speaking it came down to there was no consensus in Congress on how to replace it.
Exactly.
And he went ahead and pushed them to repeal it anyway.
Because having a replacement wasn't the point - getting rid of it was.

Unfortunately, our legislature is not designed to handle all the details of a large complex issue like healthcare.
And that's the other way to think about it, of course.
There was no need for a replacement because just removing all legislation and letting the market sort it out would be better.
Government shouldn't be involved.

Of course, the vast majority of people hated (and still hate) that idea, which was why there was so much lying about their being a replacement plan.

In the end, either Trump wanted it repealed because he just wanted to claim the win and didn't care what happened next, or he was ideologically driven to believe government shouldn't handle it and therefore repealing it without a replacement plan was the goal the whole time.

In the end, enough other people disagreed with "just pull it and let the chips fall where they may" that it didn't pass. (And possibly McCain voted against out of pure spite - difficult to tell.)

I had to finally put skoob on ignore.
As a troll he's both boring and repetitive.
I post here to talk with people with attitudes I don't see in real life, but even here its getting too partisan to be able to discuss issues productively.

I agree they are a problem but not nearly as much as Trump lies they are so a more rational approach is needed

100+ GOP ex-national security officials endorse Harris: Trump 'betrayed our values' (msn.com)

"As president, (Trump) promoted daily chaos in government, praised our enemies and undermined our allies, politicized the military and disparaged our veterans, prioritized his personal interest above American interests and betrayed our values, democracy and this country’s founding documents."

you think democrats saying "Trump is a threat to democracy and should be eliminated" is rational? and who is Kamala doing a favor for opening the border, opening funds for undocumented immigrants first time home buyers? the Citizens?
democrats are putting the word out there until an unhinged individual picks up on it and tries something crazy.

Stop already

undocumented immigrants do not qualify as first time home buyers

Harris says Trump has to be stopped not emlinated , who says eliminated?

Trump encourages attacks on the capitol and police die then says he will pardon killers

Springfield closes schools because of bomb threats and Trump does nothing

Trumps rhetoric encourages violence not Harris

Trumps own rhetoric encourages unhinged individual to try to eliminate him

Trump screams put democrats in jail when he commites the crimes

Trump tries to steal elections and is trying to steal this one

Stop believing Trump

Her answers are nothing except word salad. She has no policies, no answers, no solutions, nothing to offer that differentiates herself from Biden.

She's been a failure as the VP and is a complete imbecile.

Your source has been proven to lie. I showed you the proof. You deflecting to something else is simply a distraction.
Accept it.

That's the HLS , FBI, Secret Service and Kamala's job..not trump. He will do something when he gets elected again...
Trump and Vance spread an unsubstantiated Facebook post vilifying a visible minority group in a small town for something they KNEW (because someone on Vance's team tried to fact check it and found out it was nothing) about. Then, instead of walking it back, like a responisble adult, they basically double down. And, let's remember, Vance even said he made things up to get media attention...

THAT is why Trump is being blamed and called out for not doing anything. It's his smooth-brained followers who are terrorizing a small community.

So what should the US do about illegals committing crimes when they're not even supposed to be in the country?
Without trying to take a partisan shot on this, I would say this is a good question. What to do? The vast majority of folks are not doing anything illegal (as in stealing, murdering, rape, etc.) Most are working jobs the average American doesn't want to do, and sending money back to family in the home country, heck, they even pay taxes.

Now, Trump is all about rounding up 12 MILLION people, which is a logistical nightmare and would be incredibly expensive. And, I've read some reports that the US economy would be seriously hurt if all these migrants were turfed, since they frequently get paid lower wages....So, that would probably be inflationary...

I think the so-called dreamers should have a path to citizenship...But for the others....I don't know. Deport them when they are found, especially the ones doing criminal activity...
