    The lies are being told by this administration as they try to slide out from under responsibility for the mess they have made on the border.

    They have many who, like you, believe them posting in their defense.

    A false, manufactured "scandal":

    https://nymag.com/intelligencer/201...dal-shows-theres-no-sane-wing-of-the-gop.html



    The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration reviewed a decade of IRS handling of political organizations. It found that scores of liberal groups were subject to the same heavy scrutiny that conservative groups faced. This merely certified what had been perfectly clear all along. Within months of the “targeting scandal” breaking, evidence was already available to show that the IRS was giving political activists on the left the same treatment as those on the right. (The New York Times reported on this as early as June 2013.) Subsequent hearings turned up no evidence Obama had ordered the IRS to target conservatives because the IRS did not in fact target conservatives. The fact some conservatives had a hard time dealing with the IRS did not prove the IRS is targeting conservatives any more than some conservatives having a hard time renewing their driver’s licenses would prove the DMV is targeting conservatives.

    And yet the scandal has lived on and on in the conservative mind. House Republicans have demanded the impeachment of the IRS commissioner; The House Republicans’ website continues to insist “The American people deserve answers”; last month, Republicans expressed outrage that the Department of Justice declined to prosecute former IRS official Lois Lerner, whose name has become a right-wing trigger-phrase akin to “Benghazi.”

    Nobody has ever told the Republican base there is no IRS scandal. Pro-Trump and Never Trump Republicans are united in their fixed belief in this unicorn. Charlie Sykes’s new book, How the Right Lost Its Mind, which is primarily dedicated to the rise of the right-wing fever swamp and the role of the conservative media in allowing its fantasies to swell unchallenged, casually mentions — in the section explaining why conservatives have some legitimate grievances — “IRS targeting of Tea Party groups.” Fervently anti-Trump conservatives like Michael Gerson, George Will, Noah Rothman, and many others continue to cite the nonexistent scandal as if it were a real thing.

    It has become a cliché to point to some long-standing feature of right-wing politics and conclude this is why Trump won. But it is also a point with a high degree of truth. Conservatives spent decades building a closed epistemology of alternative facts, and Trump repurposed it for his own ends.

    Exactly!!!. Seems they would just prefer to obstruct other ideas without providing a plan of their own. They probably have no original ideas of their own.

    I read that. It's far-removed from an overhaul---it looks like a couple of tweaks.

    Where is the GOP's proposed overhaul?

    They haven't governed in so long that they no longer know how to do it.

    LOL. You haven't read what I posted?
    I showed you data for border apprehensions and expulsion. Being at all time highs.

    I am not posting in anyone's defense. I am posting actual data.

    All you done is give your opinion and some numbers that showed who ever did those numbers don't even know how to do simple math. Your 14% is 14 of 1000. Everyone in grade school math can do %. But not you or your source.

    Your question was why hadn't the GOP proposed new legislation. I showed you that they had. I don't know where you are drawing the line between tweaks and overhaul. What would be the difference in your mind?

    So, if the GOP proposed all immigrants to sing "America the Beautiful", would you have posted that as a law that the GOP is offering ?

    OK now I see. You were sure that the House GOP hadn't proposed any immigration legislation, and when I showed that they had, you're embarrassed by being wrong. That does explain your proposed "America the Beautiful" legislation.

    Well republicans traditionally assert government doesn't work. So when they get elected, they seek to prove it.

    For all those still suffering under the misapprehension that the President is not an officer of the United States, perhaps a perusal of Article III may help…?

    The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office

    In case of the removal of the President from office,

    Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath

    I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States

    law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone

    The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

    No. You offered that minor tweak as evidence of the GOP trying to fix immigration. THAT's embarrassing.

    Out of country.
    Not only is your math bad, your story is bad. Is that an admission that the entire story was not from an internet article, but you actually just made it up?

    That just isn't true. Most of them are released into this country.

    You've already shown you're just making it all up.

    If they are released into country, they are here legally.
    Those who don't have a case to be in country legally are not allowed in

    Maybe you don't know the difference between legal and illegal?
