All the News That's Fit to be Tied

I have an axe to grind, but unlike the New York Times, I freely admit it.

President Trump and the Immigration Debate

As usual the enemies of @Potus used his comments to distract from the real meat of the Immigration debate. The President is asking why is our immigration policy focused on bringing in people from primarily third world countries rather than an incentive based system as practiced by other countries like Australia? Of course the answer is relatively simple. Both parties have goals that can be bolstered by illegal immigration. It is said Republicans like the cheap labor and Democrats want the votes. Both things can be true. The President is asking the Congress to revisit the 1965 Immigration Act that changed the focus of immigration policy from predominantly first-world states to third-world countries. He is asking the Congress to end the Visa lottery program. He is asking the Congress to end chain migration. He is asking Congress for the resources to help support the efforts to enforce the border, deport Visa overstays and criminals, and yes, build a wall. Wake up America, the President is working for you. Don’t be distracted by a media that uses distraction as a way to avoid discussing the real issue: The terrible state of our immigration policy.
