The wall was simply a part of an overall immigration policy that certainly would have worked had it been implemented but since it never was then obviously immigration never got tackled. It would take far more then just 4 years anyways but it was a solid plan.

Thank you for the European history on the invasion, Europe isn't my strong suit but I knew it was along those lines.

And no, Muslims have proven to be quite formidable at times however I will always hate them for inventing algebra.

You've no idea how much suffering that has caused me.

He's correct about the Muslim getting to the gates of Vienna. Luckily, King Sobieski of Poland pushed back the Turks and the Crimean Khan from the Golden Apple.

Democrats actually believe these people are just migrant farmers. They are also working at poultry and cattle ranches for the subcontractors of companies like Tyson and JBL, and every other industry where large corporations can subtract to employers that can pay illegals an amount way below the standard of living for the middle class American. In fact, I've managed construction jobs for multi-million dollar multifamily housing projects (new developments or remodels of hundreds to thousands of Apt. units) for several years, and we would always lose bids due to labor costs cause our company and our subcontractors pay their workers a living wage. My company hired thousands of crews across the United States. Since these contractors were priced out of the game, they either gave up on the business, hired illegal immigrants, or limited their services to repair work. In aggregate from all the electricians, plumbers, HVAC, demolition, etc., contractors I've talked to over the years, their companies had to cut thousands of American workers.

The employers that can't get cheap labor for higher level jobs will either get a work Visa for someone from India, or they'll just move operations overseas.

Exactly.

The more the left supports them the more jobs they can push into which would be fine but they are doing it illegally.

It means they are funneling money, in multiple ways, out of our economy but the left needs to turn it into a race issue which it isn't.

Looks like even Yahoo! is starting to see some ominous writing on the wall if I saw them pick up THIS article ...

A Stinging Setback in California Is a Warning for Democrats in 2022

LOS ANGELES — Two years ago, Democrats celebrated a sweep of seven Republican-held congressional seats in California as evidence of the party’s growing ability to compete in swing districts here and across the nation. But this year, Republicans snatched back four of those seats even as Joe Biden swamped President Donald Trump in California. The losses stunned Democrats and contributed to the razor-thin margin the party will hold in the House of Representatives this January. The turnaround is testimony to how competitive the seats are, particularly in Orange County, once a bastion of conservative Republicanism that has been moving steadily Democratic over the past 20 years. But by any measure, the results were a setback for Democrats in this state and nationally, signaling the steep obstacles they will face in 2022 competing in the predominantly suburban swing districts that fueled their takeover of the House in 2018.

The Democrats’ losses came for a number of reasons, including forces particular to California and the complications of campaigning during a pandemic. But as much as anything, they reflected the potency of Republican attacks, some false or exaggerated, that Democrats were the party of socialism, defunding the police and abolishing private health insurance. The attacks — led in no small part by Trump as a central part of his reelection strategy — came at a time when parts of California were swept by street protests against police abuses, some of which turned into glass-shattering bouts of looting and confrontations with law enforcement that were heavily covered on local television.

“Republicans hung around Democrats’ necks that we are all socialist or communist and we all wanted to defund the police,” said Harley Rouda, a Democrat from Orange County who was defeated by Michelle Steel, a Republican member of the Orange County board of supervisors. “In my opinion, we as a party did a less than adequate job in refuting that narrative. [Maybe because you believe in it yourselves - SW] Republicans said that attempts by Democrats to portray themselves as moderates were undercut by a shift of the party to the left and by the demonstrations. “It was incredibly easy for us to draw contrasts,” said Jessica Millan Patterson, leader of the California Republican Party. She said the protests “were happening all over. It looked like a war zone.”

“Everyone is concerned about COVID,” said Sam Oh, a Republican consultant to two of the Republican winners, Young Kim and Steel. “But we are trying to find a path to give small-business owners a way to keep making a life. This is incredibly important, and Democrats are tone-deaf to this.” And Republicans, analysts said, recruited strong candidates, which is always the most critical task in an election. They included Steel and Kim, who will be among the first Korean-American members of Congress, and Mike Garcia, a former military pilot who won a special election in May to replace Hill and then beat Smith in November...But Republicans succeeded this time by playing on themes that have long been resonant among moderate voters, particularly in places like Orange County: high taxes, intrusive government and law and order. Democrats said the debates on the national stage hurt them, particularly among Latino and Asian-American voters. “I think we undervalued the strength of the attack,” said Dan Sena, who was the first Hispanic executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “The national socialism messaging, combined with the crime messaging, was a death by a thousand cuts in a place like California.”

In one potential sign of a shift, Newsom is facing a recall campaign, in no small part because of his handling of the pandemic, and while it is unlikely that he will be knocked out of office and replaced by a Republican, it is certainly not impossible. That was how Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, became governor in 2003. “California’s at a turning point,” Patterson said. “People are waking up to what Democrats are doing here. This was a referendum on what California Democrats have been doing and what the governor has been doing to this state.” Republicans argued that the results here — and across the country — were powerful evidence that many voters were rejecting policies that Democrats on the left were advocating.“Democrats said they were going to pick up 10 to 15 seats in the House,” said Torunn Sinclair, a press secretary for the National Republican Congressional Committee. “Obviously they are missing something. It has to go back to these far-left policies that people just didn’t want. ‘Medicare for All,’ defunding the police.”

The only good news here for Dems in California is that Yahoo! took this story from the NYTimes, so it is possible that this is just another story they made up. Nevertheless, if you're seeing this kinda stuff in California of all places -

It’s good to know some in the gop are throwing trump’s demagoguery under the bus where it belongs.
So-called trumpism is nothing more than racist, divisive, seditious demagoguery.
If the repubs start appealing to the decent part of society instead of pandering to trump’s cult, they will attract a lot of people.
Anyone who keeps parroting trump’s bullshit will become as discredited as the orange dotard has been.

You drop the word 'cult' and 'parroting' after parroting the cult-like mindset that Pres Trump is/was racist. Did you realize you were doing that at the time?

I like the way you respond to post that shows class and we can continue to disagree civilly. I will at some point did up stats if they are available but I do understand that influx via the southern border is not at the level it once was. Illegals come in by airplane from India, Russia, Chins, parts of Africa and believe it or not from Ireland who come in to be reason food workers and stay.

Too bad about your getting slammed by algebra. I understad , I loved algebra and geometry but just sucked at arithmetic.

...he's "excited to be a part" of where the GOP is headed and lauded the caliber of the other members of his freshman class of Republican representatives.

"We're already seeing our freshman class being just bursting at the seams with females, minorities and veterans," Moore said of the group that's been hailed as a triumph of candidate recruitment. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., dubbed 2020 "the year of Republican women."

Rep.-elect Blake Moore told Fox News he's "excited" for the future of the GOP. (Blake Moore)

Earlier this year, Republicans were crowing about their new class of candidates, including Rep. Mike Garcia, R-Calif., Rep.-elect Maria Salazar, R-Fla., and Rep-elect Mary Miller, R-Ill. Nevertheless, many predicted a bloodbath for down-ballot Republicans on Election Day. Instead, the GOP picked up a slew of seats across the country and slimmed down the Democratic House majority significantly.....

The incoming GOP freshman class in the US House is very promising. Almost all populist conservatives who are pro Trumpism. The number of women, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans,African Americans in the GOP House membership is expanding greatly and a lot of the women and minority members are part of the pro free market capitalist oriented freedom force to directly take on the squad.
